• Fixed fees available – no surprise bills
• Flexible appointments by phone, video, or in-person across Scotland

How We Deliver Certainty, Protection & Practical Solutions

Our Expertise Makes the Difference

From multi-million-pound divorces to international child relocation, we have handled a wide range of complex and sensitive cases. We also assist in straightforward situations where parties have reached agreement and need legal guidance to ensure everything is covered — always providing the certainty you need.

Most of our solicitors hold one or more Law Society of Scotland specialist accreditations in family or child law, with the rest working towards them. As the Law Society says, “Accreditation acts as a hallmark of experience that a client can trust.”

Our Approach: Compassionate, Practical, Results-Focused

Family disputes affect more than legal issues—they touch every part of life. We combine expert legal knowledge with genuine compassion and practical solutions.

With this trusted expertise, our family divorce lawyers & solicitors help you achieve the best possible outcome for your unique situation.

Transparent Fees You Can Trust — A Practical Solution

No hidden costs. No surprise bills. We believe in complete transparency — giving you certainty about costs:
• Free 10–15 minute telephone consultation
• Fixed-fee options available for some matters (e.g., undefended ordinary divorce)
• Clear cost estimates upfront
• 3-minute billing for fairer pricing on shorter tasks

Stuart Sullivan

Used this firm for the first time. Lynn was great and offered clear communication throughout. This along with the transparent pricing structure for the services I used made the whole process straight forward from start to finish. I would recommend.

Hayley Brown

From start to finish, my entire divorce process was seamless. I was able to contact Lynn at any time, and she was always more than happy to help with my many questions and kept me informed throughout. Forming and signing affidavits was straightforward and Lynn was in touch when my divorce was granted to let me know.

I hope I never have to use a family lawyer again, but if I did I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rooney Family Law and can’t recommend them highly enough.

I required legal support. I chose Rooney because they are a family firm. I’m so glad I did!! And would have no reservations in using them again. Their fees and terms and conditions are very transparent. Initially first half hour is free. I no longer needed service and on contacting them I was told no fee as they had not opened a file for me.
Wonderful!! Thank you Rooney Family.

I’ve got a tough time ongoing my divorce. Ann Marie makes those circumstances easier to handle. She was always available to help; I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with a few people from the Rooney Family Law team; they all were friendly and very helpful with all my questions. Their empathy for clients and understanding of different circumstances make me feel supported. I will recommend them to anyone looking for professional and understanding people to help with divorce. Thank you, guys, again. All of you are amazing.
