I went to Nikki at Crs Law do probate work - and I'm very glad I did.

Nikki had completed a will for a relative in the past (and had dealt with him with real professionalism and dignity) but she had since moved on. After less than perfect dealings with her original practice I managed to track her down and arrange an appointment at CRS Law.
In a 60 minute meeting she has put our mind at rest as to how complex the estate would be. We engaged her and the whole thing was sorted out within 6 weeks!
No surprise that we'll be using CRS Law for all the conveyancing and legal dealings with the estate in the future!

Probate Application

Would highly recommend using Nikki and Chris Rudd Solicitors for all your probate needs. Nikki provided a best in class service dealing with my Probate Application and demonstrated a deep understanding of all Probate matters explaining this in a very clear and easy to understand format. Nikki's kindness and empathy for others during a difficult time in my life was flawless. Communication was on point and transparent throughout whilst demonstrating complete professionalism. Nikki is a huge asset to Chris Rudd Solicitors and would encourage anyone to speak to her regards all your Probate/Wills needs. Keep up with the fantastic work.

David Fothergill was very helpful in getting our tenancy claim sorted out and helped lay out our options that we had. Ended up helping us get a great settlement from the landlord and would recommend to anyone having similar issues with an unprotected deposit.

Kieren uses ChatGPT to write all their letters. You are better off asking ChatGPT for advise because that’s what they use. If you don’t believe me then copy and paste any of their letters into a AI checker it will tell you. They are incapable of writing simple letters

I cannot recommend Matthew and Chris Rudd Solicitors highly enough! From the moment I contacted them about my landlord's failure to protect my tenancy deposit, I felt completely supported and reassured. Matthew was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the law and explained the entire process to me in a clear and concise way, ensuring I understood every step. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and responded to my emails and calls promptly.
What really impressed me was Matthew's dedication to my case. He was meticulous in gathering all the necessary evidence and presented a strong argument on my behalf. He successfully negotiated a settlement that I am very happy with and I am now awaiting payment.
Throughout the entire process, Matthew was professional, empathetic, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. I felt confident that my case was in safe hands, and the successful result is a testament to his skill and commitment. If you're facing a similar situation with your landlord, don't hesitate to contact Matthew at Chris Rudd Solicitors. You won't regret it!

Chris Rudd Solicitors: The Northern Legal Powerhouse

I searched for solicitors specialising in Force of Sale Court orders and found Chris Rudd Solicitors. Initially sceptical, I called them, and they suggested a 'Huddle Call' for £150 for half an hour with a solicitor. At first, I thought it was a scam to get me to spend £150, but I was desperate. They encouraged me to send in a list of questions I wanted to cover before the call.

Matthew Scanlon, one of the partners, called me at the scheduled time. Halfway through the call, I decided to stop it because he was so experienced and knowledgeable about my predicament and the solution. I decided to instruct them there and then, putting £1,000 on the account.

I had a sibling who refused to cooperate with the sale of our inherited house, and I desperately needed to access my half of the property due to financial difficulties. Chris Rudd Solicitors knew exactly what to do. They were so effective that after they sent the initial contact and agreement letters to my sibling, he started cooperating and emailed his acceptance to the solicitors. Now, everything is moving along nicely.

I can't express how much relief from stress and resentment this has brought me. If you are in a similar position, I highly recommend contacting these solicitors.

Amazing service from Chris. I needed help dealing with a commercial lease that Chris helped with and made me understand the wording of it and we all know contracts can be wordy and have words in there that we don't always understand.

I thought the process with Chris was very smooth and couldn't recommend him enough to anyone looking for legal assistance/guidance.

Professional and very knowledgeable
