Stephen Coates has dealt with my legal matters now for over 20 years, so I was not surprised by the care and efficiency in which our issues were handled. I'm pleased that Taylor Bracewell has Stephen and with the firm's support and operations for him.

First rate service as usual

Initially unsure about internet conveyancing but later found the personal touch still remained. Special thanks to Stephen Coates and Sarah in the Trust team and Mark Walton and Becky in the conveyancing team. After about 40 years of going to Taylor Bracewell for any legal questions I am more than happy to continue to do so.
