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)

2024 Update on years of service Changing home after 35 years

My late wife and I have used Fionabruce for many years because of their excellent ethos which they put into practise and how comfortable we found them to work with. Indeed when I went into Fionabruce to sort out my wife's estate I took in a couple of my relatives to support me and they were so impressed that they used the company themselves. (The relatives live 150 miles from Warrington.)
Moving on to the latest order of business which is buying and selling houses in order to downsize and move to be nearer family. The new house is now registered in my name. Buying and selling property introduced me to different members of the firm who made sure that any delays in the process was not down to to me. They also made me well aware of and guided me to solutions for potential future problems.
Fionabruce have been a great help in difficylt times.

A superb Employment Law service

An exemplary service from a firm whose professionalism extends beyond knowledge and advice to an understanding of my needs. Tim has been first class in his handling of what has been a stressful and difficult time for me with my previous employers. The matter was dealt with swiftly and reached a successful outcome within a fee weeks. Highly recommended to all.

Neighbour dispute and Will service

I have now used Fiona Bruce Solicitors twice this year.
I am very impressed with their service. Communication is spot on and timescales. The advice I was given was excellent in both Will and Neighbour Dispute. I found Fiona Bruce Solicitors initially on the Law Society and for neighbour disputes their weren't many local that can deal with this matter and because I was impressed how they handled my neighbour dispute I returned for them to sort my husband and my Wills. I would certainly use Fiona Bruce in the future. I have complete confidence in them.

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.
