Fixed Fee Interview

Melanie was extremely friendly, approachable and professional. She very quickly put my wife and I at our ease and made sure that we totally understood everything and equally that she understood our instructions to her.

Fully recommend

5

A wild ride from start to finish with the claimant being a compulsive liar
and not realising that you can’t leave assets to people in a will if you are not the owner.
A complex case of which the other side and their solicitors never really grasped the business
structure. Hayley Gaffney and Mel Grose were great throughout and were recommended by
Ed Coode himself. We came to a settlement at Mediation and although we may have done
what was best financially for all parties involved. I didn’t feel we had justice but the high
costs of a court case was not something we wanted to risk. All in all Coodes made the other
solicitors look like they were going backwards. Hayley & Mel were always quick to keep us
updated and reply. Correspondence from the claimants solicitors took that long you’d think
a snail was delivering it. I will make Coodes the first port of call when needing a solicitor in
the future and can fully recommend both Hayley Gaffney and Melanie Grose ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Support from day one

5

From day one I felt I had the support from Coodes which was important to me as I was going through a tough time and without your help I would not have been able to the matter to rest. I must congratulate you on making the process relatively easy as I was able to let you take care of everything and you kept me up to date at every stage. A very reasonable settlement was achieved in quite a short time which I think was down your specialist knowledge in this particular matter.I would like to thank the both of you (Melanie Grose and Hayley Gaffney) for your support and professionalism regarding my matter
