Excellent service
I used Greene & Greene Solicitors to obtain a copy of a divorce certificate and to have the same notarised and then legalised by the Foreign Office. The service that I received throughout was excellent. Great advice, great communication, I couldn't have asked for better

Conveyancing Service
As executor of my late Great Aunt's will, I needed a conveyancing solicitor to act for the sale of her house in Bury. Born in bury in 1928, she had worked as secretary for a Mr V D M Hall at Greene & Greene as a school leaver, so they were my first choice. I asked for a second quote and Greene & Greene were slightly more competitive, which was great news. Tim Fox (who remembers Mr Hall) has been a pleasure to deal with. He has acted swiftly and efficiently and answered any queries in a very timely manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Greene & Greene; Thank you Tim!

Excellent notarial services
We have used Selene Holden's services for all of our notarial requirements for a number of years, we wouldn't go anywhere else. We are always able to meet with Selene at a time and place that suits us and receive a prompt turnaround of any documents, including those which require further attestation.

Greg was recommended to me by a friend, and his approach to my employment situation was incredibly calming, well thought-out, and balanced. He was always available and on hand when I needed him, and I always felt he would fight hard for my corner. In a stressful situation, Greg guided me through the possible outcomes and helped me see the bigger picture. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg and Greene & Greene to anyone who will listen.

I recently required notarial services and contacted Greene & Greene this month, having first enquired about their services two years ago, when I was most impressed with their attentiveness, though ended up not requiring any services at that time. I am so glad I returned to them, as they really were a delight to deal with. Both the Notary Public, Selene Holden, and Notary Secretary, Debra Knights, addressed all relevant matters very quickly, such that everything was in place for our notarisation appointment, three days after I called. Highly professional, swift and friendly service throughout.

After having the displeasure of dealing with some less than competent conveyancers in the past, my partner and I somewhat aprehensively instructed Greene & Greene to act for us in the purchase of a paddock for our horse in October 2024.
I have to say, Ellice and James have altered our perception of how solicitors behave.
Ellice was pleasant to deal with, efficient, knowledgeable and a great communicator. The transaction completed ahead of target, on bugdet and with very little stress.
On the day of completion we met the vendor, who took the trouble to comment at how smooth and pain-free the transaction was.
Ellice and James are a credit to the company, and the profession.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
