Sale of Property
Very good.
In these days of remote working, it is difficult to make a good rapport with clients.
I feel at least a phone call if not a face to face always helps.
Perhaps older clients who are wary of first names in comms could be referred to by surnames.
Just my comments.
I came to Woodfines because I have been a longstanding client and because they have always looked after me well.
And because they are local to my office.
Thank you.

Sale of Land
We have used Woodfines for several years now, so when I managed to sell a plot of land for my mother in law, who lives 4 hours away, we were delighted to suggest using Woodfines for the legal's and what a great decision it was, clear cut, speedy and extremely professional. Joseph Cowles was really helpful from the first contact, helping to reassure my mother in law, every step of the way and much faster than we thought.

Nic Dino and his team once again did a fantastic job for the sale of my house. This was probably my 3rd house sale/buy through Nic in the last 10 years. Nic guided me through each step, protected my interests and pushed back unacceptable requests from the Buyer's solicitor. and patiently explained risks for any agreement i would like to make. I am very happy with the services from Woodfines Cambridge. I'd give more than 5 stars review to Nic Dino.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 31 May, 2024:
Dear Cerdin, Thank you so much for the fantastic review. Nic and the team are pleased that you are happy with the service and that you have come back for a third time. If you need further guidance please don't hesitate to contacts us. Kind regards, Amie- Marketing Team

A situation was suddenly put in front of me at work regarding either termination of my employment or a settlement agreement, I was part of the management team, I have used Woodfines solicitors before to deal with a estate I inherited, I contacted Woodfines of Cambridge to see if they could assist me with me with this daunting situation, I had a lovely lady called Michelle Bruce who was extremely professional & reassured me that she could deal with the situation & that she did, Michelle went out of her way to help me and get the the best possible outcome for me financially, Michelle was able to negotiate what I would call a fair compensation sum.
I could not recommend Michele Bruce enough, I am just your average working man with a family, if you find yourself in the same situation please do contact Michelle as I can reassure you she will be able to help you get the best possible outcome.
Thank you Michelle on behalf of myself and my family.

Dear Blake, Thank you for leaving this wonderful review regarding Michelle. Our Employment team always make sure that their clients are getting the best possible outcome. Thank you for recommending our services. Kind regards, Amie- Marketing Team.
