We recently took advantage of Free Wills month having been let down by a National firm, who were inefficient and never responded to us when we needed to speak with them about matters we needed advice on. In the end we gave up with them and decided face to face with a Solicitor was the answer which was what we should have done initially. Duncan was friendly, helpful and the process was so less stressful than trying to do online zoom calls with the other firm, a good decision made and would definitely recommend. Would use again.
A representative from Rutters responded to this review on 19 May, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're really glad to hear that Duncan provided friendly and helpful face-to-face support, making the process much less stressful compared to your previous experience. Your recommendation means a lot, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!

As an estate agent with no previous relationship with this firm, (I’m based in Cambridge) I think I am well placed to say how impressive they are. It is so refreshing to work with a proactive solicitor on conveyancing matters. Efficient and highly professional. I would strongly recommend this company and Catharine Morrison in particular to anyone that want excellent representation and the speediest transaction possible. Five stars from me!
