Pleasantly Surprised
Needing a solicitor is never an ideal situation, but when I requested the duty solicitor, I was fortunate to be represented by Joshua.
Despite having to go out of his way to assist me, Joshua arrived promptly and immediately demonstrated his expertise. He was clear, concise, and provided straightforward guidance on the best course of action. His advice put me at ease, and he accurately predicted the outcome with complete confidence.
Having worked with multiple solicitors throughout my life, I can confidently say that Joshua has been the best. His professionalism, direct approach, and extensive knowledge have been invaluable to me. While I hope I won’t need legal representation again, if I do, Joshua will be my first call.
Many thanks again Joshua.
A representative from C W Booth & Co responded to this review on 07 March, 2025:

I am an estate agent and was involved in what should have been a straightforward purchase by a first time buyer, buying an empty property. C W Booth were acting for the sellers and the property was empty. In turned out to be a tad more complicated due to a notice place on the property. Also the buyers solicitors were seriously dreadful (personally I would avoid Claire at Michael Cook at all costs). Thankfully we got fantastic comms from Robert Willoughby and those comms helped in exposing the buyers sols for telling untruths/being inept. So thank you Robert (and Louisa) for providing updates on a regular basis and helping get the transaction finally over the line.
