As we started searching for houses, I asked around for a good covenyance solicitor. Mr James Ray was recommended by one of colleagues who I trust very well. James was very professional and amicable. He took actions based on our request promptly. My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed working with him. Please be assured when you go through this house buying journey, James will take care of it. I highly recommend him to anyone.

We bought our bungalow through Brooke at Judge and Priestley. She offered a very professional service for what was a very tricky sale - always kept in touch, followed everything through and made sure the sale completed as smoothly as possible. Both herself and her assistant Hyaah were always contactable and we never had trouble with getting hold of someone. Excellent service!

I was recommended to use James Ray for conveyancing by my son when my sister and I were selling our mother's house and we were both impressed with the efficient manner in which the process was handled and completed, even though there were several hiccups along the way.

I would like to extend my personal gratitude and thanks to James Ray for his exceptional professional conduct and conveyancing expertise.
James was always available to discuss my individual, and at times difficult, personal needs and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to my family and friends.
All in all 10/10 experience and I cannot think of anything more James could have done to improve the service I received.
Many thanks, Kam

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:
Dear Sanaa, Thank you for taking the time to leave your 5* review and detailed comments. We are thrilled that you have been satisfied with the level of service you have received and we look forward to working with you again in the near future.

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!

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.
