Severance Agreement Review

It was easy to set up an account, which enabled the download of various documents and allowed me to provide instructions. Following this a meeting on the internet was quickly arranged, where my case was reviewed and various actions agreed. The solicitor contacted my employer and successfully argued the case for me to receive a better settlement.

Lease extension. In hindsight should have gone formal route as free holder went back on agreed value and delayed progress so went below 80 years. Bonnie did very well to deal with this tricky freeholder.

Objection to flue on current property

I had a very brief discussion with Adrian about a long outstanding matter regarding a flue which was erected without committee permission.
His advice has been very solid and I now have a clear understanding of the issue
As it is slightly complex, it is best that personally I do nothing until the point of selling the property.

Excellent Service from the Outset

I initially sought out legal advice to support my disabled daughters divorce. The initial advice given was clear and concise which enabled us to proceed knowing what was ahead of us. The follow on support during the often difficult time for my daughter was excellent and gave my daughter a lot of confidence during what was a very troublesome and emotional time for her.

Crane and Staples are truly amazing. Chris Brewis and Tracey Fenner in particular have worked so hard and efficiently with the sale of my mother's property. All the way through the process they have kept me informed on the progress and what information I had to submit. Any unexpected hurdles along the way (there are always a few) were dealt with speedily and with advice that was superlative.
An absolute first class service. Thank you so much.

Chris Brewis assisted by Tracey Fenner and Jessica Dance provided an excellent service on our probate house sale. I found them to be very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We wanted to exchange quickly and Chris and the team worked diligently and met our target date. The web portal for completing the forms and uploading documents is very convenient. You don't have to use it, but I thought it worked well and saved a lot of faffing around. Happy to recommend.
