Yasmin and Grainne were wonderful in helping me during each step of my divorce process. I could not recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a good, friendly, trustworthy and very efficient law firm, you can 100% count on them at BLM. They not only helped me with what I needed, but gave me legal advice on all aspects that I had doubts. I’m a very anxious person and they did not let me down one bit - even when the news weren’t what I expected, they were kind enough to offer suitable alternatives and to show empathy throughout everything. I’ll definitely use them in the future if I ever need a lawyer or a legal team. Thank you very much, one more time, to both Yasmin and Grainne. Your kindness and efficiency during this difficult time in my life won’t be forgotten.

Grainne Fahy literally saved the life of this mother and her two children. From the moment I reached out to her she was the epitome of excellence in every way. She took me by the hand and led me through treacherous waters with expert skill and compassion. She along with her colleague Yasmin Khan-Gunns are a joy to deal with. They are on the ball, swift, conscientious and efficient. They are a fantastic team and simply the best to get things done. Along with M. Feehan, QC; who is sheer brilliance and simply the best, they achieved positive outcomes time and time again. They succeeded where others had failed. I will be forever grateful for what they did for me. If you wish to succeed, there are simply none better.

I was referred to Phillip by a friend of mine and I cannot thank my friend enough!
At what is the most confusing distressing time , divorce, Phil showed true empathetic professionalism. He guided me through the minefield of law and applied his strong moral value of being fair and equitable by just doing the right thing. At no point even during high drama did he waive from this line and protected my mental well being as well as my financial position. Phil is always available probably doesn’t want me to say night and day but he was for me!
Up and beyond is my summation of this man and to say highly recommend doesn’t do justice to the way I feel.
Simply thank you Philip and SH.

I found the case harrowing and I felt handled with compassion and patience throughout especially when needing you to reiterate advice about the complex option.

“Her determination and vigour to ensure her clients are satisfied was clear”
Tags:
Divorce

Knowledgeable
I came to learn of Raphael Law through a post on social media with another person in a similar situation and whole-heartedly recommend them. That one post went on to change the course of my story for the better. At the time, I was using another legal team for the child arrangement proceedings, and the situation was looking dire. Upon reading the post, I booked an initial consultation with Raphael Law and met with Nadia and her team. Right from the offset, I was impressed with Nadia’s abilities. Nadia is extremely personable and I was seen as a person and individual, not just a case number and invoice. Nadia was quickly able to grasp hold of the situation and digest a lot of information (and there is a lot as I am sure you will know). She provided me with a sense of direction that gave me a semblance of hope. Nadia’s knowledge and enthusiasm to obtain positive and achievable results was quick to see, and genuine. It was refreshing and reassuring that my situation was not all but lost. My child arrangements proceedings are still underway, and I have been impressed with Nadia and her team throughout.
I then began divorce proceedings, and was at the time using another firm due to unrelated circumstances. Again, the situation became unfavourable and Nadia noticed I was in a state of despair. Upon explaining the difficulties to her, she again provided me with a solution. Nadia took hold of the case and completely turned the situation around. I realised I should have used Nadia from the start. Her determination and vigour to ensure her clients are satisfied was clear.
From my own experiences, I can echo many before me in that Nadia and the rest of Raphael Law have the tenacity and gumption to provide favourable results. My situation was looking utterly hopeless, but Nadia has managed to restore that. She has resolved the divorce proceedings in a more than satisfactory manner in such a short space of time. I have no doubt that this firm will go beyond the extra mile for you. I am forever grateful to Nadia and the team at Raphael Law. I have a sense of calmness going forward with the rest of my child proceedings and have the utmost confidence in Nadia and Raphael Law.

Advocacy is the act of the solicitor (or more typically, a barrister) putting their client's case to the court. This may happen if a case cannot be resolved via negotiation between the clients’ solicitors (e.g. a divorcing couple cannot come to an agreement on how their finances should be divided), and so the case may then have to go to court in order for a judge to enforce a solution.
CAFCASS
CAFCASS is an acronym for ‘Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service’. It is a public body that exists to consider the best interests of the children involved in family law cases. The officers at CAFCASS offer advice to family courts on what they think is in the best interests of the children involved as a result of their enquiries into a family setting. In some cases they are asked to produce a report for the court with recommendations that include who the children should live with, and what time they should spend with the other parent.
Child Arrangements Order
A child arrangements order is a court order that defines who is responsible for the care of a child, including who they live with and how often the child will have contact the parents. This type of order can be necessary if the parents cannot agree on how to share the care of their child/ren

A child arrangements order is a court order that defines who is responsible for the care of a child, including who they live with and how often the child will have contact the parents. This type of order can be necessary if the parents cannot agree on how to share the care of their child/ren
Collaborative Lawyer
A collaborative lawyer is trained to represent their client through a collaborative divorce process or family dispute. The clients on both sides sign up to to the collaborative divorce process which can involve them and their lawyers attending four-way meetings in order to negotiate and reach a formal agreement that avoids the need for any court hearings.
Prohibited Steps Order
A prohibited steps order is a court order usually applies to a parent and prevents them from conducting certain activities with their child/ren who are under 16 years old (such as preventing the parent from removing the child from school, or them taking the child abroad, or changing their surname). It also prevents the parent from exercising their parental responsibility.
Resolution
Resolution is an industry body with a membership made up primarily of family lawyers. As members, the lawyers agree to conduct their work in line with Resolution’s Code of Conduct which is based on taking a “non-confrontational approach to family law issues”. This means that the lawyer actively tries to reduce conflict between the parties and encourages families to put the best interests of any children first.
Specific Issue Order
A Specific Issue Order is a court order that sets out how a specific question or issue regarding a child should be addressed by the parents. This could be a specific issue that the parents cannot agree on, such as which school the child should attend, or if certain medical treatment should or shouldn’t be administered. If the parents cannot agree, the court can enforce an answer via a Specific Issue Order.
TOLATA (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act)
TOLATA relates to disputes between two individuals who have lived together and now disagree on a matter relating to their cohabitation. Most commonly, this relates to disputes over who owns the property, what the split of ownership is, or who should remain in the property.
The Legal 500
The Legal 500 is a directory of solicitors and firms, broken down by geographic region and legal discipline. Solicitors are ranked in The Legal 500 based on their merit and experience, using publicly available information and information supplied by the firm. Annually, The Legal 500 issues awards to individual law firms and solicitors such as ‘Leading Individual’, ‘Recommended Lawyer’, ‘Rising Star’ and ‘Leading Firm’. It is worth noting that the ‘500’ in the name does not refer to the number of firms/solicitors that are ranked, which is actually a significantly larger number.
