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.

From start to finish i can not recommend your company enough. Kept in touch all the way through our selling process, answered any questions straight away. Chased constantly for answers from the buyers solicitors.
Great company and will definitely be on the top of my list when I need a solicitor again.
Thank you 😊

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.
