I could not be happier with the service from AN Law. From the moment I contacted and received such a friendly and helpful response from the receptionist, Paula, to the completion of conveyancing and will writing with Richard and Sarah, everyone was; prompt in responding, professional, helpful, clearly knowledgeable, and consistently went the extra mile. They were also reasonably priced, flexible in accommodating my restricted availability, and happy to answer any questions I had as well as giving very helpful additional advice that meant I avoided previously unforeseen pitfalls. I would have no hesitation in recommending ANLaw

Trying to get help with a civil matter on behalf of a vulnerable old man - Albinson Napier wouldn't even respond despite claiming they deal in such law. Absolute disgrace.

Very poor service. I wasn't going to leave a review but seeing that someone else has had a bad experience with Mr Wright I felt I had to. Graham gave us very poor advice from the beginning which has cost us dearly and which he was paid a lot of money for! I constantly had to chase him up on things and there were periods of time when he just didn't respond to emails and didn't get in touch at all. I lost all faith and trust in him.

Recently represented by AN law in a family law matter and have dealt with both Richard and Colin. Both have responded quickly to enquiries always returning calls or emails. This is something that makes a significant difference in family matters as delays seeking advice can only escalate matters. Colin has been nothing but approachable, professional and committed to his work, he replies and completes work promptly, often replying out of hours.

He has always been open and honest in his response and liaises with Richard, again giving prompt feedback. Something that is a big plus is the genuine attitude to help and resolve issues between both sides rather than antagonise them in a bid to increase fees by unnecessary court hearings etc.

Had a great experience with Graham who handled the conveyancing for my property purchase, would definitely use again

I have used Albinson Napier & Co to deal with several civil matters over the years and all have been highly successful. I am very thankful to Richard and Colin for everything they have done for me.

I could not fault Albinson Napier & Co who have handled my divorce. From the initial call when I spoke to Tim, one of the lawyers, at the firm who was very reassuring and said it was his son, Richard, that would handle my family law needs. Then to the free half hour advice from Richard regarding my individual needs relating my divorce, and the process for the divorce. And finally to Colin who had so much time for explaining at each stage how the process worked for the divorce and Consent Order, and the help with what information was needed to completing the paperwork, for following up with emails to my ex, and for replying in the evenings and weekends when I had questions. Thank you Colin for making it a good experience under the circumstances of the divorce.
