I recently moved house and was recommended Alan Williams at Gullands by a friend. I was very happy with the service. Alan nearly always came back to me by the end of the day. I spent no time chasing for answers, unlike the rest of the people in the chain! As Alan said, 'you can only go as fast as the slowest person'' which is so true. I was very glad I had used both him and Gullands.

Excellent service from Alan Williams at Gullands Solicitors. He explained each step of my house purchase, kept me well informed and best of all always replied immediately to messages and emails. My purchase went through very quickly and smooth. I would definitely recommend him.

We had not used Gullands before and have been delighted by the service they have given us. We were acting as Executors in the sale of a property and Alan Williams explained everything we would need to do very clearly. He kept us informed at every stage and made the transaction quick and easy. Our experience was great and good value for money. A big thank you to Alan Williams and his support team.

Recently found ourselves in need of a solicitor for my Son - having never needed one before, I made a couple of calls to local solicitors to seek advice and after visiting them, were not impressed! I then found Gullands and after speaking to John Roberts, we immediately made an appointment to discuss our case further. We were due to meet with John but ended up seeing Michelle Pibworth. She was incredibly sympathetic and took in the details, offering professional, precise and impartial advice.

She also gave us a guide of the costs involved, Michelle kept in contact with us even when she wasn't in the office and was very thorough. My Son was represented by John Roberts and thanks to Michelle and John's knowledge, sound guidance and professionalism, the result that they achieved was beyond anything we could have hoped for. I can recommend Gullands without reservation, they have been outstanding.

Avoid this company at all costs, instructed them on a separation issue, the next day they sent all the meeting notes to my ex partner by mistake finishing any chance of a reconciliation, not a word of apology, when I approached them for an explanation was met with the arrogance of a bullying headmaster very unpleasant Experience, there are plenty of solicitors around use someone else would have left no stars but couldn't
