Report
The firm is brilliant, and I was lucky enough to have had Catherine Burgess as my solicitor, she is extremely thorough, professional and dedicated to her work. We managed to settle the matter out of court and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome. Thank you so much for everything

I honestly can't recommend these enough! Used Andrew Williamson for conveyancing and Catherine Burgess for Litigation. Both were amazing! They are so on the ball you never have to chase them, they always call you back straight away and are well prepared for any situation that may arise. Thank you so much for your professionalism!

Having used this firm on 2 occasions to expedite the terms of my parents wills, I can not praise to much the way things were executed on both occasions in what is a very testing time, my interactions with Juliet Hibbert made the process run smoothly, I would fully recommend using this firm.

I was passing through Nantwich and I needed a title deed document witnessed and no other solicitor or even my bank branch (NatWest) would help. Step up Andrew Williamson to save us, very friendly, saw us straight away. Highly recommend.
