A wild ride from start to finish with the claimant being a compulsive liar
and not realising that you can’t leave assets to people in a will if you are not the owner.
A complex case of which the other side and their solicitors never really grasped the business
structure. Hayley Gaffney and Mel Grose were great throughout and were recommended by
Ed Coode himself. We came to a settlement at Mediation and although we may have done
what was best financially for all parties involved. I didn’t feel we had justice but the high
costs of a court case was not something we wanted to risk. All in all Coodes made the other
solicitors look like they were going backwards. Hayley & Mel were always quick to keep us
updated and reply. Correspondence from the claimants solicitors took that long you’d think
a snail was delivering it. I will make Coodes the first port of call when needing a solicitor in
the future and can fully recommend both Hayley Gaffney and Melanie Grose ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 30 January, 2025:
Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear that Hayley and Mel were able to provide you with excellent support throughout what was clearly a complex and challenging case. It’s great to know that their responsiveness and expertise made a difference, and we truly appreciate your kind words. While it’s understandable that you didn’t feel justice was fully served, we’re pleased that a settlement was reached in the most practical way. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re honored to be your first choice for legal services in the future.

Collected on:
Coodes provided an excellent service to help me sell my home. Kerry Tresidder was always very punctual, and worked hard to ensure that my home was sold when a strict timeframe was imposed upon the sale. Kerry also provided key advice and guidance that helped me to prioritise what I needed to do to prevent any delay to the sale process.
