Judith’s Story

About me

I have two children (twin girls) and love to spend time with them (when they behave) doing what they enjoy and being a mum. I like taking long family walks in forests.

I studied at Aberdeen Uni and after a traineeship in Criminal Law, I moved back to Glasgow in 2003 to be nearer my parents and to specialise in Family Law.

I have worked in three other firms before joining Scullion LAW. I have been lucky enough to receive the guidance and support here to really thrive and be the best I can be!

Interesting facts:

I have been a Reiki Master for over 20 years.

I am a Legal 500 recommended lawyer. I am a member of the Law Society of Scotland Sub-Committee on Child and Family Law. I am an Accredited Mediator and Accredited Specialist in Family Law and Child Law. I am a collaboratively trained solicitor.

About my work in the firm

I work on the management of the firm as a whole and lead the Family Law Team.

I love getting results for clients. It is extremely satisfying when cases are concluded and clients can move on with their lives. I love being able to help clients move forward to a positive future.

I love to listen to my clients to understand their individual challenges and tailor my advice to each client’s specific needs.

Skills:

Listening, understanding, negotiating, researching, building a case, and court advocacy. Problem-solving and teamwork.

I am able to help clients find realistic practical solutions in negotiations, mediation and collaborations. I can help clients obtain court orders if needed.

I focus on what is important to my clients and deliver the results.

How I can help

I can take away the stress and fears you have by helping you find a solution.

I can help you reach a negotiated settlement or obtain court orders which conclude your financial relationship with your ex-partner or help you enter into an agreement with your existing partner to make provisions for any future separation.

I can negotiate child care arrangements or obtain court orders for you to spend time with your children.
