Jacklyn Dawson has handled two house sales for us in the past year - both were expertly managed. We were particularly impressed by Denize Okutan who worked with outstanding care and purpose to get the most recent transaction completed. Strongly recommended

Absolutely incredible service! Always answering phone calls and replying to emails. Matthew Price went above and beyond for me, working late into the evening to complete everything ready for the following day, even through COVID and working from home, everything was completed in a swift manner. Cant wait to use again, would 100% recommend.

Report
I have recently dealt with Helen Noble at the Monmouth office who dealt with my late father's probate application. At my appointment, Helen had everything ready and just had to confirm a few figures to complete the application which went through with no problems. Helen was extremely professional and very well organised and explained exactly what documents I needed to produce. Jacklyn Dawson Solicitors is a fantastic practice and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them for all aspects of legal queries.

Carla Coulstock thoroughly deserves a 5 star rating for dealing so professionally with our recent property purchase. All communications received were clear, and answers to questions always prompt. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to have Carla act on our behalf again
