Very pleased with the legal services we received from Judge & Priestly for the sale of our flat. Caroline was very approachable, quick to answer any queries and explained everything very clearly to us. She also went out of her way and worked overtime to keep the process moving forward despite significant challenges caused by our buyers' solicitor - so we really appreciated that! The rest of the team were also very helpful and friendly when we needed to contact them. Thanks very much!

I will never use Judge & Priestley again or recommend them to anybody. I didn't even choose to use them, I was passed to them through the Estate Agent's recommended solicitor. Absolutely shocking service. Calls and emails unanswered. The sale & purchase of a property is stressful enough without having the added stress of an incompetent Solicitor. Without naming names the lady who dealt with me took both a honeymoon and a holiday during my case - and the stand-in was nowhere to be seen.

On the day of exchange I was sent the purchase contract - that had to be signed, witnessed and hard copy returned - so I had to literally drive to their office to sort it out. No apology or explanation from the Solicitor - if it wasn't for the paralegal's then I would have had a breakdown. I have left leaving a review for a few weeks so I've had time to calm down but I am still shocked at the appalling service I received.

Having been recommended by a friend I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Judge and Priestley. My will was dealt with in a very professional, courteous and friendly manner by Hannah Kirkpatrick and exceeded my expectations. Above all it's the peace of mind I feel. More than happy to recommend to others.

Excellent service. I exchanged several emails with this business, and everyone I contacted were patient and courteous. The short meeting I had was also courteous and efficient. I would recommend this business to anyone.
