Very efficient and helpful redrafting of previous will.
This review is for a different branch.
I needed to replace my previous will with a new one to remove some beneficiaries and replace with some new ones. with the help of Jemma I was able to make some other changes to help make it more "future proof". She was very helpful in answering my questions clearly and thoroughly checking out my circumstances to make sure that anything that I might wanted to add in the future (such as lists of valuables to go to particular legatees). My whole experience was very good and I found it very reassuring as it is important to get a will right. I also got good advice about Inheritance tax, should it be relevant in the future althought it is not now. I would recommend Jemma to anyone.

Excellent and efficient service by all the team
This review is for a different branch.
A colleague recommended Jo Martin to me and what a great recommendation it was! I have bought and sold quite a few properties and have never had such an efficient, seamless and stress-free experience as with Jo, Mandy and the rest of the team.
Communication is excellent and timely, and Jo takes time to explain and discuss things ensuring you are fully in the picture. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble despite how busy they are.
People used to talk about 'service with a smile' and this perfectly describes what you get with Jo and all who support her. Top marks!

Gwen was very helpful and efficient throughout the entire process. Gwen and her colleague Patuni kept me informed at every stage and explained everything clearly. If you are buying or selling a property I would highly recommend Copley Clark Solicitors

Excellent service from Jo Martin and her assistant Mandy Hinton at the Reading office on the sale of my elderly mother's house. Since neither party was in a chain, exchange and completion happened smoothly within just a couple of weeks. Communication was good and I would certainly recommend Jo and Mandy.

I had the pleasure of working with Gwen Li and the team at Parfitt Cresswell for the purchase of my first property, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. What can often be a complicated and overwhelming process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and clear communication. Gwen & Patuni, in particular, were fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to explain things in a way that made sense. I felt well-informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Gwen and the Parfitt Cresswell team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional legal service.
