Livingstone Brown Client Testimonials
Thanks to Murray for being so professional and efficient and making the whole experience straightforward, it’s very much appreciated.
I would like to express my thanks to Murray McKelvie for his assistance and communication throughout the task of closing my brother's estate and all that it entails. I would recommend Livingstone Brown as they were recommended to myself and it was a good call.
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Mrs Julia Donnelly for her invaluable assistance over the past year with my family action concerning residence of my child, and a specific issue order. Her expertise and dedication were instrumental in reaching a suitable agreement to resolve the case. I am sincerely grateful, and cannot thank her enough for her outstanding assistance.
I am very thankful to Murray McKelvie for his handling of my case, providing me with the answers that I required - without his help I don’t think I would have received any definitive answers about my father’s estate at all.
Many thanks, Julia, for handling my divorce. It’s a fantastic outcome, finally, and a major relief. I will be eternally grateful for all your help with this, dealing firmly and professionally with a difficult opponent side and steering things to success. I also really enjoyed our interactions, especially the friendly chats about work and things during meetings, as they helped me relax and stay optimistic, and showed you care about clients on a personal level. I feel like a major burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I can start to move forward with certainty now. I shall await the final decree when it is issued but viscerally am already feeling the freedom.
Thanks to John Barnes in respect of settling my recent road traffic claim. He kept me updated all the way. Thanks for all your help and I appreciate it. I will definitely come back if I need help with any further claims.
I would like to thank Julia Donnelly and the private client teams so much for their assistance and patience attending to the winding up of this complicated estate, and attending the interests of the beneficiaries. Your dedication and hard work is much appreciated. I would strongly recommend your services to others. Many thanks again to everyone at Livingston Brown for their assistance .
John and Kevin I can’t thank you both enough for everything you both have done for me and my family. I started this process the end of 2019/2020 and then covid hit and the case was put on hold. As soon as covid had eased Kevin and John got straight onto the case again to fight against the council I currently have a house with. They gathered all the evidence I had and went above and beyond with getting external sources in to assess the current living conditions I am in. They also got a medical report for my little boy who doesn’t keep well. John was always updating me via email and telephone about the progress of the claim and the council settled outside of court. Me and my family can’t thank you enough for everything you did and I would highly recommend you both to everyone. 10/10 service.’
I just want to say thank you to Stephen Smith for everything. I think you’ve done amazing, and I’m really pleased with the case. I appreciate all the work you’ve put in so thank you once again for your good work.

Just wanted to say thank you Stephen Smith so much for all your help and work throughout my case. I appreciate all your hard work and support through the prolonged process! We got there in the end.
The client wished to pass on her thanks for the help you provided in acquiring her legal representation. She found the solicitors engaging, knowledgeable and really receptive to her concerns and queries. They were able to speak on her behalf in court and though she chose not to oppose the application, their presence helped tremendously. So thank you sincerely.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kevin Pike for his ongoing commitment to my case and his advice provided for applying to financial redress scheme for survivors of abuse. Without his assistance, I don’t think I could have went through the process.
I wish to thank Mr Smith for his guidance and expertise on Employment Law and his supporting team at Livingstone Brown.
I sustained a serious injury to my back and instructed Kevin Pike to pursue a claim of personal injury on my behalf. I cannot thank Kevin enough for his hard word on my case. He was always available to discuss my case and continued to support and guide me through the process. I was delighted with my settlement which allowed me to move on with my life and I couldn’t recommend Kevin and his team highly enough.
I am writing a review regarding the personal injury and civil litigation department. Kevin Pike, Director and Bobby Russell, Paralegal supported by John Barnes, Legal Secretary were assisting in my clinical negligence claim. Although, I did not get the result I didn't want, this was due to the merits of the case and not the work from the firm. I have found Kevin and Bobby to be extremely supportive and was very understanding, compassionate and caring to me when I was going through a difficult time. Kevin was very resourceful and clearly is a specialist in mental health negligence claims and knows the procedures very well. There is very few solicitors in Scotland who know about mental health negligence claims however I would say that this firm was excellent in their client care to me and always responded to e-mails very quickly, they kept me up to date at all times and always professional when speaking to them. I would have absolutely no hesitation in instructing Kevin Pike again in the future and want him to know that his support was very much appreciated and shows what a caring and specialist firm Livingstone Brown is with a trustpilot rating of 5/5.
Its been almost one week since my Employment Tribunal finished and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the legal representation and guidance I received from you, but more importantly on a personal level I would like to say thank you for the care/support and understanding you showed me whilst going through such a difficult period over the last year, and it is greatly appreciated. I know and accept the outcome of the ET is not certain and I would not hesitate to recommend you and your professional abilities to anyone who may require legal support and advice. So thank you once again.
Many thanks for all your hard work in dealing with the [redacted] issue. Throughout the whole process you were very reassuring. It was a stroke of genius to get a report from [redacted]. At the outset both [redacted] and l were fairly pessimistic about [redacted] chances of coming through this without further psychological deterioration and we are very grateful for the painless course you steered. The outcome has greatly exceeded our expectations. We are also grateful for the assistance given by Mairead.
