Excellent service!

Needing the services of a legal firm specialising in transport disputes I found penman Sedgwick and really glad I did. From my first interaction with Liam, I was impressed at his level of empathy, knowledge and the speed all correspondence was dealt with. Through his professionalism alone, I’m able to put a very stressful situation behind me, for which I’m truly grateful.

Supportive, empathetic and honest!

Liam was attentive, patient and understanding. He listened and dealt with my case with an extremely professional yet human empathy- something that was lacking with other firms I reached out to. Liam was knowledgeable, efficient and I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone in need of his services. I was so anxious and worried about this case and feel so relieved that, with Liam’s support, I can put this ordeal behind me.

I recently used Penman Sedgwick solicitors for my property conveyancing, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from Abu Jahed, From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and attentive to every detail. They kept me informed at every stage of the process, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns promptly. The entire process was seamless, and they made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly straightforward. I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart. Highly recommend Abu Jahed for anyone in need of reliable and expert conveyancing services! 5 stars without a doubt!

I cannot recommend Abu Jahed highly enough. He worked tirelessly and professionally as our Conveyancer. His speed and attention to detail were second to none, as was his communication—whether by post or email—helping to ensure everything went smoothly. Penman Sedgwick has been our family’s solicitors for several generations and has always been incredibly helpful and supportive during challenging times.
