Lauren Kilbride Reviews

September 17, 2026
Utmost professionalism and Lauren took the time to explain everything and the steps that would be followed. Communication was superb, and everything was handled with pace. A very stressful time, vacant a lot calmer and straight forward thanks to the dealings with Rothera Bray and in particular Lauren Kilbride.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

At a challenging time, I had reached out to multiple solicitors for guidance/advice. It was Lauren who stood out from the rest. Lauren offered me advice with my situation without me having to her appoint her as my solicitor. It was because of that advice and the better outcome of my situation, that I did with gratefulness, engage with Lauren to be my solicitor. Lauren was professional, effective and efficient in a timely manner. This brought the outcome to a close and for me to move forward. Although I hope not to be in this situation again. I would not hesitate to reach out to Lauren, if it did.

Lauren Kilbride was highly professional and helped me to work through my settlement agreement. She took great care to explain everything to me in a clear and non-patronising way. Lauren was also quick to identify and correct potential problems in the draft version of the agreement. I was extremely impressed by the depth and breadth of her knowledge. I would recommend Lauren unreservedly to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
