The greatest experience!

I had a great experience with a few of the ladies at rwk Swindon but mostly mollie Mckelvie. She made me feel empowered, heard and believed during a tough child arrangements court case. After prior bad experience with a different firm all my concerns and anxieties were settled by Mollie when she continuously shown care and compassion and she ultimately played a huge part in making sure me and my child got the absolute best results ! Will be forever grateful to have landed in the safe hands with some of the most talented and powerful ladies !

Would Highly recommend Jo Kent

Jo was fantastic! We sold and brought our house with RWK and I’ve never worked with such a nice solicitor. So was very approachable, and very quick at getting back to us! For how stressful buying and selling house can be, having such a great solicitor made it that much easier.
Would 100% use again and recommend to anyone buying or selling a property

A representative from RWK Goodman LLP responded to this review on 07 June, 2024:

Thank you for your kind words, Hannah. We're delighted Jo made your buying and selling process easier. Your recommendation and willingness to use our services again mean a lot to us. All the best, RWK Goodman.

We have just sold and brought a house using RWK Goodman, and I can not recommend them enough! Never have I used such a nice and very prompt solicitor. Jo was very quick at getting back to us, and the sale and buying of our houses went as smoothly as it could and very fast! When I called or emailed someone got back to me that day!
Would 100% you them again! Thank you for being so great!

A representative from RWK Goodman LLP responded to this review on 07 June, 2024:

Dear Hannah, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear about your smooth experience with Jo and our team during your house sale and purchase. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future. Best Regards, RWK Goodman

Highly recommend Chris Willows

Our experience using Chris Willows was exceptional.
After going through multiple complications with properties and other solicitors, Chris was recommended to us.
He was professional, prompt with replies and got the job done within 2 weeks.
He made time for a last minute meeting, visited the property an hour away the day after instruction and was easy to contact by phone - something we found more like an iron wall with other practices.
It was a breath of fresh air working with him and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Thank you very much!

A representative from RWK Goodman LLP responded to this review on 19 February, 2024:

Dear Briony, Thank you for your glowing review. We're thrilled to hear about your exceptional experience with Chris Willows, highlighting his professionalism, promptness, and accessibility. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we're delighted Chris was able to provide such a positive impact.

I can not recommend Malcolm Gregory enough

I recently found myself needing a settlement agreement to be reviewed and Malcolm Gregory was utterly amazing. From the first conversation I was reassured that Malcolm was not only an expert in his field but also that he would look after me. He went above an beyond making sure I was looked after with the agreement and offering kind words when the emotion of the situation got to me. In summary he made a difficult situation as positive as he could and I got the best deal for me.

Release of late relatives will

Extremely disappointed with the experience from RWK Goodman.
From the moment myself and the other executor entered the room, followed by the solicitor. We could tell she had better things to do. There was no compassion, no sorry for your loss. We did ask a few questions however. Although I am very aware that this comes at a price, seeing as I have never been an exexutor, was more than happy to pay for a service.
But the solicitor in question made us feel like idiots when queries were posed. No constructive language was used and everything we said seemed to just be shut down. They were more than happy to discuss prices and nothing else.
My main point is a little compassion would go a long way.
Knowing the will in question had been written and adjusted over several years, I am aware that all of this was done at a price. Quite rightly, however, this was not even considered when handing the will over.
It doesn't matter who you are, how much money is in your account. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and a little diginity. Especially those grieving for close loved ones.

A representative from RWK Goodman LLP responded to this review on 21 October, 2022:

Hello Amy, thank you for taking the time to contact us. We are sorry to hear of how you feel about your experiences with our team. We would like the opportunity to look into this matter further and use it to improve our services. Would you please be able to provide us with a little more information by emailing your full name and contact details to complaints@rwkgoodman.com Kind regards.

Excellent clear advise

Since becoming Head of HR at Orano almost 5 years ago I started using Malcolm Gregory as the company solicitor as I had been impressed with the service he provided when I was at my previous company. In the time he has been helping us with employment law matters he has always been readily available and has provided excellent, clear and concise advise.
