I found this company when I needed Legal help with U.S. documents after my baby sister's passing. Many Solicitors firms at a very distressing time, came across as dismissive and were money orientated. That is why anyone is in business however, this company was reasonable and couldn't have been more helpful before discussing money. Alis used all the tools available to communicate to me how CWJ would and could help me and Andrew made me feel at ease regarding a set of document signing that was completely alien to me.

Used CWJ on recommendation of a friend who is retired solicitor for another company and wasn’t disappointed. Our wedding being in another country required documentation to be notarised and have apostille applied and CWJ (Alis) assisted us through the process efficiently with great insight and knowledge of what was required.

CWJ provided and excellent, efficient and professional service from my initial enquiry through to completion of my matter.
CWJ’s solicitor (Faye Shortall) and her staff were knowledgable and friendly, able to explain legal complexities in clear layman terms.
I would recommend CWJ without hesitation.

I had some papers which needed to be notarised and carried out a google search for a Notary of the Public in Bromley and the surrounding areas.
A total of 2 companies were short-listed in close proximity to my home and CWJ came in at a much more reasonable cost than the second firm and have to add the service was efficient and very professional.
CWJ explained the process of getting a document notarised (as this is priced per each 'document' which needs to be signed.
The whole process took est 30 minutes and was able to pay by card once the documents were notarised.
There are parking bays close to CWJ offices, but generally no free parking during working hours as far as I could see.
CWJ also offer other services from wills, inheritance tax planning, retirement planning, buying and selling houses and dealing with other family issues.
Very professional company/staff. Recommended and I would also use their services again.

We had a great experience working with the team at CWJ, particularly Karthiga Sangaralingam, throughout our property transaction. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Karthiga guided us through every step of the process with patience and attention to detail, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We truly appreciated her responsiveness and dedication, and we felt well-supported at every stage.
We would happily recommend CWJ to anyone looking for reliable and efficient legal support in a property matter.

Following my recent conversation with Christa on May 29th at 9:54 AM regarding the price for a deed of variation, I cannot accept your offer of an initial consultation with a partner at £400 per hour or the quote of £500 to £1,000 for the variation.
I consider it opportunistic exploitation and excessive for a relatively simple task.
Lawhive provided a free telephone consultation and a fixed price of £479.

Clarkson Wright and Jakes represented me last year for the sale of my property in Kent and I was so impressed with them that I requested their services again when I was ready to purchase my new home in Shropshire more recently.
Leah Noyes and her support team were professional and thorough throughout the whole conveyancing process. They were quick to respond to my queries and they made sure that every detail was covered before advising exchange and completion on my purchase. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm. They were five star in their service.

CWJ dealt with the sale of my late mother’s house. Cost was accurate and I was kept informed every step of the way as to what stage we were at.
Chireen Miller did the conveyancing and I would definitely use her again if I needed to.
Sarah Cheeseman from the legal team was also very helpful.
