Highly recommend Stacey & Mason. Worked with both William Mason on a separation and Julie Tyrrell on property transactions and the service was always excellent. William Mason really got to grips with the specifics of my separation and provided excellent advice on the different options and best approaches to take which made the whole process go much more smoothly and quickly than it might otherwise have.
A friend in a similar situation with a less effective solicitor spent a great deal more time and money on solicitors' fees so it's really worth investing in a good solicitor and I would definitely recommend Stacey & Mason.

Our experience of this firm and Mr Bill Mason is excellent and very evil, Mr Bill Mason represented us on a legal matter which he dealt with professionally. However, on the second matter, he and the firm's legal system and or Mr Bill Mason failed to realise he had acted for two of his clients then represented one against the other. This level of failure of system or process is deplorable but for a senior partner is beyond unprofessional and not in keeping with the regulatory body the SRA they aspire to be regulated by. If you use or are using this firm, check the other parties' position.

Can not recommend this firm enough. They are fantastic and handled my situation professionally and efficiently. They were very understanding and took the time to gain all the information needed and presented it in an extremely professional manner. They kept me updated on every bit of progress and cleared up anything I was unsure on. Would definitely use them again if needed.
