Owen has just successfully completed a tricky commercial property matter for us and we couldn’t be happier with him help! His clear explanations and meticulous attention to detail made everything straightforward and stress-free. I felt genuinely supported throughout the process and would highly recommend his services.

Service and Cost

I have used a number of solicitors in my life and always felt the service provided was not efficient and also the quote was always less than the final invoice. I am pleased to say that Goodlaw Solicitors were very efficiency, excellent communication and detailed professional advise provided. I was pleased to see that my final invoice amount was as per the quote.
Thanks

A great experience from start to finish

It was a real pleasure working with Owen, he helped guide me through the process and was super quick to respond to my questions. I was a bit nervous about the responsibilities of taking on a commercial property but Owen helped me to understand the lease and made sure that the terms were in my best interest. Thank you so much!

Easy communication - get the job done

This review is for a different branch.

I instructed the Hassocks team (Gareth Collins) for my lease extension after a tricky time trying to resolve this independently. He knew exactly what he was doing, took all the stress and got the job done. I was trying to sell simultaneously and he didn't seem to mind my chasing for land reg updates. I have since instructed him for the conveyancing of my sale as he just cracks on, rather than requiring constant input from me. Exactly what you need from a good solicitor. I had direct comms for the whole process, rather than being pushed through a call centre and had a direct email to him. A refreshing approach.

GoodLaw have provided an exceptional service and have supported me for several very challenging years during my divorce and child dispute. Alix and Malvina have the skills, experience, professionalism and have given me much needed guidance and reassurance (always with compassion). Both delivering far more than the required legal protocols and I will be forever grateful to them.

GoodLaw Solicitors, and specifically Owen Walsh, were absolutely brilliant. We couldn't have asked for a better service. We had never leased a commercial property before so the process was quite unfamiliar. Owen patiently guided us every step of the way. He answered all our questions promptly and clearly, gave excellent advice and was just generally great to deal with. It made what could have been quite a stressful process much easier. Would definitely recommend. And if our experience with Owen is reflective of the standard of all solicitors at GoodLaw we would use the firm again for any other legal processes.

I am so pleased I was introduced to Malvina and Alix at GoodLaw. They have both been amazing, with all the emotional upset of going through my divorce and have acted in a professional manner throughout with the added bonus of always being on top of everything. They both handle everything with such care and are also very knowledgeable, always knowing the best way to move forward with my divorce.

We have had an absolutely brilliant service from Fiona Mcleish twice now when buying and selling houses. It is so rare to deal with a conveyancing team that are responsive, proactive and so delightfully human. Goodlaw are reasonably priced, but I would happily pay double to deal with a team like this compared to any other conveyancer I have ever dealt with - they are often the weakest link in the chain but Fiona held ours together.
