Litigation and contract support
I was introduced to Claire Spencer at Woodfines for assistance with a litigation matter. From the outset, Claire was approachable and helpful in simplifying the legal process and outlining our options, providing great advice throughout. Her diligence and experience helped us to resolve the case successfully, quickly and cost effectively. We were so impressed with the service, we recommended Claire and Woodfines to our Group Legal team based in Ireland for assistance with contract reviews and other litigation. They too were really impressed with the service - Claire and her team are our "go to" if we need legal advice and help going forward. 10/10.

Woodfines were excellent
Having not come from the area we hadn’t used Woodfines before. We found them to be fantastic, timely and very diligent. Claire was really helpful and took away a lot of the stress by providing great advice.

A very difficult situation extremely well handled
Sylvia Goulding handled a commercial sale for me and recommended Claire for a very difficult litigation matter which had by then been drawn out over 7 years. The matter was complicated and the time period had allowed vital evidence to be lost by the other parties. Claire was able to bring clarity to the situation and steer a course through the continual obfuscation and misinformation which had clouded the previous 7 years. She was also able to manage my expectations with a realistic but genuinely sympathetic approach. Through careful reading and understanding Claire was able to rescue my case from the edge of disaster and help find some justice.

Property Possession Advice
I needed a tenant to vacate a flat, because of antisocial behaviour.
He was unwilling to leave, but finally did so without a court hearing as he did not want that on his record.
Rachel Eagle was very helpful in pursuing this, but taking legal advice is costly so must be a last resort.

Excellent service
Woodfines were a great choice of solicitor to sort out the litigation that had been going on for around 4 years. I was very impressed with the service I received from Claire, she kept me informed of what was happening at all stages and dealt with the issue effectively. I was genuinely impressed. I can't thank Claire enough for finally sorting this out for me!
