This was our first house purchase so was unsure about many things. Cari explained everything and no question was too silly! She understood our position, was friendly and efficient with her responses and chasing up the seller’s solicitors. She really made the whole process easy and enjoyable! Thank you Cari!

We have used Cari Evans at Watkins Solicitors twice now and would highly recommend her. Cari has been approachable, friendly, highly professional and extremely efficient in all aspects of our house purchase and charge notice taking the time to always explain the legal jargon and detail and getting everything completed in the shortest of timescales. Thank you so much!

I have used Watkins on two occasions and have had excellent results both times. I recently worked with Cari Evans for the purchase of a property and cannot fault her. Her communication has been brilliant and they were very diligent in making sure all enquiries were satisfied before completion. We had a turn around of 11 weeks since an offer was accepted! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy solicitor, I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I have been very happy with the service Morgan has provided. I was very apprehensive about the house selling process, but she has always been friendly, efficient and approachable- and replies to emails very promptly. Her advice has always been clear, and I felt no question was too silly to ask!

Through a very difficult process Emma and Beverley have been absolutely fantastic. They have helped advise, support and helped reduce the monumental stress of the EHCP. Their knowledge and expertise, working with the LA really helped us get the very best EHCP we could have hoped for. They have since given us follow up support in annual reviews and we will continue to use them each year. Thank you!

We also aim to make our services affordable. We are transparent on costs, with no hidden extras. At our first meeting we will go through the payment terms that are most suited to your means. Additionally, we often promote special offers. Legal aid has now largely disappeared but we remain one of the few firms in the Bristol area able to offer public funding from the Legal Aid Authority. Legal aid may now mainly be restricted to cases involving either child care cases or domestic violence but during our initial meeting with you we will be able to tell you whether you will be eligible for legal aid. We are proud to have won the Bristol Law Society Legal Aid Firm of the Year for 2013/2014.
