Exceptional Experience

Lina, quite simply, is a first-class solicitor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very beginning, during our initial telephone conversation, she was nothing short of outstanding. Compassionate, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable, Lina guided me through an incredibly difficult time with genuine care and utmost professionalism.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for her – every question I had was answered clearly and promptly and I always felt supported and that she was on my side. Her calm, reassuring manner made all the difference and it was clear that she truly cared about defending me. In my view, Lina went above and beyond with every aspect of my case which was handled with precision and an acute attention to detail.

I could not have wished for someone better to have been by my side. Lina is an absolute credit to her profession - I’m truly grateful for all of her help and always will be.

Incredible

I contacted Jared at the start of a complicated TRA and DBS investigation with lots of moving parts and witness statements.
Jared gave me excellent advice and reassurance in the run up and told me to contact him when the paperwork came through. He told me accurate estimates of the costs and the likely pitfalls of how I communicate.
The paperwork came through with a very short turn around. He worked at high speed and was incredibly sharp with all communications. This proved to be the most important aspect of my experience as it was often during my most stressful periods, where anxiety and confusion was extreme. I can not thank him enough for this.
That being said, the outcome was positive and he performed with the highest professionalism, expertise and reassurance under high pressure from the tight timeline.
I could not recommend Jared any enough.
Thank you so much for your professional and personal help.

Chain house sale and purchase

We have dealt with Clifford Johnston before when we purchased our house. Horup dealt with that and due to the great service and seamless transaction, we decided to return for a sale and purchase. Again, we had Horup and other solicitors dealing with the transactions.

Though we had challenges, these were handled extremely well. We were always well informed and the communication was great. We enlisted a date for everything to be completed and it was done on time. Great service and a great experience.

Exceptional Representation

I cannot thank Jared enough for his exceptional representation. Jared went above and beyond with dedicated commitment to getting the right outcome. He was tenacious and passionate. I was impressed by the immediate response to emails - at all times of day and Jared’s caring and approachable manner. Communication was clear and first class. Jared is absolutely astute. From the start I felt that I was in safe hands and that a weight had been lifted. Jared’s meticulous presentation of the case to the TRA, leaving no stone unturned, resulted in the case being closed without going to a hearing. I would highly recommend Jared and am so grateful for his work. Thank you very much indeed Jared.

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
