Excellent choice of solicitor

After reading various reviews on different solicitors we decided to go with Nick Ward from Chris Stevenson solicitors.
Nick Ward represented a family member that was wrongly accused of an assault. Through his dedication and professionalism he explained all parts of the process and kept us updated throughout. Although this was quite stressful at times he was very sincere and caring.
Through his hard work and checking the finer details it resulted in the correct verdict of ‘not guilty’. We can’t thank him enough.

Excellent Service and Support Throughout the Process

We had an excellent experience working with Zoe and her team throughout our property purchase. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail made the process smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated their clear communication and support every step of the way.

We were highly impressed with the high standard of service provided and would not hesitate to reach out to them again for any future legal assistance. Highly recommended!

Thank you again for all your help!

Happy costumers.

We have had a very good experience with the Chris Stevenson law firm. Attorney Zoe Hutchinson handled our case. We were in daily contact with Megan Stenley. I can only recommend the law firm. They are patient, up-to-date. We received clear and quick answers to all our questions. We did not feel any disadvantage as foreigners. Thank you very much!

I recently used Chris Stevenson Solicitors for the sale of my property. Zoe was brilliant and made the process extremely straight forward. She was very easy to get in touch with if I had any questions and also very quick to come back to me and/or update me when necessary. Even when there was no update Zoe would reach out to check in, which really filled me with confidence that she was on top of the sale and everything was in order. I would absolutely recommend using Chris Stevenson Solicitors. 11/10 service and support.

I want to say a big thank you to Chris, Oliva, and Shona for the completion of my two properties today. I know you don't ask me to write a review, but I would be ungrateful if I didn't write a review. I just want people to know that we still have reliable Solicitors who are willing to support your business. Thank you, Chris for going out of your way to help our Company meet the Auction deadline today. Thank you for making the completion possible within a week. This was awesome. I will use you again. Thank you so much. Abi

The service we received from Chris Stevenson Solicitors was amazing. We needed some independant advice at short notice and they went above and beyond to make sure we were given an appointment the same week. When we attended everyone was extremely friendly and professional. The advice we were given was very clear and left us with no questions to ask. We found this solicitors by chance but will definitely be using them again and would not hesitate to recommend them,

I recently completed the purchase of my first home with Chris Stevenson Solicitors, and the entire process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to the guidance of Megan and Oliver. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions, but they were always patient, professional, and quick to respond, ensuring I understood every step along the way. Their efficiency meant the whole transaction moved along much faster than I expected, without any unnecessary delays. I truly appreciated their clear communication and proactive approach, which gave me complete confidence throughout. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive solicitor for their property purchase!
