Mr Warren provided a truly excellent service for me on two occasions. He demonstrated exceptional professionalism and high standards of service as well as kindness and thoughtfulness. Mr Warren sued someone who had taken advantage of me and withheld a lot of money owed to me. I can very highly recommend him without hesitation.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality My father was a life long customer of Bassetts. In dealing with his estate I have found Bassetts to be unhelpful, unsupportive and the person we dealt with was uncaring and obstructive. She had no people skills whatsoever. We took our custom elsewhere.
