I am very satisfied with the way Clare handed the registration of my property, and would certainly use SW Law again.

Piri and Lauren were very welcoming. We both felt at ease and they explained the process of updating our Wills.
Although we have Wills in place they were over 20 years old and thought they could do with an update. Piri also gave us advice on information we were not aware of which was very useful.
A representative from SW Law Limited responded to this review on 24 June, 2024:
Dear Emma, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent experience with Piri and Lauren. We are pleased to hear that they provided you with a welcoming environment and clear explanations throughout the process of updating your Wills. At our firm, we understand the importance of keeping your legal affairs current, and we are glad that Piri could offer useful advice on aspects you were not previously aware of. Your satisfaction and confidence in our services mean a great deal to us.

A retired solicitor myself I have used Mr Cowsill and his practice for a variety of legal work for over 30 years including one heavy High Court case which was brought to a successful conclusion. I never cease to be amazed by the breadth and depth of his legal knowledge. In addition to using him myself I also regularly recommend his practice to friends. He is well supported by a pleasant and attentive staff.

Thank you Tony! I look forward to the next discussion/matter/assistance.
