Report
Awful firm. Unprofessional, zero communication and massively over priced. 6yrs to complete a divorce and financial resolution and 4 different solicitors! Would never use again or recommend.

A vey smooth transaction from start to finish. Jaycie was my assigned solicitor and did an excellent job. She replies to emails promptly and always keeps you updated during the most critical stages. She pays attention to detail and provides good information helping you make the right decision. I will most certainly be using her services again.

My experience with this business has been excellent. My case was with Sara Baig who worked so hard from the start to finish. She has always been punctual and professional. Though we experienced some obstacles from the council but she was always there to advise and passing messages so quickly to make sure things are done on time. Sara Baig is a five star professional and would recommend her service to actually any one who requires a quality service. I believe should I have the same business in the future, will definitely come back to you and especially ask for Sara.

Good service as soon as Sara. B was handed the case - she made the process very easy and was quick to respond, informative and provided regular case updates throughout the process. I will be using Latimer Lee again based on Sara's performance.
