Outstanding and passionate

I had the pleasure of having assistance from a lovely young lady by the name of Sajeda. Throughout all the time I needed her, she was always there, helpful, empathetic but honest when it really mattered. This was very important to me as it helped to show me what was likely to happen and how to act accordingly. I would like to say thank you to Sajeda for all her hard work and to all the team at Fieldings Porter and wish them all the best .

An unwanted divorce is always a sad and difficult thing but Donna Leigh was excellent in providing clear, succinct advice and ensuring a reasonable final outcome.

Personal injury

I contacted Fielding Porter regarding a personal injury claim. I was set up with a solicitor who rang me and gave me information on how the case would work and a bit of context for personal injury claims.
Deborah kept me in the loop and always replied quickly to my emails, making me feel like I was in good hands.
She was kind and helpful, fighting for my corner in every way and did not stop until liability was accepted. After almost two years, the claim finally came to an end, leaving me with justice for an injury which wasn't my fault.

Minnie Street conveyancing

I have nothing but praise for the conveyancing completed on one of my properties my Fieldings Porter. I have bought and sold many houses over the years with mixed experiences in this matter. I would highly recommend Fieldings Porter to anyone selling or purchasing a property.
The solicitor I dealt wit was William Lomax, I feel it only fair to give credit where it is due.

Thank you

Very accommodating , ie set up a zoom meeting with family member who could not attend meeting in person. She is confident in her ability and respectful to her clients and staff.
She is honest & has passion to do what correct. She dealt with advising us regarding an unpleasant family matter that involved a trustee of a will. The outcome for me was I gained strength in dealing with this unpleasant matter & got a satisfactory conclusion.

Dangerous solicitor and firm. Did the bare minium of legal aid work and selected an entirely bad barristers chambers with 3 people completely unorganized. Peter Cunliffe genuinely made things worse during this time.
