Received a recommendation about Lisa Cornish and Gillhams Solicitors from an estate agent for a house purchase and had a fantastic experience. Lisa was professional, courteous and had great communication. She clearly explained the process and kept us updated throughout the purchase process. With Lisa overseeing we had the highest confidence that everything would go through smoothly and everything did.

For a house sale a year later, due to the positive experience with Lisa, we used Gillhams again. Our solicitor on this occasion was Sharado Watson. We had a largely positive experience with Sharado and he dealt with our sale in an efficient and professional manner despite challenges from the prospective buyers. All went through successfully. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gillhams Solicitors for a house purchase / sale and will certainly use them again.

On behalf of myself, my sister Julie and brother Peter we would have no hesitation in recommending Gillhams Solicitors. We needed help with sorting out mum/dads wills. The thought of which was very stressful for us. Heena and Theresa were so professional and supportive in all matters regarding this. They kept us informed of everything and put our minds at ease. Lisa was our solicitor throughout selling of house and purchasing flat and lease extension. Lisa was also very professional and supportive. Kept us up to date answered all our questions. We are very grateful to you all.

Excellent firm and exceptional professional solicitors. I recently dealt with Caroline Greenbourne and Lisa Cornish from the firm. They were very helpful and professional and extremely through, they explained things very clearly. I would highly recommend Gillhams Solicitors.

I would definitely recommend Gillhams Solicitors. My sister and I used Chris Poxamatis who helped save the day! He with the help of Natasha successfully settled a financial family dispute for us.
