Kearney, I wish to place on record my sincere thanks to you and Austin Blackburn for your professional help, and for keeping me well informed as to the progress. At the time of Margaret’s death it would have been very difficult for me to have undertaken a fuller role as executor. I have previously undertaken the role of executor, and have a pretty good idea of much of what is involved. Throughout the whole process, I have been most impressed with the work you and Austin have carried out.

Excellent, full-service solicitor experience

5

My family have used Nash since c. 2003, and during those few decades I've become a full customer, taking care of all my personal and business legal needs. Running a small business has required the services of legal experts who not only understand how the law works, but can see the company through the eyes of those it deals with. I've had to navigate issues like holding companies, share buy-backs, due diligence, litigation, human resources cases, and a number of personal / domestic matters. I've always felt very well supported and by knowledgeable professionals who are always accessible. I look forward to continuing to use Nash & Co going forwards, confident of excellent services.

Could not fault the process

5

I�m writing regarding the sale of Hatt Farm in September 2020, with the conveyance done by Austin Blackburn. I could not fault how Austin handled the sale. He was always quick to reply on any query I had, explained issues very clearly, was courteous and often with a sense of humour! All conveyancers should follow his example! Very happy! I have used Nash and Co for some years now. David Cornelius organised our Wills , Julia�Ludlow has done some conveyancing for me, and is currently doing one for my daughter and son in law, so have every confidence in the firm and� those who work in it, and will continue to instruct the firm for other legal matters in the future.

This solicitor’s firm is a total game changer!

Having dealt with many different firms throughout the past years for various reasons, I can asure anyone that they will be at a loss if they don’t hire these guys. Simply put, don’t waste your money elsewhere.

They are as transparent as any professional can be, extremely diligent, knowledgeable, thorough, available and definitely not money grabbers!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, and I now clearly understand why my friend recommended you with such insistence.

My respects to all the team for returning my trust in solicitors!

Thank you Austin and Talek. Impecable performance.

Wow, Luisa, thank you so so so much for such an incredible review! This is wonderful, and Austin and Talek will be over the moon when they read your feedback. It's hugely important to us that clients feel supported throughout the work that we're doing for them, and that we do as good a job as we can possibly do. We're blessed with some fantastic lawyers - David and Talek are certainly two of them. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such positive praise and feedback. Thank you very much!
