Excellent service from start to finish

In what was quite a stressful situation I found my dealings with Lina very reassuring. The prompt response, information received about certain matters and her understanding of my situation was always handled first class. I felt like I was in competent hands all of the time and would highly recommend her and the firm.

Above & Beyond

We had a purchase that was extremely time sensitive, Mr Horup Khan went above and beyond to get everything in place for the purchase to complete. we were kept informed at all times in a friendly, professional manner. We would not hesitate in using Clifford Johnston again and recommending to others.

“Forever Gratefull”

On a recommendation I was able to acquire Lina-Tsui-Cheung of Clifford Johnstone to represent myself after being charged with quite a serious offence .

Luckily for me , Lina’s many years experience in a courtroom environment was obvious and apparent, having been a Crown Prosecutor for 15 years and now a Criminal Solicitor for the past xx years.

Lina is approachable, very smart, and a lovely lady.

Lina, although small in stature punches like a heavyweight. on the day she impressed both myself and my friends, going on too procure a positive outcome, an acquittal.

Professional, reassuring and a good outcome

Jared was everything you want in a solicitor. Professional, knowledgeable, reassuring and realistic, approachable and with great timely communication.

He was great for the gathering of documents and statements. He pulled it all together into a professional, concise and laser-focused document that got exactly the result we needed.

Costs were completely transparent from the start, which was reassuring, and a set figure meant I didn't need to worry about sending a follow up email. Jared replied at all times too, meaning I didn't have long waits to get help or answers (take a holiday, Jared!).

I can't recommend Jared and by extension Clifford Johnston enough.

Practical, responsive, experienced

Horup was my solicitor for the sale of my flat and purchase of a new property. There were a few delays due to my lender whom. Horup chased multiple times. I found Horup to be responsive and offer practical measured advice.

Excellent service

We have used Horup Khan as our representative in the past for a previous purchase and this time knew we made a mistake going to an external company. When we switched over to Clifford Johnston & Co, we asked directly for Horup to take our next purchase on. He is reliant, clear and concise at every step of the way. Horup got the job done as quickly as he could and we knew we were in great hands.

Mr Khan handled the conveyancing of our sale and purchase smoothly with excellent communication throughout. He was a calm presence when there were a few issues in the chain and managed the other solicitor's in the chain and the agents really well. We'd highly recommend.

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on.

He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor

Chris Furbey went above and beyond to get my sale through. He was incredibly diligent looking at all the details provided to him and ensuring that issues with the leasehold were properly resolved and safeguarding me for the future when I come to sell on! Thanks team
