    Driving offences

    Mike Hayward- highly recommended

    Through several meetings Mike strategised how my case would progress. We discussed all the options and came to a decision on what to do. We came out of court with a better than expected outcome. Mike also dealt with the DVSA, to ensure I could continue with my role as a driving instructor. I have just had the email from the DVSA confirming I can continue as Driving Instructor. I can not thank Mike sufficiently, he is extremely well versed in the law! Without Mike I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to continue in my chosen career. Many thanks again.

    I've used Woodfines both personally, and in business. I'm not going to pretend they're cheap, but no firm of solicitors is. They are always thorough & supportive though, their advice is good, they act honourably, and I've always been happy with the specialists appointed to act on my behalf.

    We wanted to find a local solicitor to help us with purchasing our first house. Of the solicitors we approached, Woodfines gave us a very detailed quote for the work which was immensely helpful when planning fiances and costs for the next few months. Nic Dino worked exceptionally hard for us, especially so when the sellers solicitors gave half-replies and unnecessary difficulties through the transaction. I am incredibly pleased having chosen Woodfines and would absolutely make that same choice again given the opportunity and will use Woodfines for any future work I might need. Thank you once again Nic for your seemingly unending patience, hard work and getting us into our new home. R & S

    Contacted Woodfines 2 yrs ago with a Medical situation and was interviewed by Miss Hannah Johnson . What can I say?... some people find solicitors very daunting and a bit scary and I was one of them, I was put at ease from the first moment. Friendly, with a good professional courtesy manner. They tell you exactly what you want to know, nothing is hidden and no question is regarded as silly or daft. I would not hesitate to contact them again on any subject and wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone. Miss Hannah was fantastic and I send warm regards to her.

      Sale of Business

      I have used Woodfines Solicitors for over 10 years now. But when selling your own Business that you have built from scratch, you need expert advice and support. I knew that to a degree, but until you sell a business you have know idea of actually is involved. The way Neil Gibbs and his wonderful team supported the sale process and worked to an extremely tight deadline was incredible. The level of knowledge, expertise, experience and commitment they showed was amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a similar process.

      Land registry

      I had a land registry done at woodfines by Suzanna I was quoted £1,200 but they changed me £5,000 on day of completion I disputed the cost but they took the money without consent. Now reported to ombudsman and Suzanna won't answer my calls as guilty of fraud.

Do not use . I have now found out that it it normal for Suzanna to do this. I have reported to law society but I understand this will take a bit of time. Paul Evans
