Satisfied customers

We can't thank Lisa and her team at Pharaoh Legal Limited enough. They provided clear advice and explained, in detail, the paperwork we were given. I have known Lisa for quite some time and never doubted that herself and her firm would provide a first class service. Many thanks and best wishes to Lisa and her colleagues. We would certainly use Pharaoh Law again, if needed.

Very Short time but made it!

Deborah was quite professional and nice, very direct so it was easy to understand everything she explained to me. We did everything through the phone and e-mail which made things a bit difficult because of miscommunication with the office sometimes but apart from that Deborah was Amazing with the little time we had to get our document reviewed and done. Lisa at the office was lovely as well.

Professional, assuring and

With a multitude of serious life changing issues I contacted Lisa at Pharaoh Law Solicitors & Mediator, to get advice on my issues. Firstly Lisa listened to my plight and issues without judgment, and spoke in language I could understand and was sympathetic to my plight. Because of the gravity of the situation I was uncertain the direction I should go, and despite not fully instructing Lisa off the bat and dragging my heels after a couple of weeks, Lisa offered me a further phone consultation with her colleague more specific to my case, namely a family law partner, so we could get into some finer details to see if they could help me further. Again this was a very informative and helpful conversation, there was no pressure they listened and gave sound advice of which was stuff I did not know about or understand and this was explained to me clearly. Whilst as I write this I never proceeded with action using Pharaoh as my solicitor this was due to financial issues my end, at no point was I made to feel I had wasted their time. Lisa even checked in on me a month after the initial consultation to see if I am ok. From my experience Pharaoh Law Solicitors & Mediator will do whatever it takes to serve your needs, in a sympathetic and professional manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Pharaoh Law Solicitors & Mediator for anything that arises in your life. You never know what’s around the corner, and when it happens be assured Lisa and her team are on your side. And that’s an empowering feeling to have when things get messy! Thanks again!

Dear Tim, Firstly may I offer my sincerest apologies as disappointingly, my response sent to you upon receiving your amazing feedback about the service provided by Debbie and myself had not "uploaded" to the site. We have since spoken however and I expressed my appreciation to you for spending your time providing such a personal, heartfelt testimonial. We always ensure that our clients are thanked for their feedback as this is invaluable in ensuring that potential clients make an informed choice. Thank you for working with us and we wish you all the best for the future. Lisa

We were getting nowhere with previous solicitors and we approached Lisa after reading the good reviews. Lisa immediately reassured us that she could help. Her friendly professional manner was impeccable and within weeks our long outstanding matter was resolved. Lisa and Debbie provided easy communication by phone, email or WhatsApp and were always very quick with a response. The fees were very reasonable and would definitely highly recommend Lisa and the girls at Pharaoh Law.
