Outstanding Service

I called and left messages with three different Bedford solicitors at around 10am today, as I needed a quick response. Natasha from Woodfines called me back within 30 minutes and provided an excellent service throughout. In fact, what I thought would take a number of days, was completed by 4.00pm on the same day. The other solicitors still haven't called me!
Thank you for providing such a prompt and friendly service

Excellent Legal Service and Support 5/5


I recently had the pleasure of working with Tasha. From the very first meeting, I was impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. She guided me through each step, ensuring I understood the process and my options.

Her attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best outcome were exceptional. Tasha was always responsive and approachable, making a stressful situation far more manageable. I would highly recommend Tasha to anyone seeking reliable and expert legal support. Truly a first-class service!

The distribution of our mother's Estate.

My sister,brother in law, my husband and myself first met Amira Abdu in January2024 to begin the process of carrying out my late mother's will and finalising her affairs. Over the year we have been able to speak to Amira by appointment face to face or by email whenever we needed too. We have been guided through each step and informed of progress. When we have had a query we have been able to ask. Amira has been understanding and efficient.

Incredible service

Tony and Donna have been truly incredible, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
They’ve been brilliantly supportive with guiding me through every step of the sale of my parents' property. Their knowledge of the complexities involved was truly impressive, and they made what could have been a very stressful process, so much easier.

They kept me well-informed throughout, were always available to answer my questions, and ensured everything went smoothly. A fantastic service from start to finish. Thank you!

Also, the fact that I could easily park outside your offices to drop off documents was the icing on the cake.

Genuine support through a business sale

Neil and the team in the run up to sale, during the DD and afterwards were great and hugely supportive. I really felt like they were on our side and not treating us just like a paying client. At the final stages of earnout Neil again gave wise counsel and honest appraisal of the situation and how to move forward. Always on hand to discuss and responsive to all types of query. Thank you.

House sell and buy 2024.

Very thorough, both Tony and Donna, and their colleague who emailed me too, re admin.
Job was done Properly, and nice you could call into the Office, instead of endless scanning, printing.
Great to drop in and sign documents, and chat. I wouldn't do this process with on line solicitor's..

Excellent service from Woodbines Solicitors

We have been delighted with the service we have received from Woodfines solicitors in Bedford. Amy Matthews has dealt with the sale of our property and she has been excellent in all aspects of the transaction. She has been available to answer queries, given us a good advice and has a really good interpersonal approach. Although a not quite straightforward sale, it completed successfully with the minimum amount of fuss.

Thank you for a job really well done.

I've used Woodfines both personally, and in business. I'm not going to pretend they're cheap, but no firm of solicitors is. They are always thorough & supportive though, their advice is good, they act honourably, and I've always been happy with the specialists appointed to act on my behalf.
