Outstanding service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anne Deller for my family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, it was clear that Anne genuinely cared about my situation and was committed to finding the best possible outcome for me and my son. I felt completely at ease and reassured to have Anne on my side at one or the most challenging and upsetting times of my life. We successfully achieved an outcome that several other solicitors felt would not be possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services in the future. Thank you very much for your five star service.

Achieving a positive outcome where others had doubts is a testament to her skill and perseverance. We really appreciate your recommendation and wish you all the very best for the future.

We used Clifton Ingram Solicitors to sell our house and to buy our next one.
We had the pleasure of working with Angus on a particularly tricky sale, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service, professionalism, and conduct displayed throughout the process. Despite the challenges, Angus handled everything with remarkable skill and kept things moving smoothly and in a timely manner. We truly couldn't have asked for more. I am extremely grateful for his support and highly recommend his services, and this firm. We will continue to use this firm in the future and recommend to family and friends- thank you!

Probate, Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney

We were recommended to Clifton Ingram when my brother died and chose the Reading Office. They dealt with inheritance tax, probate, his will and liaised with the Wokingham Office for the sale of his house. Following this we updated our wills and set up Lasting Powers of Attorney with the same solicitor who has now sadly left the firm. However we were quickly introduced to her colleague who seamlessly took over.

My flat went on sale twice through auction. Jo Clifford was great, she was clear, communicative and supportive. I felt unsecure with what was happening after my first auction fell through but Jo made me feel protected and safe. I am grateful for the service that was provided by the solicitor’s firm.

Jo was absolutely brilliant right from the get go. She is incredibly efficient and responsive and I really appreciated all her help getting everything ready in time for the auction of my flat in London. She made what could have been a very stressful time, as straightforward as painless as possible. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Trevor

I needed advice concerning a lease renewal for a commercial property but had been let down by 2 solicitors (no replies) before I found Clifton Ingram. They have been superb from the first introduction to the final signed lease. In less than 24 hours, Richard had replied to my email detailing the scope of work that would need to be undertaken and estimated costs. Since that first contact, Richard and Freya have been amazing. Thorough, knowledgeable and responsive with expert eyes for detail. Their advice has been excellent and even the commercial property's landlord said what a great solicitor I had! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clifton Ingram and will certainly be using them again if I need a solicitor in the future. The original estimate for costs was bang on as well, thank you to the whole team there!

In divorce mediation with my (now ex-) wife we had arrived at a tentative agreement and the mediator strongly advised us both to get legal advice on our proposed settlement. My new partner's divorce solicitors (Family First of Oxford) suggested Clifton Ingram and I took legal advice from Rashi Dawson at this company in a zoom session. I found Ms Dawson likeable and professional, and she helped me understand some of the issues I was unclear about. She followed up with a letter summarising our discussion and her advice.
I think the session was 2 hours and the price for the work was very reasonable (by the standards of lawyers' rates!).
I would recommend them.

Rashi Dawson was recommended to me when I was stuck in the midst of court proceedings. By the time Rashi consulted with me, I was already exhausted from the endless nonsense I had to deal with to settle with the other party. Rashi always guided me through my options, bearing time sensitivity in mind and protecting my mental health. She also always informed me of the incurred costs to make sure that I was comfortable and had financial control.

If you are going through family proceedings, such as divorce, I am sorry and strongly recommend reaching out to Rashi for advice. She isn't the cheapest professional out there, but it is worth it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and we appreciate your recommendation! We understand that navigating court proceedings, especially in family matters, can be an incredibly challenging and emotionally draining experience. We're glad that Rashi was able to provide you with guidance, taking into consideration the time sensitivity of your situation and prioritizing your mental well-being. It's important to us that our clients feel informed and in control, and we're pleased to hear that Rashi kept you updated on the costs associated with the proceedings. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your trust in Rashi and our services during what we understand to be a difficult time.
