Great firm to deal with

I came to Goody Burrett to help with an aspect of my divorce. I needed help with a specific part of the process and not the entire thing. Having spoken with one or two firms Susan was the only one who appeared to understand exactly what it was I needed. She answered a number of questions (without charge) over a few months until I was ready to proceed.

Once I was ready to proceed Helen was extremely quick and diligent in coming back to me. We swiftly and efficiently navigated the process seamlessly and I was very impressed with the ease at which everything went through. I cannot recommend Sue or the firm enough and would encourage anyone in a similar position to do the same.

Thank you for all your help at what could have been a difficult time.

The BEST

Goody Burrett are by far the best solicitors I've ever used.
They are so professional in everything they do, all done in a very timely manner.
I was kept up to date, never once had to chase for information and I never experienced a moment of stress the whole way through.
Can't rate them high enough, would give 10* if available.
Would not hesitate to recommend or use them again.
