I had the privilege of having Suman as my solicitor. My case was pretty complex and lasted just over a year, including 5 court hearings and untold amounts of preparation and paperwork.
Suman was fantastic from start to finish, I was continuously kept up to date and always understood my position and my options. Suman maintained professional throughout but also so kind and caring too. There was never anything too big or small and there were many times she worked all hours perfecting paperwork and making sure she didn’t miss anything.
For my final hearing Suman had arranged a barrister for me, I personally asked that Suman represent me as I was that confident in her. She was a little nervous because she had never represented a client at a final hearing before. Well she absolutely smashed it, as I knew she would, so much so that after her reading out my closing statement she had prepared, the opposing party declined to comment and withdrew, admitted defeat and left before the hearing finished.
I cannot thank her enough for all the hard work and dedication she put into helping me, her work ethic and capabilities are endless and I wish her all the best for the future.
Thank you again Suman.

Samantha provided excellent communication, guidance, and was very quick to respond to emails, throughout the process of discussing our new Wills for myself and my Wife.
When we met Samantha to sign the legal documents she was very professional, pleasant, and made us both feel, like long standing customers.
I would highly recommend Bassets Solicitors.

Collected on:
Having found myself in a messy situation that required possible Court action, I cannot speak highly enough of the advice and support that I received from Bassets.
They guided me through the process and offered me the best possible advice.
Gratefully the case did not require the intervention of the Court and the situation has thankfully been resolved.
