We had a long running problem with our landlady which Mr Crook and his team helped us with. We won our case in the end. I found the advice Mr Crook gave us was excellent and helped enormously. Communications were quick and efficient and his secretary also was very friendly and helpful. Yes I would recommend.

Navigation of a contract was rapidly and effectively handled by Mr Crook. He immediately ascertained my concerns, explained the points of law and alleviated matters with clarity and reassurance. His secretarial team are highly efficient, responsive and kind. I highly recommend this firm and I am thankful to know that such a team of professionals are there. I recommend their exemplary service.

We have been using Kingsfords for a few years now. Initially for conveyancing and also used their Wills Dept who were excellent in giving us the legal position of scenarios we hadn't considered to ensure that our estate was left only to those we wanted it to be. Celia Willcock has gone above and beyond with a recent sale that was particularly painful dealing with the buyers solicitors when it shouldn't have been.

We got there in the end but only because Celia persevered and got the legal team at Land Registry involved, which considering we were in a pandemic was no mean feat. Our emails are always answered promptly, their fees reasonable but its the service that is outstanding. We are in the process if a purchase now and despite Celia being on holiday last week, her emails were responded to the same working day so we had answers. We will continue to use their services despite now living out of the area.

Very disappointed with the whole service. no communication doesn't reply to emails phone calls. Was told 8 to 10 weeks to sort probate and the estate 17 months later finally had the paperwork returned to us. I would never use kingsfords solicitors again.its been an uphill struggle from day one. Again extremely unhappy with the whole situation.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I got one of the worst experience ever. The both persons who I spoke on the phone were extremely unhelpful, lack of knowledge and dishonest. Shame for the company that hire people and do not provide any training. Will recommend to anyone to avoid there services.
