Review for Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors

I am extremely grateful to have had the best advice, expertise and support from Heidi Shearman. The dedication to deliver exceptional legal services truly stands out. I appreciate the time that was taken to explain the legal process to me with a friendly approach and attention to detail was impressive. I had many questions and concerns and was always patiently and repeatedly put at ease by explaining what I did not understand. Excellent and thank you.

I have bought and sold a number of properties and always use Mandy and her team at Charles Coleman as my solicitors. Their efficiency and overall focus on delivering for clients is second to none and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property. A first class business.
