Many thanks for your positive feedback Patricia. It really is appreciated. Should you have any issues in the future please do not hesitate to contact us.

I made a formal complaint against Kingsfords after an awful few months trying to dispute my mother’s Will, executed by my greedy sister who left me just 8%. Kingsfords’s performance was patchy to lazy and downright rude. Their compliance officer of all people refused to send a PDF to my bank which they needed to receive my tiny portion. So after overseeing a travesty of justice they were slow and hard to get hold of, even though I live in Tokyo and they knew the dispute had given me two panic attacks. The compliance officer sniffed: “I’m too busy to send PDFs” despite knowing that unless she did I wouldn’t get my money. Not content with being disrespectful and rude to a client she then HUNG UP ON ME!! I made a formal complaint. The internal “investigation” concluded there was no wrongdoing! Of course it did. It was a farce, covering their bases behind bare-faced misrepresentations of the events and weak obfuscation a child could see through. My next stop will be the ombudsman and as a career journalist (Reuters among them) I have a piece ready to find a publication, so prospective clients can be warned what to expect.

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude and praise for the excellent job which Daniel Crook did in helping and advising me in my role as Executor. It involved responding to a potential dispute raised by my sister which, given the family connection, was always going to be a very delicate matter, requiring the right balance of warm co-operation and unflinching firmness. Not only did I find Daniel's technical legal advice clear and practical at all times but it was also easy to discuss and agree tactics and so find the right way forward. Daniel was also very pleasant, pragmatic and efficient to deal with. This all contributed to being able to reach a successful conclusion. Brilliant.

Thank you for leaving such a positive review. All feedback is very important to us. We may use your phrase "Where other say no, Kingsfords say yes" as a marketing strap line! We are happy to be of assistance as needs arise.

Cannot recommend Kingsfords highly enough for their help with my complex case. We won, thanks to their expertise and support. Anything I did not understand, was graciously explained in lay persons terms. Daniel, Susan, Edward, and Thomas, not forgetting Ian, all were amazing throughout the case. I am so pleased this solicitor was recommended to me, and that I chose this solicitor to assist me. Thank you

Daniel Crook helped and advised me defend a difficult will dispute which the claimant dragged out intermittently over more than 2 years. Daniel always responded quickly and efficiently and set out my options clearly and concisely, always mindful of my own thoughts and views. I would definitely use Daniel again in this and any such matter

I was recommended Kingsford's, specifically Daniel, to help in a difficult and upsetting codicil dispute. At each step in the process, he was professional, knowledgeable and meticulous: I was kept informed of developments on a regular basis, and the outcome of the case has been favourable. In a world where service across many sectors has deteriorated, this firm stands out for its efficient and friendly approach. I cannot recommend Kingsford's highly enough.

Navigation of a contract was rapidly and effectively handled by Mr Crook. He immediately ascertained my concerns, explained the points of law and alleviated matters with clarity and reassurance. His secretarial team are highly efficient, responsive and kind. I highly recommend this firm and I am thankful to know that such a team of professionals are there. I recommend their exemplary service.
