Writing my Will

Zoe was recommended to me by a friend. I found her most helpful easy to talk with and most understanding when I felt a little awkward. She made the whole process quick and easy. I would most certainly use her again and recommend her.

I have already recommended Zoe to family and friends - not just for the personalised and attentive service from the whole team, but for how they helped me navigate major life events (probate, wills) with a comprehensive and professional approach. Although I no longer live locally, Coleman’s / Parfitt Cresswell have been consistently reliable, and I would not have any hesitation to using them for any legal services I might need again in future

I have recently used Alison Kinnersley at Parfitt Cresswell/ Colemans to carry out the conveyancing process on my house sale and purchase. I have been consistently impressed with her professional knowledge and total efficiency in bringing both sale and purchase to completion. I have found both her and her assistant, Kate, to be easily approachable , friendly and extremely hard working. I would confidently recommend her services to anyone requiring an excellent Solicitor for their house conveyancing.

I had an excellent customer experience with Lydia Wawiye of Parfitt Cresswell regarding my Settlement Agreement for redundancy.

Lydia provided clear, concise legal advice, ensuring I understood all aspects of the agreement. Her professionalism, combined with her friendly and approachable demeanor, made a potentially stressful process much more manageable. Lydia's attention to detail and her prompt responses to my queries demonstrated a high level of commitment and expertise.

I would highly recommend Parfitt Cresswell for their exceptional service and dedication to client satisfaction.