I would like to offer my thanks and gratitude to Livingston Brown and especially to my appointed lawyer Lucy Neil on how my case was handled throughout and presented in court with relation to a works tribunal. The professionalism and dedication given was remarkable, especially because covid had presented problems on physical meetings, despite having these issues I was amazed with my lawyer being able to take my version of accounts so accurately and presenting it the way she did in court...I would most definitely recommend this organisation to anybody that needed legal representation.
Stuart Munro assisted me during the most difficult time in my career. His support, knowledge and expertise during this period was critical and provided me with the reassurance I needed and the confidence that I had the best possible representation. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart and Livingstone Brown to anyone in need of such representation.
I think you are all so far ahead of everything else I have seen in Scotland. A different class altogether.
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and thank you for the work and time you dedicated on this matter. Thank you once again.
The service provided by Julia Donnelly has been very prompt and professional. At what was a difficult time for all of Mum’s children, there were never any unexpected holdups or miscommunications between myself and Livingstone Brown. This made the entire process of dealing with Mum’s will that much easier and painless. This is in spite of any delays which may have resulted from the COVID 19 lockdown. Overall, therefore, I am very satisfied with the quality of service received from Livingstone Brown and would not hesitate to use them again when needed. I am glad things are largely taken care of now and that is largely down to their sterling efforts.
I am delighted to have received a letter from the council today, granting my placing request and admitting my son in the school of my choice, for the term starting in August 2020. My husband and I are absolutely delighted with this outcome and believe that the assistance provided by Julia Donnelly way of support, and advice about the evidence to lodge before the Education Committee has helped force a review of this decision. Thank you for your help and advice in this matter – my husband and I are extremely relieved that the council have reviewed this decision we have avoided the expense and stress of an appeal hearing at the Sheriff Court. This is a highly successful outcome!
I would recommend Livingston brown (Kevin Pike) to anyone who is looking for professional advice. He works with integrity and understanding. Mr Kevin Pike instilled in me great confidence which enabled me to keep going when difficulties in my case presented themselves.
I can't recommend Mark Allison and Livingstone Brown highly enough following my successful legal action for sex discrimination. Mark's commitment and expert grasp of the legal arguments gave me the confidence to keep going against a very powerful employer. I have since recommended Livingstone Brown to several colleagues with similar cases as I believe having Mark in my corner was the main factor in the successful outcome.
Ms. Nicola Watson is a consummate professional & an absolute credit to her profession. She goes above & beyond for all her clients to examine the detail of each case & will always represent you with the skill, dedication & passion to get the result for you & your family.
I highly recommend Livingston Brown & specifically Ms. Watson for any advice & family law matters.
Livingstone Brown have been absolutely great with all of the support they have given me. They pushed my cases for me and helped me fight for my kids. I knew my cases were very difficult but my solicitors weren’t scared to put things across that went against the social work department and I’m thankful the points were heard by the courts. If it hasn’t been for them, my cases would have fallen through. I felt they always supported me 100%.
I can sincerely recommend Kevin Pike as one of the leading solicitors in Personal Injury Claims. Mr Pike has assisted many of our clients over the last 6 years. His wide spectrum of expertise, compassion to the clients combined with complex methods of litigation he uses brought the outstanding effects in each case he handled. Honest prediction of case prospects, given by Mr Pike, allows his clients to accurately estimate the possible outcome of the case. There are no hidden costs of his representation thoroughly explained to the client at the initial meetings. His extremely professional approach and attention to detail guarantee the highest quality of service. Highly recommended!
We wish to convey that we received a first class service from Livingstone Brown which was excellent from start to finish. The two solicitors we dealt with, Mark & Paul, were courteous, respectful and polite and always communicated efficiently. We always felt at ease and was greeted warmly both via phone call or face to face…this speaks volumes about the personal touch this firm offers. We never felt we were a burden and always felt connected, which radiates just how at ease these guys make you feel. Their attention to detail and their knowledge is absolutely outstanding. To describe them we would say, ‘Nothing short of fantastic and a great family law firm to deal with!
If it hadn't been for my solicitors' advice and determination, I wouldn't have a relationship with my kids. There were so many times when I wanted to give up, or where I thought there was no point in continuing, especially after the grounds of referral were established. I'm so grateful to Dorothy, Paul and Mark and everyone at Livingstone Brown for everything they've done for me and my family.
Kevin represented me in both of my claims for personal injury in the sheriff court and for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. Kevin saw me not just as a client, but as a person. He listened with empathy and valued what I had to say. Kevin gave advice that was straightforward and clear and whenever I contacted the office, he or his paralegal, Bobby Russell, were available to chat things through with me and answer my questions.
Kevin was a tenacious and determined advocate for my interests and stood firm in my corner. I was delighted that Kevin secured a settlement for me of £13,000 at an early stage and dealt with the whole process sensitively. I would recommend Kevin and his team to anyone seeking legal representation.
