Thank you to the team at Wakesmith, Sheffield, for handling the sale of the house. Bonita and the team were helpful and friendly throughout the selling process. Sude supported the sale throughout by providing a professional, honest and reliable service and was always on hand to answer any queries we had. Would definitely recommend to others looking to buy or sell in the area.

From the day we first approached Wake Smith in 2014 to assist us with a complex case, we have developed a tremendously productive and supportive relationship that covers commercial, HR, contractual, property and IP protection law and general advice. We would highly recommend them on any of these areas.

Overall good service,I could get through most times and get the answers I needed Lisa was very informative and always got back to me ,however one criticism is that on a few occasions certain members of staff were simply not in the office or working half days so that was a bit frustrating when you needed answers.
A representative from Wake Smith Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 30 May, 2025:
Thank you for your feedback, Philip. We're glad Lisa was helpful and informative throughout. We appreciate your comments regarding availability and will take this on board to improve our service.

I contacted Vicky at Wakesmiths for a quote for selling my business. She facilitated calls with 2 separate solicitors who gave great advice. I found the team to be genuinely down to earth and very informative. I would recommend them to others seeking help and advice.

Lindsey, along with her support Vicky, provided exceptional service that was both professional and compassionate. Given my personal circumstances, I sought legal advice from several solicitors, and the service I received from Lindsey was by far the best. The responsiveness was also excellent. I highly recommend their services.

5* to everyone at Wake Smith who have helped me with the probate of my mum’s estate. With special thanks to Sherelle O’Brien who’s been with me throughout and given me all the help and advice I could ever need in such a sensitive time. Also thanks to the lovely reception girls who walked me down to navigate their underground car park! I’ll certainly recommend Wake Smith and use you again if I need any more advice. Many thanks again, Sally Stevenson 😊
