Support with employment issue

I recently required a solicitor to help with an employment issue. I approached Couchman Hanson Limited and Michelle Scott was quickly assigned to my case. Michelle listened to my description of the case and provided very clear advice on how best to handle it. Throughout my dealings with Michelle, she was always quick to reply to my queries and was always very supportive and friendly. With Michelle's help we were able to complete my case within a couple of weeks and I was very happy with the outcome. This was my first dealing with Couchman Hanson Limited and I would certainly recommend them.

The team that handled our conveyancing did a great job, even if we did have some difficulties along the way with our vendors. Always helpful, returned calls quickly and gave good suggestions on how to manage the sale - well done

We found Couchman Hanson very satisfactory to deal with

We found Couchman Hanson very satisfactory to deal with. They dealt with our new joint wills and a complete set of new LPAs. We were very impressed by Jayanthie in the Crowthorne branch. She was sympathetic and easy to deal with. Couchman Hanson were always upfront and honest with cost and fee details. We would heartily recommend Couchman Hanson Solicitors.

Extremely helpful staff. Went out of their way to help me after my solicitors had given me the wrong forms. They were only supposed to be witnessing a declaration. Definitely use them in the future and recommend them to my friends.

Shanthi acted for my family, in dealing with the estate of my late father. We found Shanthi and her staff very friendly, helpful and professional. They were very efficient and took far less time than we expected, to finalise everything, even though the Covid-19 situation required them to do some of the work from home. We found their charges very reasonable too.
We have no hestation in recommending Rosemary Smith Solicitors and we will certainly use their services again should the need arise.
