Last minute litigation friend

After being asked at the last minute to be a litigation friend I found this form to be very efficient and timely as they guided me through a process that i was unaware of. Does what it says on the tin!

Adam Gilbert

I have dealt with Gibsons in the past and have always been impressed, which was why i selected them to handle the sale of my parents flat. My experience with the initial lawyer appointed to deal with this transaction (who i have chosen not to name) was so poor that I was on the verge of complaining to the partners at Gibsons. However, upon her departure from the company and our case being taken over by Adam Gilbert, I can honestly say he has been nothing but efficient and charming and has achieved more in the last few weeks, culminating in bringing our sale to completion, then the previous lawyer did in 6-8 months. My faith in Gibsons has been restored, in large part by both by Adam Gilbert and also Aimee Curson. Both Adam and Aimee have gone beyond the professionalism I could have hoped for and I cannot thank them both enough for their help. I'd like to give a special mention Aimee; she has been amazing in dealing with the issues I have faced with the previous lawyer assigned to my case. Thank again to Adam and Aimee.
Regards, Steven Carr

Sale of dwelling flat in Newcastle upon Tyne Sale of dwelling

Report to admin

Collected on:

Sale of 22 Ovington grove, NE5 2QA

The sale of the property took longer than necessary - over several months - because of, in my opinion, obfuscation by the purchaser and their representative. Throughout, Mr Gilbert remained tactful in his dealings with them and kept me informed so that ultimately the sale was completed successfully.
