Thank you

Recommended by Iamsold. Initially was not sure as it was too far from my city. First struggle to provide ID , the guy from Thirdfort was helpful and issue solved.
After that everything went smoothly.
Megan is professional and helpful.

Fantastic Service!

My experience with Sweeney Miller is positive because of the fantastic service from one of the best solicitors around - Lauren Charlton. She was very supportive and understanding throughout the process. Thank you for giving me a positive impression about the company.

Done Deal

We were initially wary of using a ‘remote’ solicitors ( Sunderland is not local to Milton Keynes…) for our house sale but we need not have been. Communication was excellent throughout and we were updated at every step. Due to our circumstances, we were on a tight deadline for exchange and completion and our solicitor still got the job done. We received a friendly, professional service (dealt with the same person throughout the process) and felt that they had our back. Nobody likes paying solicitors fees but in this case we feel we had value for our money.

Leasehold Purchase

Shahar helped my neighbor and I purchase our lease from a long-time holder. The entire affair was drawn out but this was due to several matters surrounding the purchase.

Once Shahar become involved in our case, he was nothing short of efficiant, diligant, informataive and polite. He was communicatative and friendly, and helped us shift this over the line. I would highly recommend his services.

Sale of buisness

I had the pleasure of working with Ramsha and Luke from Sweeney Miller Law Firm in Sunderland during the sale of my business, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise and support. They made what could have been a complex process incredibly easy, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were truly impressive. I always felt reassured knowing they had everything under control. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to navigate the intricacies of selling a business. Thank you both!

Ramsha's professionalism and sincerity are highly commendable and we are very thankful for her help and exceptional legal service. She is friendly, highly knowledgeable and proactive, shows dedication and committed, and has excellent communication skills.

Ramsha has been discrete and empathetic where there have been difficulties from our side of the proceedings and her support, integrity and guidance through our commercial lease process has been smooth and stress-free on our part.

She has developed a relation based on confidence and trust which will continue in the future.
