Outstanding service taking the pain out of legal matters
Although not being a legal professional I do have some experience of contracts. I created my own Pre Nuptial Agreement from using a template on the internet, which I sent to Elite Law with the objective of review, feedback and formal advice.
When requesting quotes from various solicitors, I typically got a standard response that painted a 'worst-case' picture and a figure to match. Elite Law responded to me extremely quickly with a personal email that gave me confidence they had understood my requirements, the scope of work and had given me an appropriate estimated cost.
I was given an estimate between two figures, or given an option of a fixed cost which was somewhere in between. I went for the fixed cost option, and for me it helped reduce my stress to know every time I sent them an email I wasn't going to be charged a fortune.
The onboarding process was all electronic, easy and quick. I downloaded an app to my iPhone, allowing me to upload all my identification documents so my file could be opened.
The thing that made them different for me was Brian Fraser gave me very detailed phone advice/emails that as a client I could understand. He set my expectations around next steps which he then delivered against, or if required would then reset them as needed. It was such a refreshing experience NOT to be leaving endless messages for a call back like I have in the past with other solicitors.
I couldn't recommend Brian and Elite Law enough and would happily use them again in the future.

Brian Fraser - highly recommended.
I instructed Brian Fraser to act for me during my divorce proceedings after over 3 years, 5 different lawyers and several thousand pounds paid to a big name London firm. I had not needed to use a lawyer before in this way so didn’t really know if the service I was getting was any good. I just knew that divorces were traditionally difficult situations to navigate. As time went on it was clear that their less than empathetic approach and tone of their correspondence was doing nothing to progress a settlement. It was clear that I was just another case and without a huge budget to try and focus their efforts I was at a loss.
Thankfully, a friend recommended that I speak to Brian and I am so glad that I did. I was immediately impressed at the first meeting when Brian demonstrated an understanding of the main issues and formulated a pragmatic plan to reach a settlement. The agreed rates were cheaper than I had been previously paying. Brian assured me that mine was a simple case to deal with and was confident that an agreement could be reached within a matter of weeks. Given my previous experience I was not convinced if I’m honest but Brian’s refreshing approach and the fact he had been personally recommended gave me some hope.
Brian’s communication with me was straightforward and to the point, focusing on the matters at hand and explaining my options in layman's terms. Remarkably, in 2 months an agreement for financial settlement was reached with the decree absolute being issued by the court 3 months later in January 2024.
I cannot thank Brian enough for the work that he put into my case and for the approach that he took. If you are about to instruct or already in the process and think that your current lawyer could be doing more to progress your divorce, I have no hesitation in recommending Brian to you for a first class service.
