I recently sold and purchased a property and was lucky enough to have James Ray assigned to my file. James was calm, meticulous and thorough. Always available to talk and supportive of the added stress that my sale and purchase were the result of a divorce. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thank you James.

Russell Ali is the best probate solicitor- highly recommended! There was so much paperwork following the death of my husband and we just didn’t know what to do. But Russell took care of everything and we were able to focus on our family during such a difficult time. He was always easy to contact and kept us up to date, and helped us to understand the whole process of sorting out my husband’s estate. He went above and beyond to help us and we are so grateful. Thank you for all your help 🙏
A representative from Judge And Priestley Llp responded to this review on 18 January, 2024:

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mr Russell Ali of Judge and Priestley who we saw in the Sidcup office. We wanted to update our wills and from the first appointment, we found him professional, very knowledgeable and yet friendly, easy to talk to and very understanding of our needs. He listened carefully to what we wanted but because of our circumstances, suggested a Trust Will which he thought would be more beneficial and may save our family concerns in years to come. For that suggestion alone, we will always be very grateful to him.. Thank you Russell for all your help, advice and for decoding the complexities of legal jargon!

James was so meticulous and fast with everything when buying my house. I was let down by my solicitors at the last stage when I was about to exchange. James for Judge & Priestley came in and managed to redo everything in time to stick to my completion date which was a couple weeks away.

From employment law, UK probate, several property conveyances, to assistance with foreign probate and identification proof, they have never let me down.
Very professional and not too expensive.

My will was dealt with in a very professional , courteous and friendly manner by Hannah Kirkpatrick and exceeded my expectations.
Above all it’s the peace of mind I feel.
More than happy to recommend to others.

My family appointed Judge and Priestley to deal with the administration of my late mother’s estate. Our case was dealt with specifically by solicitor Hannah Kirkpatrick and was first-rate in every sense. Every query was dealt with promptly and with compassion – and we could not have wished for better advice and service. Highly recommended.
