Wish I contacted Clarke & Son sooner ...

Excellent support and service received from Alex May after having been made redundant. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I'd liaised with him sooner given the peace of mind that followed. Thanks Alex.

Pleasure to deal with

Claire Redhead has been dealing with several family deaths over the past 10 years and is a pleasure to deal with. Always returns my calls or emails in a timely manner and in a friendly and compassionate manner.
Have also sold two properties using Clarke and son and they have always dealt with any issues on my behalf in a friendly, efficient manner.
Have no hesitation in recommending them.

Family Court Hearing

Needed advice on family court hearing I had up coming up from a difficult ex-partner who decided to take me to court after refusing to pick our child up from a 3rd party. Rang up and got a appointment within a few days, the receptionists are really nice and friendly here. I would highly recommend jennifer lee she helped me so much with advice and even suggesting a great barrister who has done amazing representing myself court. She is really understanding and patient and really goes out her way to help. I hope to hire her next year with the next installment in family courts hearing.

The team at Clarke & Sons are fantastic. We have worked very closely with Nigel Tranah on a number of transactions and he is fantastic. We always know we are getting sound advice, under pressure of deadlines he can absolutely perform and make what feels like miracles happen!

I can't recommend Nigel and the firm enough.
