Report
At an Initial consultation of a family law case (asset management), we were advised it was very straightforward and would be concluded within 4 weeks. 12 weeks in and no work has been carried out on our behalf even after the person dealing with our case "promised to work all weekend and have something in the post on Monday". That was 4 weeks ago. 3 months, and 12 calls later (which only 2 were returned) we have parted ways. Please avoid. There are far better out there.

Report
Good firm and sound advice from one of the partners. Charges rather excessive for 1/2 hour chat. Reception area is rather open and a bit daunting if you want to discuss something confidential.

Highly recommend these solicitors to anyone, they were so helpful with a small certifing of forms I needed doing, not only were they willing to do it there and then but only charged me half the cost of what it should be, very professional and would instantly go back to them for anything else I would need in the future. Thank you.

Very proactive and helpful. Conveyancing efficient and at a good price with staff who genuinely cared about making my house purchase as stress free as they can. Local offices so you can see an individual if you need to. Much better than large faceless conveyancing companies
