Fantastic service

Great service. I can’t thank Heather Broadfield enough for all her support. She made everything so easy, and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Highly recommend

Poor service

Think twice before using this solicitors if you don't agree with them they will threaten you with legal action if you post a review on these web sites. So hear it is. In my opinion this solicitor is interested in your money more than your case and does not like to be challenged. The solicitor concerned made coments then dinied it when a complaint was made. This is a review based on the experience of a family member and events witnessed by me. I fully stand by my comments.

Would have given them less than a 1 star but couldn’t.

I sought advise only over 8 months ago and got a bill for almost £300 which I paid. I never once instructed the solicitor to move ahead and I find myself 8 months down the line being informed that a new solicitor has taken over my case and is asking for a further £220 plus Vat! Avoid at all costs this firm rips you off.
