Julie Summers was great
Julie Summers, of the Constantine & Summers branch of Couchmans, was hugely professional and helpful with a complicated conveyancing for an elderly relative involving a number of superior leases. Her assistant Ambreen, and all the other staff at Constantine & Summers in Camberley, were unfailingly helpful too. I would recommend Julie and Ambreen without hesitation.

Professional and sensible advice
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julie Summers and the whole team. Julie acted for me in what was a very long and difficult divorce involving several court hearings. I was very impressed with the way in which my case was handled and I felt reassured with Julie representing me. I was always given realistic and sensible advice and Julie also knew exactly how to handle the multiple challenges and difficulties we encountered from the other side. With 3 court hearings and a case lasting over 4 years it was a very costly divorce, however I never felt that the firm was encouraging unnecessary fees, I always felt that the firm were trying to keep my costs down and I was always advised me on the most cost effective way to do things.
Response time was very good, and when there were occasions i needed a very urgent answer Julie did endeavour to contact me, which was appreciated.
The Paralegal team and office staff are also very knowledgeable and helpful which also helps a lot. Many thanks to all.

Julie was exceptional on a number of levels, her legal knowledge and clear advice were outstanding. I would recommend Julie to anyone going through this difficult time. Julie was professional, proactive and she provided me with so much confidence every step of the way. Julie managed my expectations and was very approachable.
Ambreen was also outstanding, she was empathetic and very responsive to my requests. Ambreen was a pleasure to deal with.
Thank you to both Julie and Ambreen.

Divorce Proceedings
Having moved solicitors in June 2022 due to poor service / relationship with first company / solicitor I was very pleased with the initial response and meeting with Julie Summers regarding my Divorce, she was extremely professional and supportive with a clear communication of what the future actions and process will be. Supported by Ambreen Mehmood the communication and clear friendly active support just made the process a lot less painful than could have been. The flow of information was timely and relevant, this helped me provide the correct information, that in turn allowed the process to flow smoothly.
It was a pleasure to have had Julie represent me with all the support around

Divorce proceedings handled excellently
Swapped solicitors for several reasons and was recommended Julie. From the first meeting everything was explained clearly and simply with a very good feeling for the service I would be given. Throughout the whole process communication was excellent and timely when required, support was always available if needed. The overall experience was great with clarity at every stage and very good advice that kept everything on track and running smoothly. Never felt lost or left out.
Great solicitor that I would highly recommend to anyone. Every stage was made straight forward and explained well.
Would recommend both the firm as everyone was professional and friendly at all times, also Julie who was just amazing and made the stressful situation straightforward and simple
