A very good service overall when we recently updated our wills. Quick appointment. Clear advice. Our wills were kept simple and easy to understand. All interactions with the firm were very pleasant and courteous. A reasonable price too.

Staying the course.

I felt like David up against Goliath in my employment dispute. In my search for legal opinion I came across Tim Grainger as having some specialist knowledge that was relevant to me. My case was complicated and took a few years to grind through the legal process which was detailed and meticulous. I had the belief and confidence in my case because I had Tim Grainger behind me all the way - and with his counsel I was led through to a successful outcome. The outcome ended up changing the legal landscape on constructive unfair dismissal. It comes as no surprise to me that Tim Grainger is a marathon runner - he will always stay the course. What I have learnt is that being right only gets you 10% of the way there - the other 90% comes from the hard work in making the legal case against the big boy tactics of the corporate employer who perceive they have a reputation to protect above all else. I needed, and got, the solid professional legal backing to persevere and at a price which was very fair. Well done and thank-you to Tim Grainger and the support staff at Fiona Bruce Solicitors.

An exceptional solicitor!

I recently went through a difficult time after expecting losing my job. Tim was excellent from the start, his professionalism and ability to build relationships quickly immediately put me at ease during a very stressful time. He was realistic yet passionate to get the best solution for me.
I’d truly have been lost without him and I cannot recommend him enough.

Brilliant!

Rachael Latham & Team within the conveyancing department are brilliant, from start to finish.
I wouldn't go anywhere else for legal matters.

Will be returning to Fiona Bruce & Co, in due course for my partners sale and purchasing of our home together.

Thanks again for everything Rachael and Team (Lesley & Luke)

Thank you to Rachel Latham and her team for assisting us with sale of my mother’s house. Her team have been immensely helpful supportive and patient dealing with four of us - not an easy task all spread around the country!
We really appreciate everything she has done and it was a relatively smooth process! Thank you.

Amazing service and results from Rachael and her team. As a first time buyer (solo) I was unsure of a lot of things, but was guided and my interests were represented perfectly.

I was always kept up to date, and being a new process for myself, worried often, but even "pestering" or asking for information / help was never a problem.

I will always be a client here for any legal need if they provide it. My experience and trust in the people I dealt with was that great that I feel Rachael's peers in other specialities must also carry equivalent experience and knowledge.

Having used this practice before without hesitation we contacted them to act as conveyancer for the sale of our home. After accepting a written quotation our case was assigned to Rachael Latham who has been truly excellent.
All communication by email has been timely, in a consistent easy to understand format and any enquiries we have made have been dealt with promptly.
We have recently completed our sale and now that we have identified our next home, we contacted Fiona Bruce to act for us for our purchase. We were really pleased that our file has been passed to Rachael to deal with. In a very short time she has made speedy progress whilst maintaining great attention to detail coupled with the quality we had experienced previously.
I would totally recommend Fiona Bruce and if your task is assigned to Rachael to progress then you really are in safe hands.
