Dorcas and Chloe answered emails quickly and made the process very smooth. (Being human and not robots, there was the odd moment of forgetting... but quickly sorted.)

Thank you , great service and super helpful

This was a property related transaction. Very happy with quality of advice. One thing could be a little better - keeping me posted on progress a little more proactively but still happy to rate 5 star!

Excellent service

I would like to thank Willans solicitors for the professional support they gave my wife and I during a difficult two years that it took to get justice that finally prevailed and we can now move on. I would especially like to thank Evie Claridge for her commitment to the case and everyone else who was involved in the case.
I would highly recommend Willans solicitors to anyone who is looking for a professional lawyer who gets the job done and doesn’t waiver from getting what is needed for their client.

Brilliant service.

Willans Solicitors have been fantastic throughout during our case that has lasted for over 2 years. I would especially like to thank Evie Claridge for representing us through this but also everyone else who has contributed to the case and make sure that we came away with a vast amount of money that will make my wife’s life so much easier.
I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone wanting a professional service throughout the whole process.

I used Katie Charlton to assist with the eviction of a tenant who would not leave. Katie was professional throughout and managed to the necessary court orders arranged, leading to the tenant finally leaving.

I found my experience with Willans to be very professional right from the outset. They explained everything clearly to me at the beginning and kept me updated throughout the process ensuring that I understood everything. I had Simon Arneaud acting for me. He is a senior Solicitor who had a calm manner and very in depth knowledge of legal matters. In my matter I found that his years of experience in this field definitely shone through.
