Keep well away nothing but stress
This review is for a different branch.
This solicitors had made the situation 100% more stressful than it need to be at the start they tried to cancel an appointment 10 before it was about to start the lack of communication was shocking that's if you can actually getting contact with your solicitor as they don't return calls when they say they will and they are still after money even though i was told that all the money has been paid i would only if you love stress

I cannot recommend Alison Kinnersley highly enough. She was under pressure to complete in a very short time. Our purchase was particularly complex and Alison handled it with ease. She was professional and patient throughout even when stress levels rose due to time constraints. We would definitely use her services again without hesitation.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL SERVICE
This review is for a different branch.
Where do I start !!!!! Belinda Harvey and Kamila Cyran have been absolutely AMAZING in helping me deal with the estate of a loved one after their passing. At what is already a particularly traumatic and painful time, without the right support and specialist advice you literally are entering a minefield blind.
I cannot thank either of of them enough for their professionalism, diligence, honesty, support, professional knowledge and caring nature in making sure that the decisions and actions taken were in the best interests of the estate.
If you are thinking of making a will or are in the unfortunate position having lost a a loved one and require professional support and guidance, I cannot recommend this firm and in particular Belinda and Kamila more highly.
THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH I hope Parfitt Cresswell know what an asset you both are to the their team.

Family law - Domestic Abuse
This review is for a different branch.
I have been a client of Sharon Micuta for around 16 months now - Sharon came highly recommended by members of the Berkshire social care domestic abuse program because of her understanding of family law. From our first interaction; Sharon was professional, proactive and very knowledgeable - she knew the importance of putting in place protective orders for my daughters and I at a time when I was daunted and overwhelmed. Her advice and genuine care was crucial to me at this enormously difficult time.
Since then, Sharon has worked tirelessly to support me in navigating a very complicated case - providing consistent and reliable counsel that has delivered the best possible outcome for my daughters and I.
At each stage, Sharon was responsive, thorough and reassuring - I could be confident that my case was in great hands with the Parfitt Cresswell team.

Jackie Turkel and her team recently handled the conveyancing of the sale of my mother's house.
I received a very high level of service: professional, but not without kindness and empathy. I have already recommended her services and would not hesitate to do so again.

I have been dealing with the property of someone who died intestate in April 2023. I engaged Parfitt Cresswell to deal with all aspects of the deceased person's estate, including the sale of the property. Parfitt Cresswell have been most efficient and supportive in every aspect of this sale which had some complicated aspects which needed skilled and professional management. They have been courteous and helpful throughout and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone requiring conveyancing.

I can highly recommend these solicitors. I had a difficult sale and purchase of a property. Jackie Turkel and Mary Carless dealt with the situation totally professionally and thoroughly. They were a pleasure to deal and communicated with me throughout the process. Jackie was always on hand and happy to answer any queries I had. A big thank you to Jackie, Mary and all the team at Parfitt Cresswell.
