Dear Cath, I would like to thank you for the hard work you have done on my behalf. I will be in the office tomorrow to collect the divorce decree and all the documents handed during the divorce process. Many thanks for giving your time thoughts and understanding.

Cath was a fantastic help through a difficult time from start to finish. Prompt answers and advice to all my queries. Very very cost effective. I can strongly recommend her services as a family lawyer in Scotland.

From the first phone call – to find out where to start the process of separation – I knew I was in good hands. I wanted a collaborative approach and she guided me through the collaborative and not-so-collaborative process with empathy, knowledge and support. She provided us both with excellent financial and counselling support professionals as part of the collaboration and kept me calm when it felt like the world was falling apart. There were tears, there were meltdowns (me – not her!) but there were also some laughs and this made the horrible process of divorce just that bit easier to bear. A divorce is possibly the hardest emotional rollercoaster one will ever encounter – and people like Cath Karlin are essential to get through it. I would have no hesitation in recommending her should any of my friends ever find themselves in need of a good family lawyer.

Cath was very thorough and gave additional advice on what would help in my/our situation. The fact she is passionate about separations being healthy and as smooth and compassionate as possible, especially where children are involved, was a huge draw for me. She completed the job on time and was a pleasant upbeat presence throughout, as was her super helpful PA/secretary who I also engaged with as part of the process.

“I would not hesitate to recommend her…”

I was referred to Cath during the divorce process after initially having a disappointing experience with another lawyer. I had felt unsupported and confused about exactly how to proceed. After my first conversation with Cath, that all changed. She is upbeat, direct and able to communicate the complexities of the law in simple terms. Divorce is a very distressing experience but Cath was very focused throughout, engendering my trust and confidence during some anxious times. I had faith in Cath’s ability to keep the process firmly on track, even when the other side dragged their heels, and would not hesitate to recommend her.

“She accomplished the impossible within two months…”

I went to Cath Karlin for help in dealing with what was effectively an un-variable separation agreement with a punitive unvariable payment clause in relation to aliment. The original agreement did not provide for any change in aliment in the event of a change of my personal financial circumstances.

In a very short space of time Cath was able to get me out of the un-variable agreement, with a new agreement in place that I could afford to meet. On one view she accomplished the impossible within two months.

She also kept me right when I was under pressure from my ex and also from one of my children-and made me hold the line in the face of emotional blackmail. She entirely understood what I was facing and had obviously seen this many times before. She was a strong negotiator on my behalf.

Over the years I have referred friends and colleagues to Cath to help them resolve their family law difficulties and I have no hesitation in recommending her to deal with these very difficult issues. Cath is entirely personable and indeed once responded to a very upset email from me sent at 6:30 PM on a Friday evening by telephoning me from Dubai at 9:30 the same evening. Truly above and beyond the call of duty. She knows which is doing and she will look after you to the best of her ability.

“You put me on the right course…”

Cath, I just wanted to speak with you personally to thank you for all the effort with my divorce. I am smiling as I type as I can’t help but think back to the times when I was impatient, a tad unreasonable and usually “freaking out” about matters though somehow you managed to calm me down!
I firmly believe you put me on the right course.

“You have given our family a real lifeline…”

Cath, just a quick note to thank you for doing such a terrific mediaton. Whilst there will undoubtably be set backs in the future I think you have given our family a real lifeline here that I am hopeful will make a real difference to all of our lives. You can pat yourself on the back and sleep with a satisfied smile on your face tonight!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better legal team…”

Thank you Cath for all your hard work, good sense and great support over the past year- you and counsel have done a great job all round and I will be eternally grateful to you both for making the process as non bruising for me as possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better legal team.

“Thank you very much for all your hard work, patience and perseverance…”

Cath, thank you very much for all your hard work, patience and perseverance with my client yesterday. I am pretty sure that he does not fully understand what he put you through yesterday and how much you had his best interests at heart, but on his behalf I wanted to say thank you for everything. I am sure that in the future, after he has had a chance to emotionally heal and reflect, he will realise just how well you and counsel looked after his interests and the advice you and counsel gave him, and if he doesn’t I will be telling him for as long as I look after his financial affairs.
