Excellent conveyancing

I have used Kiri and her team 3 times over the last 8 years and her team are excellent. They are prompt clear and always to answer the phone and review a file and provide for me the client.
A solicitor whom you can contact is oh a high value

Did the opposite of what they promised

My experience was for a property purchase that fell through. The onboarding process was fairly smooth with no major issues but my property fell through due to the vendors pulling out after a few weeks of the sale. I called the solicitor and they agreed that since they had not started any work they would issue a full refund for the £400 deposit. However, they only returned part of the deposit to me without any explanation as to why they deducted money! Will not use again due to a lack of trust

House Purchase

My wife and I had a very positive house purchase experience with Warner Goodman, thanks to Sabrina Skerritt and her team. They provided excellent advice, prompt communication, and valuable support throughout, which ensured a stress free experience. We wish you continued success and would certainly use your services again and would recommend Warner Goodman to family and friends.

Excellent service, would very highly recommend

Discussing divorce is painful, emotional, scary, confusing and overwhelming. I felt all of these emotions prior to my appointment with Samantha. Samantha was exceptionally professionally and provided a level of compassion that I wasn't expecting. She expertly guided me to give the information that I needed to understand the position I was in. She was very knowledgeable about the different parts of matrimonial law that were pertinent to my circumstances. She spoke to me with kindness and compassion and explained legal issues to me in a way that was easy to understand. I would say that she went above and beyond to make sure that I understood what she had said and very quickly provided me with notes on our meeting that I could easily refer to for factual information about the situation I was in. This is so important when dealing with matters that leave you vulnerable to forgetting, misinterpreting or misremembering what was said to you because of the emotional state you are in during the consultation. Again, beyond what I would have expected, I felt that Samantha made sure I was recovered enough to leave the office feeling contained and listened to.

Anastasia, Samantha's paralegal assistant was also exceptionally professional and kept thorough, impartial notes which I'm sure assisted in providing me with a really helpful summary of our meeting and clear plans for my next steps.

A huge thank you to both Samantha and Anastasia for helping me at time when I needed it most. This review come with my gratitude to you both, a reminder of the exceptional work you do to help people who are feeling vulnerable and the highest of recommendations for their services. It may seem like a lot of money to pay when you may have little to spare but the advice and compassion is more than worth it!

Excellent Advice. Excellent Service,

I sought Samantha Miles' advice about a sensitive and difficult personal matter arising from a divorce settlement. She was kind and understanding and immediately explained the issues I needed to consider, thereby enabling me to decide the best way forward. She then prepared the necessary documentation for the Court and very soon the matter was satisfactorily concluded. I rate Samantha Miles very highly and I thoroughly recommend her to you.

Warner Goodman dealt with the sale of our old flat and purchase of a new home in a very professional and, considering the circumstances, timely manner.

To go from initial conversations to standing in our new home in just 3 months, a mere 3 days before Christmas Eve, was no small achievement. We'll forever be grateful for how hard everyone worked to get us sorted during such a busy period.

I can only thank them, from the bottom of my heart, for their diligence, professionalism, and above all patience when dealing with a couple of at-times stressed and frustrated young folks.

Look no further.
