Rebecca Wilkinson was excellent

Rebbeca was excellent throughout the entire process of selling my property. It was a complex process that took a long time to be resolved. Rebbeca’s professionalism and communication really helped throughout. Other people I dealt with could learn from Rebbeca’s approach.

Avoid at all costs

Worst solicitor firm you put a lot of trust in these people when they defend you AVOID! For you own sake. the stress my partner has faced due to never being able to get in touch with her solicitor and left abandoned through so many hard situations is unrepairable.

Highly recommend Cari Evans!

We had a particularly difficult sale for a number of reasons but Cari handled everything brilliantly and kept us informed the whole time. She made sure our purchase went through before the stamp duty increased which we were hugely grateful for and we will definitely seek Cari out again when we next decide to move. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Friendly, efficient and professional Legal Aid for SEND

I contacted Gregg for support with Judicial Review after my local authority had not kept to statutory timeframes for an EHCNA process, in spite of pre action letters. It was fast and straightforward to be setup as a client and I was able to complete the registration process via phone and email. All of the preparatory work to submit the application to the Legal Aid Agency was conducted on a pro bono basis. Gregg kept in contact throughout and explained my options clearly. Even after the matter was resolved, Gregg contacted me to make sure things were still progressing. Everyone I spoke to at Watkins was efficient and knowledgeable.

Watkins have been instrumental in helping us appeal our daughter’s EHCP and getting the fundamental and necessary changes approved. Emma Grimbly has been an excellent communicator throughout, giving clear and concise advice and keeping us well informed.
We are grateful to her and her team for their professionalism and expertise and for pushing for the best outcome.

About this branch

Description

We also aim to make our services affordable. We are transparent on costs, with no hidden extras. At our first meeting we will go through the payment terms that are most suited to your means. Additionally, we often promote special offers. Legal aid has now largely disappeared but we remain one of the few firms in the Bristol area able to offer public funding from the Legal Aid Authority. Legal aid may now mainly be restricted to cases involving either child care cases or domestic violence but during our initial meeting with you we will be able to tell you whether you will be eligible for legal aid. We are proud to have won the Bristol Law Society Legal Aid Firm of the Year for 2013/2014.
