We dealt with approachable, friendly staff who were available when needed. Having a direct line to an actual person was invaluable,even when asking the smallest question. There was always a quick response to queries. Given that I live a considerable distance from the office in Wolverhampton, every effort was made to take this into consideration. Your drop down menu only gives me the opportunity to name Hayley Griffiths but Kate Goode and Sophie Eardley were invaluable in this process and were the smiling face and cheery voice that we dealt with most.

The Solicitor and colleagues assisted with the sale of my father's home. I have lasting power of attorney hence dealing with this on his behalf. The team who worked on my father's enquiry were very helpful, ready to explain any queries I had. They were clear about time scales, acting promptly to ensure the process was completed as quickly as possible.

Very pleased with the service we got from Hannah and her team, dealing with 2 house sales and a lease extension, we were kept informed every step of the way. The costs were layed out to us from the beginning and adhered to, I can't fault the service of the Wolverhampton office and have to say we also dealt with Sara from the Redditch office on two probates again complex but dealt with a timely manner and followed up relentlesly on a few outstanding monies owed.
