Deirdre
Smyth

Deirde has simply been an amazing, honest, trustworthy, reliable and super intelligent barrister and advocate for us. Her knowledge and expertise in the family, probation and prison law space has been absolutely invaluable. Her professionalism, patience and due diligence has been second to none and I have no doubt we would not have been able to get the result we did without her.

Dee Smythe represented me in a very difficult child arrangement hearing. I was a litigant in person and Dee was very patient and helpful in offering her professional advice on my position statements. Dee is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to put my mind at ease. Court is a very distressing place to be and i felt like Dee was on my side and speaking on my behalf gave me peace of mind. And I can't thank her enough for all her advice and support.

I have used Deirdre Smythe for several hearings in the Family courts and have always found her to be extremely knowledgeable and supportive, going above and beyond to ensure that we were both fully prepared. The support Deirdre provides in this field is unique in that her honesty, passion and sincerity is unlike any representation I have had previously. Her eloquent and respectful approach in court provided me with confidence that allowed me to strongly advocate for my children and I am very grateful.

I was self-representing when the other side managed to get legal aid, and I was then at a massive disadvantage with the hearing just around the corner. Dee and I spoke out of hours on several occasions which was incredibly helpful as I have very limited childcare. Dee advised me on areas where I had been poorly advised, and ultimately helped me achieve the right outcome with regard to a contested NMO. She was both grounding and inspirational, professional and determined, most of all a damn good barrister who was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Dee Smythe came in last minute to help on a complex family case, and her approach was both knowledgeable and professional. Dee was able to grasp the situation quickly and was tenacious in her provision in court, resulting in a positive outcome. I am very grateful to Stassi who organised everything quickly and with clarity, and for Dee’s invaluable ability to empower me as a client to tackle paperwork, which ensured me greater understanding of the whole legal process.

I was put in touch with Dee Smythe, and straight from the first telephone call I trusted her. She today has gone above and beyond for my son, from being told that his case had been adjourned, she went all out to make it happen. I went home with my family today and I am so very grateful. If you ever find the need to get yourself a barrister, get yourself a great one and instruct Dee Smythe, her determination, professionalism, and knowledge is overwhelmingly reassuring. Thank you so very much Dee.
