Our thanks

Our parish council previously had a solicitor who took an interminable time to do anything. During the last two years, Nick Woodward has been the opposite; prompt replies and service, allied with clear advice, has been a breath of fresh air, and has enabled our council to efficiently conduct its' business to completion in every regard.

Professional Advice

I had to auction a neighbour's house as they were going into a care home. I had never done this before. I was recommended Frank Smith in Cheltenham. I dealt with a Robert Davies-Boulton. I have to say he was excellent and steered me through the whole process, without me feeling !! It was much more painless then I imagined. We all know Solicitors are costly but I was grateful that the cost wasn't horrendous. So I would highly recommend this firm.

We used Nora to firstly, sell a house and then also to buy one in separate transactions. Nora kept us continuously up-to-date with everything that happened, and all developments were relayed straight back to us. She was always available and contactable and her friendly 'can-do' attitude was really refreshing and definitely helped the process move along smoothly. We would definitely use Frank Smith Solicitors again and recommend Nora to others. Simon & Ali D

Nora Ibrahim provided an excellent service throughout the house sale process. Her availability and communication in person, by phone or via email was first class. Her advice and guidance throughout the transaction was impressive and reassuring. Nora has a warm and friendly approach and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Nora's professional skills, abilities and personal qualities were a credit to the practice and provided a five star service.

I instructed Frank Smith & Co on the sale and purchase of our house. Having worked with Nora previously, I knew that her attention to detail and professionalism would ensure that the process would be as smooth as possible. I was not disappointed.

Thank you so much Nora and Frank Smith & Co, and look forward to working with you again!
