Nene Court Oadby Leicester LE2 4JF

I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your excellent service. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication throughout the process made everything smooth and stress-free.

Your expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I truly appreciate the way you handled the 19 Nene Court, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 4JF deal from start to finish. Completing everything on time and ensuring I got the keys as scheduled made both me and my family very happy. You kept me well-informed at every step, and your responsiveness made a big difference.

Thank you for your dedication and support. I would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of a reliable solicitor. I will also gladly recommend Douglas Wemyss Solicitors to my friends and network for any legal assistance they may need.

Najwspanialsza prawniczka pod słońcem.

Miałam dość kłopotliwy proces zakupu pierwszego domu. Pani Kasia to prawnik z powołaniem. Gdy pojawiły się problemy zawsze informowała i już miała gotowe scenariusze i rozwiązania. Nigdy nic nie obiecywała i nie koloryzowała ale też nie straszyła. Bardzo konkretna, niesamowicie profesjonalna i do tego przesympatyczna. Nigdy nie wyczułam złych emocji. Nigdy nie dała się wyprowadzić z równowagi a i mnie potrafiła uspokoić. Czułam że pracuje z prawdziwą profesjonalistką i ufałam i ufam jej w pełni. Polecam każdemu a w szczególności Polakom na wyspach. Dzięki Pani Kasi zawiły język prawniczy do tego w obcym języku był jak zwykła powieść. Dzięki niej mam swój wymarzony dom. Dzięki niej rozumiałam każdy etap i każdy problem. Jest już kilka miesięcy po procesie a z Panią Kasia nadal mam sporadyczny kontakt. To jest urocze kiedy ktoś kto wykonywał dla ciebie pracę nadal jest zainteresowany. To pokazuje też jak ważne dla niej są nasze procesy i nasze sprawy. Ja nigdy nie czułam się jako klient. Czułam się jak przyjaciółka która potrzebuje wsparcia w bardzo ważnej sprawie. Pani Kasia nigdy nie obiecywała gruszek na wierzbie, zawsze szczerze i uczciwie mówiła o problemie i o rozwiązaniach. Pani Kasiu dziękuję za to piękne doświadczenie. Nie mogłam wybrać lepiej. Życzę wielu klientów i mało problemowych procesów. Jeszcze raz dziękuję za wszystko.

First time home buyers

I cannot recommend Aaliyah highly enough for her outstanding work in handling my recent conveyancing transaction. From start to finish, her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication were truly exceptional.
Aaliyah's communication throughout the process was exemplary.

She was always prompt in responding to my queries, ensuring I was kept informed every step of the way. Her clear explanations and guidance made what can often be a complex process feel much more manageable.

What truly set Aaliyah apart was her genuine care and kindness. She went above and beyond to ensure the transaction was as smooth as possible, always considering my best interests. Her positive attitude and willingness to help made a significant difference in my experience.

Thanks to Aaliyah's expertise and support, the entire conveyancing process was stress-free and efficient. I felt confident in her abilities and knew that my property purchase was in good hands.
If you're looking for a conveyancer who is not only skilled but also compassionate and dedicated, I wholeheartedly recommend Aaliyah. Her exceptional service has exceeded my expectations, and I'm grateful for her contribution to making my home-buying experience a positive one.

Great Service!

I recently had my Will written by DWS and received a great service. They made the whole process seamless and answered the many questions that I had. They always came back to me promptly whenever I had any queries. Michaela Blackett and Shalina Shaikh in particular were great to deal with and I will definitely be using DWS again for any legal matters.

Staggeringly unprofessional - Avoid

I was assigned DWS by fridaysmove.com and dealt with Pritesh. I can honestly say it was the worst professional experience I have ever had by far in any field and I frankly cannot believe the company are still in business. They were contracted to do a straightforward conveyancing job on a private residential purchase with no chain. They were incredibly uncommunicative and frankly, lazy. Absolutely nothing moved forward and they became utterly intransigent when I tried to escalate the issue and complain that nothing happened between my phone calls or emails at all! Their client services team didn’t take the issue on (in order to defend their own solicitor’s utter lack of action) they just sent a meaningless and defensive letter and were plain rude to me when I phoned leaving me wishing ever since that I had taken them to the Legal Ombudsman - they utterly fell below the standards expected of a professional/legal services firm.
