Excellent Experience
Karisma was an absolute joy to do deal, she kept me up to date and informed throughout the process and worked tirelessly on my behalf. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karisma and will definitely use her again.

Excellent Service
Karisma took on our case from another solicitor that had left the practice and the handover was seamless. Karisma kept us up to date throughout and was always able to help where required. It is nice to have a solicitor that is responsive and available. Smoothest transaction that i have experienced thanks to Karisma

This is without a doubt the most professional, fast and efficient service I have ever received from a solicitor. I joked to friends/family often it was like something landed on my solicitors desk and was dealt with within minutes! It did truly feel like this was the case, the service stood out that much. I was treated with respect and I felt well informed at all times. If I asked a question I was responded to quickly and it was just overall a great service. The sale of my mothers house was always going to be difficult for me and I cannot thank Gobindra Nadala enough for his integrity, professionalism and time. This is an honest review and I am very happy to provide it. I won't hesitate to use this solicitor/firm again for all my legal requirements. A seamless process, thank you so much Gobindra take care

Absolutely terrible solicitors.
I can't go in to specific details as to the case but these clowns were slow to get anything done, rude, and caused unneccesary worry and stress. Awful service. DO NOT USE!

A huge thank you to Trisha of Josiah Hincks for overseeing both the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new house. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received.
We found Trisha incredibly proactive, efficient, thorough and absolutely superb at keeping us updated throughout the process.
Thank you for everything and we look forward to working with you again.

AVOID. Chantelle was honestly the rudest person I have ever come across. A real discredit to your company.
I spoke to multiple solicitors for quotes and all of them were so lovely. From the first time speaking to Chantelle, she was completely rude and unwilling to help. I have a trail of emails showing how rude she was- when all I was doing was asking for support and relevant questions. In an already stressful situation, it made me feel so uncomfortable, and anxious. I have never been in a situation like this before, where someone is openly rude and arrogant. I asked a question to which she responded ‘I’m not payed to answer that’ and then constantly avoiding answering any questions. She double booked me originally and then when I couldn’t make the new appointment, she blamed me saying they’ve ’accommodated me’- despite double booking me in the first place.
I ended up un-appointing them, purely based on the attitude of Chantelle. The reception staff were lovely- it was just Chantelle only- so a real shame one staff member can portray your company in such a negative light. I tried asking for another solicitor and Chantelle said there was no one else???? That doesn’t seem right to me. Hence why I ended up un -appointing them as a whole.
Disgusting service and I believe which ever senior sees this, has a proper look into how she communicates with clients- as I doubt I am the only/first person who has experienced this from her. Considering it started from the first conversation we had.

We can’t thank them enough for their outstanding support during a very difficult time.
Extremely professional. At no point have we ever doubted their ability to carry out all that we have required them to do.
Thank you

I turned to this firm of solicitors, when I had an urgent and short time constraint matter to deal with. I found them very friendly, approachable and most of all very professional and knowledgeable. The solicitor I dealt, Matthew Thom continued to progress the matter until it was resolved which was fantastic and took away my stress. I would highly recommend the firm.
