Arranging my Will

My experience with my solicitor was very friendly, approachable and completely knowledgeable. I wasn't rushed and I had exceptional guidance as I was quite nervous due to having made a big mistake many years ago. I was really happy with my solicitor and would recommend this company to my family and friends.

An understanding approach to a complicated situation

I initially consulted Gail with a query about my husbands Will. She was compassionate and understanding. She advised on the complicated situation and sorted out my problems. I would highly recommend Gail and also Louise Rance who we initially consulted over obtaining legal Power of Attorney for my husband and I.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michele and Adina as my property solicitors/legal reps for various transactions, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Michele and Adina are outstanding in their support, providing expert advice and handling every detail with care and professionalism.

Throughout each transaction, they were always available to answer my questions and explain things clearly, making what could be a stressful process much more manageable. Their thoroughness and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that everything was being taken care of.

What really stood out was their dedication and approachable nature. Michele and Adina went above and beyond to ensure that everything moved smoothly, even when complications arose. Their prompt communication and practical solutions made a real difference in getting things done efficiently.

If you need property solicitors who are knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely care about their clients, Michele and Adina are the ones to trust. They made the entire process straightforward and stress-free, and I’m grateful for their excellent service.

A representative from Russell & Russell Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 13 November, 2024:

Hi Azhar. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review! It’s wonderful to hear how Michele and Adina provided you with expert advice and thorough, attentive support throughout your property transactions. Their dedication to making complex processes manageable and their ability to navigate challenges with practical solutions truly shine through in your feedback. Knowing that they communicated promptly, kept you informed, and went the extra mile to ensure smooth transactions is exactly the level of service we strive for. We’re so glad they could make the process straightforward and stress-free for you. Thank you for your high recommendation, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance in the future!
