We have used C&W for three different legal matters over the last eighteen months.
Their advice and legal expertise has been second to none.
We would recommend C & W unreservedly.

From the very outset, David displayed a plethora of knowledge in relation to the whole process. In addition, he demonstrated an acute understanding of my exact requirements. Throughout the process, which at times was testing, due to the other party: he always placed my needs were the most important. His knowledge, experience, determination and compassion ensured that I was and remained the number one priority and all my objectives were satisfied.
A representative from Clough & Willis responded to this review on 19 June, 2024:

Just tried to talk to a Mr Hall about a problem I have had with a surveyor. What an incredibly rude and abrupt man. I will not be using this company based on his manner.

We used Clough and Willis as our conveyancing solicitors. Caroline was our solicitor for buying our house; we are first-time buyers, and she has been fantastic from start to finish. The whole process took eight weeks, from putting in an offer to getting our keys. She has made the whole process a smooth/stress free ride.
She responds very quickly to any queries we had, keeping you up to date with the whole process. I would like to thank Caroline. Highly recommended from Rachel and Lee

When i started with Clough and Willis i felt quite low about my case. They raised me up from the initial meeting. My case was complicated and the other-side made it difficult. Throughout this time they continually communicated and offered support. When it cane to court they fought really hard for me and for that i cant thank them enough.

Horrendous! me and my sister felt like we was on trial and not welcomed at all. We was going through a traumatic experience and unknown territory and was felt like we had done something wrong. (we was just defending our fathers estate from a greedy ex). We were basically told she would win. No reassurance at all, no kindness. THIS COMPANY IS ONLY AFTER MONEY!! Do not go near if your looking for advice or help.
A representative from Clough & Willis responded to this review on 17 July, 2024:
Dear Ms Murray. I'm very sorry to hear about your experience with us. If you could email me at [email protected] with your contact details I will ask a member of the team to contact you so that the matter can be investigated further. Kind regards Clare
