Absolutely tremendous

Whenever you tell someone you’re buying/selling a house, you immediately get a long list of solicitor based horror stories, so was dreading this process.

I was only selling my share of my property to my ex husband, so was a cheap fix fee job. Joanne was wonderful from start to finish, on top of everything, never had to nag her. Sadly my exes solicitor wasn’t as good, but Joanne kept on at them to make sure things were done on time. I’m more than sure this wasn’t her most important case at the time or most profitable, but she treated me like it was.

I’m now in the position where I’m buying a new home and had zero hesitation with using Joanne again. Will recommend her to everyone.

Excellent solicitors

I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Keogh and Emily May at Sternberg Reed LLP, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. Joanne's attention to detail was second to none—she handled every aspect of my case with precision and care, ensuring nothing was overlooked. What impressed me the most was how quickly she moved things along without ever compromising on the quality of her work.

Her communication was outstanding throughout the process. Joanne kept me informed at every stage, explaining everything clearly and making sure I felt supported and confident in each decision. If you're looking for someone who is both efficient and dedicated, Joanne is the person to trust. I highly recommend her for anyone needing legal assistance—her professionalism and commitment truly set her apart.

Sale of House - made EASY by Joanne and Team

Amazing Service from start to finish.
From Day 1 all was explained and followed through and completed when advised.
The Estate Agent said they would deal with Joanne all the time if it was possible.
Compassionate, caring team - after a bereavement. Also super helpful. We have used them 3 times this year for property sales/purchases.

Fantastic Service

We were really impressed by the professionalism, value and communication of Joanne and her team at Sternberg Reed during the sale of our property. We did not hesitate in asking Joanne to assist with the purchase of over very next property a few months later. This is exactly the type of service you would hope for during the purchase/sale of a property.

Fantastic!

Could not recommend Joanne and her team enough. Joanne made everything so easy from start to finish always available to speak to and made buying my first home as stress free as possible.
I have recommended her to everyone I know and I know they will experience the same first class service that I did.

I used Sternberg Reed for conveyancing - I had a difficult experience working with the seller and the sellers solicitor, their communication was poor and I encountered numerous issues.

Raj Sharma and Vicki were a pleasure to work with. Raj gave us expert advice and helped us secure our purchase.
Thank you to Raj and Team!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Richard Cooper since 2014 in a complex case. Richard was professional throughout and represented me exceptionally well from day one. I would not hesitate to use his services again if required and cannot recommend him or Sternberg Reed enough.

Richard Cooper the assigned solicitor for my partner’s case, got us a better outcome than we’d endeavoured. Although the case was finalised, I had a lot of questions
following this, which Mr Cooper was always at hand to answer

He’s been immensely supportive and professional, he never once made me feel that I’m bothering him. He works transparently with no sugar on top
