Claire helped us out in an emergency and did exactly what we needed in a very delicate situation. I would recommend using her services not only as a solicitor but as a very compassionate human being. Yes its a business and they have to make money but Claire sees people which is a pretty rare these days!

I have no hesitation in recommending Alex May following using the services of Clarke and Son and in particular Alex.
Meetings were held both virtually and in person and Alex was able to articulate and explain the documents in a way that made understanding very easy for me.
All emails were responded to promptly with all matters followed up in a timely manner.

I moved (sold and purchased) during covid when the news was telling us it was taking 6-12 months, Simon had me moved in a normal timeframe. Then Simon and the team manage the sale of my mother house, with the same great service. And now I have sold and purchased again and had the same great experience. Highly recommend.

The team at Clarke & Sons are fantastic. We have worked very closely with Nigel Tranah on a number of transactions and he is fantastic. We always know we are getting sound advice, under pressure of deadlines he can absolutely perform and make what feels like miracles happen!
I can't recommend Nigel and the firm enough.
