Company Share Purchase

Throughout the process of the sale of company shares, Debbie King’s knowledge and expertise were impressive and most importantly, very reassuring.
She was thorough, super-efficient and explained each step clearly.
And, with the added bonus of her supportive and approachable manner, it made all the difference when it came to achieving the best outcome for our business. Thanks again Debbie.

Truly outstanding service and support

Working through an unanticipated process with your employer can be very stressful, but Victoria Mitchell and the team at Farleys were super-supportive every step of the way, providing clear and well thought through advice and guidance. Importantly, Victoria was always available throughout to chat or answer any questions of concern. Farleys provided an amazing level of professionalism, service and responsiveness and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Truly outstanding!

Highly skilled and offers expert Employment Law legal advice

I had need of an employment solicitor at very short notice regarding an employment issue. The invaluable advice I received from Sally Eastwood helped me feel in control - I received a lot of confidence and support at an unexpected and difficult time. Sally negotiated a far better deal than was offered to me originally. I have no hesitation in recommending the employment law services that Farleys offer.

Very complex employment law issues

I was a trembling wreck when I first met Sally - I couldn’t string 4 words together without starting to cry. She managed me brilliantly. Her manner was perfect for me. She took control and showed me the steps we needed to follow. She broke it down into manageable segments - and I left her office feeling that a horrendous weight had been lifted

I approached his lawfirm as they dealt with abuse cases. I approached Farley, 5/6 years ago and still no decision. On my case I'm still waiting. I was promised a copy of my files so that I could go through them and still to this day I do not have my files. I've tried to make a formal complaint. Farley solicitors website does not have a complete section. When I called them to discuss. I was told I would need to speak to a lady called Debbie King about my complaint I'm still waiting to speak to this lady my experience of 5 to 6 years has not been pleasant. When you call to speak to the lawyer that's support. In your case they're never available. You have to book a telephone appointment weeks in a head to speak to the Lawyer . Avoid this law firm, as there are much better lawfirms out there with a heart and compassion to support you not from this law, firm, the money, greedy, hungry takers. Avoid at all costs.

Following a recommendation, Victoria Mitchell of Farleys Solicitors recently managed a work matter for me. Extremely professional throughout all communications, she guided me through the process, making everything clear and explaining every step, offering sound advice where required.
Her knowledge and wealth of experience helped me understand things that initially seemed confusing and she put me at ease knowing I was in great hands and that she would do the best for me.
I would absolutley recommend her to anyone looking for employment law services.

We would like to thank Julie Fishwick at Farleys Solicitors Accrington, who dealt with the purchasing of our forever home. Julie was very efficient and professional. The whole thing from start to finish was not stressful at all and Julie kept us up to date with the whole process. I would definitely recommend Farleys if you are buying or selling a property.

Hi Becky, thanks so much for 5 star review. We're so pleased you were happy with the service you received from Farleys and I have passed your lovely comments on to Julie. We hope you'll be very happy in your new home!
