Never knew solicitors this good existed!

This review is for a different branch.

It’s actually hard to find the right words to describe our experience with Suzanne Bowman at Thomson Snell & Passmore because the words won’t do her accurate justice; she really is that amazing.

Her knowledge base is unlike anything we’ve seen before when it comes to property law and the ‘maze’ that is attached to listed properties. Her attention to detail, commitment to push through and support us first and foremost, to ensure the very best outcome was possible, never went unnoticed.

She has an incredible level of patience for the most tricky of situations whilst maintaining unwavering professionalism throughout.

We would have been lost without her! It’s just that simple. She really is brilliant.

Divorce Finances with EASE!!

This review is for a different branch.

Cannot fault the advice and hard work Harry offered during the solving of divorce financial settlement and drafting the Consent Order.
I had spent years going through legal trauma trying to solve complex (but turns out, very
simple) matters, but always thwarted with a very 'tricky' ex partner. Having decided to change Solicitor Company I found Harry and what a gem find he was. He had dealt with a few ex partners like mine and said it called for a new approach.
Problem solved and within weeks the matter was concluded in simple terms and passed by the Family Court all within 3.5 months. The actual completion of the agreement took a further 3 months, but the end result was that I was free'd from years and years of trauma and ludicrous expense and experience and battles conducted elsewhere, including FDA court, seemingly completely needlessly!
Cannot recommend Harry Golding enough and I have pointed several people his way.
Fabulous and huge gratitude, my life has changed so much due to his approach and the final outcome.

Exceptional Support and Expertise in Complex Probate Matters

This review is for a different branch.

Sarah Crane is nothing short of exceptional. My case was highly complex, having been mishandled by previous solicitors who left it stagnant for over a year. I felt utterly hopeless until Sarah stepped in. From the very beginning, she exuded confidence, warmth, and a genuine desire to help.

Sarah’s ability to break down complicated legal issues into clear, understandable steps immediately put me at ease. Her deep knowledge and proactive approach made me believe that my case, which had seemed impossible to resolve, could actually move forward. She worked tirelessly, demonstrating incredible determination, attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving the best outcome.

What truly sets Sarah Crane apart are her personal qualities. She is empathetic, approachable, and supportive, which made me feel understood and cared for during such a stressful time. Thanks to her hard work, she saved me from losing my home after the father of my minor son passed away and secured some inheritance for my son’s future. This is life-changing for us, and I am forever grateful.

If you are facing complex legal issues, especially involving probate or estates with foreign elements, Sarah Crane is the person you need on your side. She is efficient, proactive, and truly cares about achieving the best outcome for her clients.

Thank you, Sarah, for everything you have done!

Neha was an extremely attentive lawyer for both my Will and Will Trusts. Rapidly responded to all stages of each process.
She was 5 star but I dropped a star for the billings system which were sent by email on the tiniest font. This for the over 80s was my only negative.

We wanted to transfer ownership of a holiday house to our three children, but only had five weeks to do it if we wished to 'beat the Budget date' of 30th October. Rebecca Swain did a great job for us in bringing the project in within the deadline (with five days to spare). Professional, organised, unflustered.

Grace Baker was my solicitor who manage the conveyancing of the sale of my London flat. I had dealt with this company before but my previous contact had retired and I was allocated Grace Baker. Grace helped guide me through the sale of my flat with advice and actions superbly well. She also assisted in a lease extension for freehold and lease hold with the aid of Jenny Offord at the same time.The process was managed efficiently with guidance progressing quickly and effectively,even liaising with me when I was abroad. This experience was so professional that I would highly recommend her.

Thomson Snell & Passmore were recommended to us by our estate agent and we used their services for selling and buying. Cannot faul the service we received. Their customer service is 5 star and if other companies could take notes from them, life would be a lot easier everywhere. We would recommend Thomson Snell & Passmore and would definitely have them top of the list if we ever move house again.
