We have used C&W for three different legal matters over the last eighteen months.
Their advice and legal expertise has been second to none.
We would recommend C & W unreservedly.

1st Class

From the very outset, David displayed a plethora of knowledge in relation to the whole process. In addition, he demonstrated an acute understanding of my exact requirements. Throughout the process, which at times was testing, due to the other party: he always placed my needs were the most important. His knowledge, experience, determination and compassion ensured that I was and remained the number one priority and all my objectives were satisfied.

employment with DWP

I thought Mr MacWilliam was knowledgeable and understanding, however I am furious with the DWP, as when sent home following the virus, they expected me to work from home for an AO salary when I had the HEO qualification and been employed over 13 years with no opportunities to be promoted.

Grahame provided me with his expertise and advice surrounding my grandmothers’ will. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and advised me on a sensible course of action without spending unnecessary money. I trust Grahames’ advice 100% and would certainly recommend.

When i started with Clough and Willis i felt quite low about my case. They raised me up from the initial meeting. My case was complicated and the other-side made it difficult. Throughout this time they continually communicated and offered support. When it cane to court they fought really hard for me and for that i cant thank them enough.

Horrendous! me and my sister felt like we was on trial and not welcomed at all. We was going through a traumatic experience and unknown territory and was felt like we had done something wrong. (we was just defending our fathers estate from a greedy ex). We were basically told she would win. No reassurance at all, no kindness. THIS COMPANY IS ONLY AFTER MONEY!! Do not go near if your looking for advice or help.

Lacking integrity. Contacted them in confidence regarding a deceased family members’ estate that is being dealt with by them and let’s say it didn’t stay confidential at all.
