Great Solicitors for First Time Property Purchase

As a first-time buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Russel Cook Solicitors. They were excellent throughout the entire process. Charlie was incredibly fast at responding to all my queries, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Additionally, they were always friendly and had a great level of knowledge, making me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Russel Cook Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional service.

Brilliant and efficient service.

Joseph at Russell Cooke was our knight in shining armour. Our previous solicitors were causing unnecessary delays and we needed to meet the stamp duty deadline. Joseph took everything on and resolved all queries within the deadline. He was supportive, informative and diligent and he was quick to respond to our queries. I had total faith in Russell Cooke throughout the process and I highly recommend their services.

slow and fees will change without explanation and for the same service

Slow service and fees change without explanation. At the beginning, they stated the fees that would be owed for the services. Then, months later, was told that much higher fees were due for the same services (nothing additional). When asked for an explanation of this, they did not give one, yet demanded payment of the newly amended higher fees. Unprofessional and disappointing.

Don't use this firm

I did not have a good experience with the Probate team. Poor communication and they put you on a treadmill with their legal fees. I couldn't believe it when the final bill was calculated. I never leave bad reviews, but I was really upset and had to share.

Excellent Client Care

I have used Russell-Cooke for conveyancing a few times now and each time I have been provided with excellent client care from beginning to end. I was kept informed of the progress of my transaction throughout and any queries were answered quickly and clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm.

A truly professional and competent team

What a thoroughly professional approach Janice Gardner and her team took in conducting my complex medical legal claim over a period of four years. Throughout this time I was consulted and kept informed of all the major issues involved. Janice's team were always approachable, supportive and completely thorough in their investigations ensuring I received the best possible representation and outcome.

Brilliant end to end delivery

I was tempted to find a cheaper firm to handle my case but I'm glad I didn't. Rachel has been first class throughout the process. Whilst our case hasn't been the most straightforward she has kept in regular contact and given clear and practical advice. I would thoroughly recommend Russell-Cooke.

Highly recommend

I have used Russel- Cooke twice and they have been excellent. I received prompt, personalised help with both an employment and family issue and would highly recommend them. Profesional, diligent but most importantly I felt safe in their hands and my questions were heard and attended to.

Very happy with the service

I've been using Russell-Cooke for years for my conveyancing and family related services and have always found them to be honest, direct and efficient. I have recently reinstructed them for another property purchase because I know they will be sensible, realistic and go the extra mile if need be. I would strongly recommend them (and have done to family and friends).

Full marks for Russell-Cooke LLP

We have been clients of Russell Cooke for over 30 years and have always found their service to be professional, friendly and efficient. Recently, Russell Cooke handled the sale of a property where the buyers desired a fast turn around. From accepting the offer to completion Russell Cooke expedited the transaction in just three weeks! Excellent service. Mr & Mrs Taylor
