I have nothing but incredibly positive feedback. Salt not only helped me with what was an incredibly difficult time and case but also made me feel that I had the support to keep on pushing for the end goal.

M&P dealt with my recent divorce. They were knowledgable , however, I had to chase a lot. I had to remind and prioritise their correspondence to avoid missing key deadlines on the other side. I also had a change of solicitor and I am not happy with the handover. Key information was not passed on and I had to fill in lots of gaps and information . Value for money ? No. I did a lot of work myself

We are sorry you feel unhappy with the level of service you received. You were assigned a new solicitor straight away and she drafted the consent order within a week of taking over the file. She did check some details with you but this is to be expected. The solicitor understood what a stressful time this was for you and acted promptly as well as being available for you when required and meeting the deadline. The case was concluded well within the initial costs estimate. We wish you well for the future.

Gepp & sons dealt with my case, everything was explained to me along with the costs & time frame involved in my case. I had a budget & my solicitor advised me from the offset if I was being realistic. I am very happy with the service I received & the outcome of my case.

I am unaware of her name, but the receptionist with blonde hair really put my mind at ease and helped me. Going to the solicitors is not often for a nice reason and she was always so caring and kind. You are very lucky to have her.
