This is the second time in 2 years I have used Jodie Stafford and her team at Gard and Co.
Both times we came across sticking points but she overcame them all promptly and kept me updated at all times.
I would fully recommend her and the team and will without doubt use again in the future.

Jodie worked exceptionally well to process my flat purchase before the stamp duty increase on the
1st April.
I would recommend Gard & Co without hesitation.

I chose Gard and Co to complete the conveyancing for my house purchase as they gave a complete order on costs from the start. During the house purchase process, I felt valued and protected being provided with clear advice to guide me in any decisions I needed to make. I felt that I was in professional hands and that I would be kept aware of progress and any potential pitfalls along the way. Jodie and Michelle were approachable and it was a pleasure to work with them. I would heartily recommend Gard and Co.
A representative from Gard & Co responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Christopher. We're delighted to hear you had a positive experience with Jodie, Michelle, and the team. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad we could guide you through the process smoothly.

We dealt with Llinos who was so helpful and friendly and extremely professional in answering our questions. Communication was superb throughout the process.

My partner Jamie and I cannot speak highly enough of Jodie and Michelle, who have made our experience of buying our first home a lot less stressful. Email communications were very efficient, answering all of our questions and enquires. They chased enquires with other firms and gave us regular updates throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend using Gard and Co, we will definitely be using this firm again in the future. Thank you Jodie and Michelle!

Jane Gilding and her assistant Frieda Stark-Georghiades at Gard & Co. were excellent in all my dealings with them during the writing of my new Will. Ms Gilding is an experienced solicitor with a thorough knowledge of her branch of the law. She was helpful at all times, gave good advice and answered all my questions with clear information. All was dealt with as speedily as I wished. I have had dealings with other Plymouth solicitors over the years, whose knowledge and service has been inferior to Gard's solicitors.
A representative from Gard & Co responded to this review on 07 February, 2025:
Frieda and I thank you for your kind comments and we are glad that you have found your experience with us to be a positive one.

My Wife and I instructed Gard & Co in relation to updating our Wills.
The process was swift and professional and Ruben Bakcsi attention to detail was exceptional.
We would highly recommend their services for anyone looking to secure their wills or power of attorney.

I can't speak more highly of the service we received from Gard during the sale of our flat in Plymouth and subsequent move. Jodie and Michelle were both extremely responsive and professional at all times, something that was all the more apparent given the borderline obstructive behaviour of other firms of solicitors elsewhere in our chain. I'd definitely recommend Gard and Co.
A representative from Gard & Co responded to this review on 06 February, 2025:
It was a pleasure to help you through this transaction and get you in your new property. Wishing you both the very best in your new home!

This is the second time our family has used Gard & Co Solicitors and James (Jim) Bedford for personal injury purposes. I can't thank Jim enough. The process was personal and professionally managed throughout the three-year process. We would not have had this service using an insurance solicitor. I am glad we were recommended Jim from Gard & Co. and resisted the pressure from the insurance company that we should be using them. Contact was easy, and the whole team was friendly and helpful. Jim understood our situation and fought with our best interests at the forefront throughout.
Thank you
