I first met Peter Berry and some of his colleagues of Awdry Bailey & Douglas through local networking via Sterling in Swindon and found him very easy to chat with. I'm fortunate that I've not needed Peter's skills personally, with his area of expertise being family law, but I have seen the impact he can have on those who do need him. What struck me about Peter was his focus on the future for his clients and the wider family and not just the numbers (something that really resonates with me as part of a forward looking accountancy business) I've seen many family issues for clients over the years but with Peter's approach I know that he'll make the toughest of times just that little bit easier and this is invaluable. Referrals and recommendations are a delicate area as they reflect back who we are too but I'm confident in Peter and happy to recommend him.

Our chosen solicitors for our house purchase. Jas has been great from start to finish. Great communication all the way through. If you want easy/stress free/fast conveyancing then this is the firm to use. Jas is highly recommended.

If you want to run up large legal bills on incompetent solicitors, this is the firm for you. I have witnessed the full process of a divorce case managed by this firm and been party to phone calls with their staff. In summary - hopeless and a waste of money. Some particular highlights: 1 - drafting of numerous letter for several months that. achieved nothing but run up several thousands of pounds 2 - emails ignored, phone calls unanswered and appointments missed 3 - important financial information provided by the other side sat on by the solicitor and not revised for months 4 - Confidential information of a property transaction from another client sent to us in error.

The most worrying thing is we have followed the complaints procedure and received a letter back accepting no fault, not acknowledging any issues and dismissing the complaint "we have all worked in a different way last year due to the pandemic" So it appears that the pandemic is to blame for their incompetence. Awaiting a response from a senior partner, will post an update in due course.
