Extremely attentive. Patient. Thorough. Professional

I was Harassed and Bullied at work. Vina paid attention to every detail, making a conscious effort to understand all aspects of my case. This was inherent in her approach at every stage. Vina was thorough with all witness statements and evidence. Leading to a satisfactory outcome for me. Vina is not just a very good solicitor but a good person.
I would highly recommend Vina for any Employment Legal Representation.

Excellent Customer Service!

My Solicitor Vina , was really lovely and friendly with excellent knowledge of the subject my enquiry was based upon.
She followed up our personal meeting with a very detailed and comprehensive email for me to refer to going forward.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and if I need to in the future I will certainly request that she is the person to help me again.
I would just like to say a personal thank you for all her help

Excellent service

Highly recommended Watson Ramsbottom Solicitors. I used them recently as a matter of urgency and they really helped. Kalya made me feel at ease that she would help get the outcome I needed and she did. Everything was explained to me and I felt comfortable talking to them. I would definitely use again if the need arose.

Completely useless!

As a first time buyer we were hoping for our solicitors to take a lot of pressure off our shoulders - this was quite the opposite. Karen Green was in control of our file and she needed prompting at every point throughout the purchase. Even the very basic things she couldn't get right. It eventually got to the point where she would pretend to not be in her office through her personal secretary to avoid speaking to use. I wouldn't recommend them at all as they are useless.

Friendly and professional

This review is for a different branch.

The solicitors here at Watson and Ramsbottom have been helping me deal with my case now for almost 2 years. During this time they have been super understanding to my situation, professional and firm whilst being very friendly and efficient. I can not recommend April Stephenson and her team highly enough.
Thank you for all your help and hardwork.
