Highly recommend

We were very impressed with Rise Legal’s professionalism in handling the purchase of our next home. We were well looked after and the whole process ran smoothly and efficiently. The logistics of moving is stressful enough and we most certainly felt in safe hands dealing with Sharon Garson and her team. Highly recommend this firm.

5 Star service

I was recommended to Rise Legal by my partner and so I contacted Sharon Garson to act for me to remortgage my property and to remove my ex-partner from the title deeds. It was an extremely stressful time for me because there was a declaration of trust and my ex had been very difficult throughout the process. I was unsure how much she would agree on as a final settlement or if I would need to sell the property to pay her off. Sharon was excellent and her no-nonsense approach to the solicitor acting for my ex-partner was fantastic. Sharon got the job done quickly and the final settlement was minimal enabling me to keep my property. If it wasn't for Sharon I'm sure the end result would have been very different. I would highly recommend Rise Legal to friends and family and I would definitely use them again. Thank you Sharon for all of your help in this matter. Steve

I contacted Jeremy Garson to introduce him to my client who was selling a house and purchasing another. My client was stress free and enjoyed the easy ride as Jeremy provided a smooth transaction.

Reliable, efficient and always honest

Unlike some solicitors we have come across, we found you to be reliable, efficient and always honest, and you have managed to ease some of our stress in the sale of this property. You have now acted for us twice, and in the first instance we we were buying the above, if it wasn't for your persistence then there would have been a good possibility that the purchase may have collapsed. We would have no hesitation in using you in the future.

Excellent service

Express my heartfelt thanks for all your help and advice regarding the legalities of negotiating a new lease for my second shop, recently opened, in Northwood. You and your team at the Pinner office, gave me and my staff, your quality time and consideration during a frustrating time for me, always returning my calls and emails and explaining my options in a clear and concise way for me to understand. The other Solicitor involved in this matter was not the most approachable, but you pursued him to the bitter end in order to finalise this matter on my behalf. I believe this is what makes a great Solicitor and is totally above your remit, this all adds up to an excellent service, one, which I will without doubt be recommending to anyone who needs legal advice in whatever field. I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Happy to recommend

I asked Jeremy Garson to provide his services for the conveyancing element of my daughter, Claire's, recent house purchase. I asked Jeremy to hold back until such time as the mortgage arrangements were in place and this left very little time to deal with the legal formalities for what turned out to be a speedy exchange and completion but with his expertise ensured that all the formalities were dealt with in good time and he kept us well informed all the way. On behalf of Claire, I would like to thank him and his staff for making what is often a traumatic experience, especially for a first time buyer, a relatively painless experience. Jeremy's renowned sense of humour and easy manor made the whole process a walk in the park. We would be more than happy to recommend Jeremy and his company.

Expert and professional assistance

I am writing to commend you for your assistance in my family's recent house purchase. There were a number a difficult issues thrown at us by the other side during the transaction. You were both available and supportive and your advice and assistance helped us to a satisfactory conclusion to the purchase.

Highly skilled service

Thank you for the way you handled the sale of my investment property recently. The purchaser used a cheap bucket shop Conveyancer who caused no end of problems due to their inexperience and lack of legal knowledge. Despite this, you overcame the difficulties and ensured that my rights were protected and organised a short completion period so that my timetable was achieved. I would warn anybody against using Conveyancing shops who I believe jeopardise their clients' rights and actually work out more expensive in the end. You charged me a fair price for which you provided a highly skilled service, worked to deadlines and protected my legal position. I just wanted to express my appreciation and say that I would highly recommend you to anyone who is buying or selling a property.

One can often have a misconception about what to expect from a legal practice, you could be forgiven for thinking you're just one of a number. However, I can hand on heart tell you that from the moment Sharon and the team took me on as a client, they helped me every step of the way. Professional, kind and friendly. I can highly recommend Rise Legal. They took the stress of moving house off my shoulders and made it so much easier to contend with.

I contacted Rise Legal as I was being blackmailed by a disreputable business who wanted to overcharge me 300% before they would release my property.

The police informed me it was a civil matter as I had no written proof of the original quote.

Jeremy Garson at Rise Legal was excellent, incredibly patient, giving great advice and his time to explain things very clearly and outline all my options. He even drafted an email for me to send to the business, which I received within hours, meaning I was able to act very swiftly.

That evening I was able to think clearly and remain calm and so the next day when I visited the disreputable business in question, to demand my property back, the end result meant that I was overcharged only 50%, which although still disgusting behaviour from the business, I was at least able to get my property back immediately, which was the most important thing.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Jeremy Garson and Rise Legal and will make him my first port of call for all legal matters.

Thank you very much.

Sharon at Rise dealt quickly and efficiently with a recent property sale and I would recommend Rise for conveyancing. At the same time as my sale, a family member was dealing with another firm of solicitors for a different property transaction, the service I received from Sharon was very substantially better.
