Laurie is our hero!

We have worked with Laurie for many years, and she has been nothing short of exceptional. Whether it’s purchasing or refinancing properties, she has always provided expert guidance with professionalism and efficiency. Her deep knowledge of property law, attention to detail, and ability to navigate complex transactions have been invaluable to us.

Laurie is not just an expert in her field but also someone who truly cares about her clients, always ensuring we are well-informed and confident in every step of the process. Her responsiveness and dedication make what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with, we highly recommend Laurie. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our property transactions!

Purchase of commercial property.

I recently purchased a commercial property in Cleethorpes.
Dealing with Jedd Acton was a genuine pleasure.
Extremely professional, very easy to deal with, fantastic communication, friendly nature and got the job done in a very short time period.
Will definitely use again in the future and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Many thanks indeed.

Our solicitor was always one step ahead: instead of being re-active he was always pro-active, which helped move things along at a decent pace. Highly recommend Josiah Hincks.
