Chelsea was amazing and kept me calm throughout all proceedings. Was able to be there for me, emotional as well as legally. She was able to build a very good professional relationship with myself and made sure every single detail was in all paperwork. She is someone I won't forget with her amazing work.
She had to on many occasions explain things clearer to me she didn't mind doing this always knew this was the case. Unlike a solicitor I've had before she put the time in needed to the case I never once felt rushed.

Had great service and representation on a recent court case. Zahrah was great for the talking through the case before hand and helping at the hearing to ensure everything ran smoothly. And had a great outcome to the case and great support pre trial. I would highly recommend.

Excellent on all fronts!

Johnson Astills dealt with my purchase of my first home within a chain (sellers moving to new build). The communication was excellent, they kept me informed each step of the way. Every part of the process was completed with efficiency on their part (most processes are completed in house rather than outsourced and unaccounted for). They even kept myself and husband optimistic where part of the chain was delaying. They are professional and I would recommend them again and again in purchasing a property.

Bethany went above and beyond in her care for her client. Being available at all times, she demonstrated that she has a genuine passion and care for her job. Bethany got me through the hardest time in my life and helped not just me but my family too. We will forever be grateful of the support and guidance shown by Bethany.

I’ve used Johnsons & Astills on numerous occasions now and have been very impressed. Recently selling and buying a house with the help of Anjali Kumar. Anjali has been extremely thorough and knowledgeable and a credit to the company. I would highly recommend Johnsons & Astills and will continue working with them for future ventures.
Thanks Anjali for all your hard work

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills. The team are extremely supportive throughout the process keeping you calm & reassured. Futhermore, I was prepared really well and was also stood up for when questioning nearly went off what the incident was related to. A++++ service.

I would highly recommend Johnson Astills Solicitors, particularly Ms Sharon Percival.
Sharon provided legal advice and representation, which was invaluable. She was very approachable and professional at all times and provided an excellent service. Her paralegal Rhian was also excellent.
I would like to thank them both.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided. Michelle Harding was extremely supportive, very knowledgeable and highly professional throughout. From the moment I met with her I found her to be personable, perceptive, fastidious in following up all my concerns and questions, and totally committed to gaining the best and fairest outcome for me as her client. I am so glad that I made that initial exploratory phone call to her office which put me in touch with her. I highly recommend her and her team.
