A Family Law matter resolved speedily and efficiently

I required assistance for an unforeseen circumstance that cropped up regarding an earlier relationship. I contacted several providers who were either not capable of dealing with the case or they stressed a vast sum of money needed before doing anything.
On contacting Pardoes my description of the situation was immediately understood and an initial meeting was arranged. At that meeting with an expert senior staff member, the full implications were described to me and my father, and a way forward explained, including initial deposit sum to start work. A defence case was outlined at the meeting and and the way forward proposed to thwart the allegations. These were later detailed as part of the work prior to the court hearing. The court hearing was handled very professionally and a sensible agreement was made to close the matter.

Overall, an excellent service was provided and I would recommend Pardoes, certainly for Family Law matters.

Flat Purchase

We had an excellent experience with our solicitors. When the first seller unexpectedly took the property off the market, they made sure we understood all the potential consequences, keeping us well-informed and prepared. When we found another property, they guided us through every specific detail involved. Their expertise and clear communication ensured that we were aware of everything necessary for a smooth transaction. Thanks to their dedication and support, the entire process was much easier than we anticipated. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive solicitor!

Mortgage process

From start to finish, I had quick, clear and transparent communication at almost any time of the day in regards to the mortgage process and what was required, also helping with any questions I may have had big or small. I can honestly say the help from the team at Pardoes, Yeovil was nothing short of exceptional and utterly flawless. A special thank you to Sasha Loveridge and Yseult Fell, much appreciated efforts from Charlotte and I, the speedy process was highly desired by ourselves and the previous property owner.

Excellent Conveyance

Pardoes welcomed me with a professional, how can we help attitude.
From the get go, a very proactive service with an all staff members within the team who where assigned to work with you, knowing they have your interests at heart.
In particular Sophie Folland who took over our conveyance as lead who was immediately met with a very frustrating situation and a very long transition of just over 5 months.
Sophie dealt with this in a professional and proactive manner, communicating with Estate Agents, solicitors and ourselves efficiently expediting issues through to all parties concerned.
I could not recommend this company more for their professional proactive, efficient work ethic

We have used Pardoes for many years and have always been incredibly impressed with the service they offer. Most recently we have been re-doing our Wills and Powers of Attorney and were efficiently guided through the process in a friendly, clear and reassuring way. We also felt that it was excellent value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend Pardoes.
