Purchase of 70 Par Green, Cornwall

My experience of dealing with FDC Law was excellent. The young girl on reception was very courteous and professional and my solicitor, Stuart, was quick to respond directly to any any queries, in a clear, concise, and friendly manner. It was pleasing and reassuring to know that this time sensitive matter was being given the urgent attention that it required.

Family Law Case, So Knowledgeable and Proactive

I felt at ease after my first initial consultation at the Midsomer Norton offices. I was given clear advice and told the procedure should I go ahead.

Once my case began, my solicitor fought my case until the end and I was pleased with final outcome. I would highly recommend the company.
