Would highly recommend Clough and Willis

I have used Clough and Willis for both conveyancing, probate and personal services and have always found each solicitor that I have dealt with, to be professional, efficient, available and friendly. I would have no hesitation to recommend Clough and Willis to anyone that asks and have suggested their services to multiple friends and family. Thank you

First Class Conveyancing

First class service at every stage of the sale / conveyancing process from Darren Rich, John Parker and Stephanie Rogerson. Darren dealt with our sale seamlessly, proactively chasing our buyer's solicitor to move the process along. We can't recommend Clough & Willis highly enough.
Genuine, professional people who went above and beyond our expectations and kept us informed throughout.

Help with an Employment Settlement Agreement

This sensitive situation required a fairly quick turnaround, which Clough & Willis understood immediately. From the first person who took my query to the excellent Subject Matter Expert (Senior Solicitor) who dealt with my agreement, I was looked after and kept informed throughout ensuring my tight deadline was met. I am now looking forward to a more slower paced lifestyle for a while!!

I never felt that the process of the sale was encountering issues out of my control. The communication from Caroline and Sarah Finbow was first class.

Really disappointing. Used Lee Marston. Found sole objective to be boosting fee income rather than having any interest in doing a good job. Will say anything to keep a case going rather than attempting to resolve anything.

Just found out I've been blamed for these guys sitting on questions for over a month before sending them through to me. Very dishonest to be blaming the vendor for their own slow actions
