Very professional and very approachable

I was extremely impressed with the conveyancing team handling the sale of my mum’s house. From start to finish, they were professional, easy to deal with, and communicated clearly throughout the process. I could always get through to Molly or Deana, who were assigned to us, which made everything much less stressful. I had done a lot of research beforehand to find a firm that would be easy to work with, and they completely lived up to my expectations. I was also very impressed by Carly Jeffery, the solicitor who visited my mum in her nursing home to set up the specific Power of Attorney. She was kind, gentle, and patient with mum. I would be happy to use Brights again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Wills an LPAs

We had our wills written and set up Lasting Powers of Attorney. Carly was great in all our dealings and contacts with her. We were really slow in getting info she requested but she never seemed to lose patience and was unwaveringly friendly and pleasant. We would certainly use this company again.

As usual Carly and her colleagues performed an efficient and timely job in what is (for us anyway) the difficult area of LPAs. Particularly welcome was the excellent communication.

We as a family used Bright Solicitors last year for some legal work.. They were quick to respond to my email request and all subsequent communications with them were courteous, efficient and professional. A big thank you to Carley for arranging the work for us and for guiding my Mum and Dad so patiently through the process involved. I look forward to using your services in the future and I highly recommend you.

My wife and I have been very impressed by the team at Bright Solicitors who have demonstrated excellent service and regular communication to achieve a sale. Katie Braithwaite and her colleague Victoria Witts have dealt with the conveyancing in a very professional and caring manner and Carly Jeffery was always on hand when she was required. Would not hesitate to recommend Bright Solicitors.
