Positive:Professionalism
Michael took on my case through Legal Aid. It was complex yet he helped me put it into a legal context to make my case for relocation. He was upfront, clear and dedicated.

Positive:Professionalism,Quality
After having an awful experience with a local lawyer who told me there was nothing I could do i spoke to Michael Thomson. Very to the point and takes everything in his stride. After good advise and good work from Mr Thomson my situation has changed dramatically for the best. Would definitely recommend.

I was involved in protracted actions using a solicitor firm in Orkney which was making no progress. I moved to Thompson Family Law and a difficult and complex case which had stalled and was making no progress was transformed completely. Everything went the way I needed it to. It was no more expensive than using an Orkney solicitor, but the progress and success Michael has brought me just doesn't compare. These things are difficult and emotional at the best of times. If you engage fully and listen to all the advice, following it to the letter, he can change your world. To those reviewers unwilling
