Owen at Almy and Thomas has dealt with my matrimonial case. He has been extremely professional at the same time as understanding and considerate to the situation. He has been in good communication with me throughout, explaining anything I may have been unsure or concerned about. With his help and professionalism I have now reached a final outcome which is a huge relief and weight off my shoulders.
Caroline and everyone else at Almy and Thomas who I have spoken to during this case has been friendly and professional.
I am very grateful to everyone for their time. I would highly recommend Owen and Almy and Thomas for legal requirements. I will certainly be in touch with them for any other future legal requirements I may have.

I recently purchased a property, and I must say that my experience was exceptional. They were incredibly thorough and didn't miss a single detail. Their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process, and I felt informed and involved every step of the way. I highly recommend Lin Cane to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable professional.

Lin and Jenny have been a extremely helpful team for conveyancing especially for a first time buyer. They are a great firm to use and are very reasonably priced. The transaction went smoothly and Jenny & Lin were always on hand to keep me updated by email and by post and everything was done very thoroughly.

Report
Absolute joke of a solicitor firm. Rubbish at responding, you get 4 different people emailing you stuff but not one can reply. Very very slow in operation. They give you a charge but they always add on that charges on top of what they say. One member needs to be retrained in their abilities to perform their job correctly and efficiently
