Professional expertise with the human touch

Right from the start we found Wolferstans staff very welcoming. The advice received greatly eased the form filing process and boosted our confidence in the whole application process for registering the LPAs. From the simple offer of 2 coffees to the helpful witnessing of attorneys' signatures, the human touch was very much in evidence and highly valued.

Pleasantly surprised

My transfer of equity service was carried out effectively & with minimal hassle. Wolferstans staff were always willing to be helpful with any queries I had, & sorted out any hiccups when they arose, in a timely manner. The whole process did seem to take a very long time (6 months) & I did have to chase things up on occasion, but that could’ve been down to my particular situation. What pleased me the most, was they stuck to the amount they quoted me for the service, with no hidden extras, even considering the amount of time it took.

Professional and Caring

James Snell and his team guided my family and I through a clinical negligence claim following the death of my wife in 2022.
Throughout the process, which was extremely hard to do, the team at Wolferstans constantly kept us informed and helped us at each stage. The advice was always clear and concise. Because of the complexity of the claim, it has taken a long time to reach a conclusion, but, after 3 long years we can now say we have managed to get a resolution for my wife who will always be missed.
Our thanks go out to James, Keeanna Gosling and the team for being so patient and caring.

My dealings with Gareth White

I couldn't speak more highly of Gareth. Not only was he clear and concise with his advice, he was friendly, understanding and above all pro-active. Gareth would keep in contact with me, whereas my experiences of other solicitors tend to say that I would have to do the chasing for updates. Highly recommended.

House Move Purchase & Sale

Brilliant service from Chloe and the team, in a busy period for all house movers, regards the recent increase in stamp duty the team ensured that we completed prior to this date, saving us thousands. We felt their main priority throughout and questions were answered, with actions completed ASAP.

Would recommend for a personal approach.

A great service received

A great service overall, app is easy to use in terms of uploading information and documents which negated the requirement to post documents or drop them into the office until exchange.

The team worked hard to ensure our purchase and sale were completed ahead of the deadline of changes to stamp duty and were professional and knowledgeable throughout.

Always in good hands

I have had the pleasure of working with Tishka Chapman and her team on a couple of occasions now and have never been let down. They are super prompt, very thorough and diligent, approachable as well as very knowledgeable. On a couple of occasions they have truly gone beyond their remit in order to assist me in completing the transaction. Highly recommend!

An improvement opportunity would be the app (completely outside of Tishka's control), which I do not find user friendly nor efficient, having to manually download each document and emailing it to yourself. To make matters worse, each document is by default titled "in case" when downloaded so you then have to also rename them manually

I highly recommend this firm. Very professional, friendly and communicated extremely well, using no 'legalise'. Linda Woollams helped me through the entire process and she is so good at her job it's obvious she has more knowledge than most other solicitors appear to know.
