Appreciated the help
I enjoyed my visits to Risdon's Solicitors, I was treated with kindness and courtesy by my Solicitor and the rest of the staff.
I am very elderly and was worried about the outcome of my problems. My expectations confirming my legal rights were explained in plain words.
I would recommend their service, thank you for your help

Good in parts
We had a very good experience with the service provided by the Litigation department based at the Taunton office. We would give a 5 star rating to the work of Yana Goutsal.
However our experience with the partner at the Williton office was much less good. He seemed to misunderstand our intentions in our wish to set up a life time trust in favour of our son, and seemed to be prejudiced by the fact we had been obliged to resort to litigation in a family dispute. When we requested a second interview to go forward with the Trust, we got no response or offer of an appointment. We have now gone to a different law firm and I cannot see us using Risdons Williton branch again in the future.

House Sale
I was very unsure about how the sale of my house would proceed but I needn't have worried as Nick Evans worked with my son to ensure it went very smoothly and without any drama at all.

Dear Gerald, thank you for leaving a review. Good to hear that the process went very smoothly using our team.

Reassuring and Competent
Very pleased that we chose to use Risdons for our property sale conveyance. The property was a flat, and the sale was subject to probate, so not the most straightforward sale - but throughout, we felt informed and that we were in safe hands - I would choose to use Rosdoms again for conveyance and happy to give my recommendation.

Dear Stuart, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Great to hear you felt you were in safe hands throughout the conveyancing process.

When buying our first house at the end of last year we chose Risdon, thank god we did! The team at Minehead were so helpful. Catherine and Andrew were brilliant and efficient and our experience was seamless. Thank you for making our experience a pleasant one.

Paula from Risdon Hosegood in Taunton acted for our sale and purchase in Yeovil. We were delighted with the service and found everyone friendly and extremely helpful. Even when we thought we had hit a brick wall with a legal issue it was sorted out quickly effectively and efficiently and we were given great communication. We would highly recommend the company and use them again in the future.
