A huge thank you to Michael Thompson and his team for all their hard work and dedication throughout my child custody case. Michael is focused on the task at hand and knows exactly what he is talking about. He always reassured me and filled me with great confidence during such a vulnerable and daunting time in my life. It was always quick and easy to communicate with Michael and his team who are all very professional, knowledgeable and have delivered an amazing result in court for me! If you are seeking legal representation, I would recommend you choose Thompson Family Law.

Would avoid at all costs.. read the reviews and you will be shocked he's done it to loads of clients!!! UNPROFESSIONAL!!! UNWORTHY!!!! DECEITFUL !!!! DO NOT TRUST .. his reply to my concerns were go viral!!!!!
I was represented by Michael Thompson, who took my case at a really critical time, after the sudden and unexpected closure of my prior solicitors firm, immediately before the four year family law action was due to go to proof. I was in a desperate situation, where no one would take on my legal aid case at such an advanced stage. Within minutes of instructing Michael Thompson, he had my files, had applied for a change in my legal aid, and had begun delegating tasks to members of his firm. I would say his tagline is: ‘let’s action this immediately’. His team were all highly capable, and thorough, collecting witness affidavits and evidence. Michael defended my case in the proof hearing, and the first day of proof was my first time meeting Mr Thompson. He is a bit like a solicitor from the movies, and was quite dramatic in court. ‘I object My Lady.’ He was not afraid to take necessary risk. Not only did he make sure that I was comfortable and reassured, he made sure that my witnesses and those supporting me felt the same. It’s quite awful having those that you love interrogated in the witness box, but Michael made them feel as comfortable as possible before and after. I am satisfied that Mr Thompson represented me in a kind and fair way, with rigour and force when needed. He is very cool. Make sure to get appointments with him in early, by phoning the office. He knows the law, and reassures you by quoting the law in a way I’ve found that other solicitors have not. I am very happy that Michael has put the appropriate time and effort into my case. He sometimes makes contact via WhatsApp, which is actually really handy, and at times, especially during the proof, would be working on my case through the night. I really appreciate Michael and his firm stepping in at such a vulnerable time, and having had a few solicitors I’m really happy with how I have been represented.
I approached Thompson Family Law in 2022 to instruct them in a civil case regarding transfer of property and divorce. Michael Thompson dealt with my case, and did so efficiently and with conviction. He explained how the law and court system worked and dealt with my enquiries in person. He was confident from the outset that I had a good chance of winning my case, which turned out to be true. He argued my case before a sheriff and was particularly deft in cross-examining the defendant. Despite the vagaries of the court system, which can be subject to delay, Michael won the case partly through his knowledge of case law, and partly through his skills as an examiner. I would recommend Thompson’s to anyone, and particularly those who who need financial assistance through the Legal Aid Scheme.
First of all I would like to say a big thank you to my partner for finding this wonderful law firm. My solicitor Michael was so supportive and dedicated to my case in aiding me to achieve a fair result. He was always putting me at ease, very focused, had a no nonsense approach and remained professional at all times. I wouldn't think twice about recommending this law firm to anyone. My case was a rather unique one and the team were with me every step of the way
