Thomson Snell

Good, pragmatic, sensible advice, delivered with empathy and realism by Desmond O’Donnell. He is always fast and responsive and knows how to run a file efficiently and is honest about where and how costs increase and how to avoid this, the other side permitting. Worked well with Counsel and picked excellent Counsel

Helpful, friendly and professional

Apart from the initial consultation (via a video call), it was all done by phone and email. Language was not too jargon-filled but precise. Desmond kept on top of the case and provided regular appropriate updates.

I went in for a standard statutory declaration witnessing, costing only £5, but having not done it before I came unprepared - only with a digital copy. Desmond and the lovely woman at the reception showed great patience and printed the form off for me, as well as checking it for mistakes and giving guidance on how to post it and who to. Very down to earth behaviour from the oldest law firm in the world - will definitely use them if I ever find myself in a stickier legal situation

Huge thank you to Desmond O’Donnell and the team at TS&P. Desmond has been a huge support to me and offered exceptional legal advice - truly helped me during a very difficult situation. His kindness and exquisite knowledge of the law and how to deal with very narcissistic personalities was a godsend. Thank you Desmond and team - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Desmond or TS&P extremely professional service.
