Hard sell rather than impartial advice
They listened, ignored and then offered to sell me a duff will option without mentioning future implications. I needed to use the web to discover the facts.

Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE BY CASSIE OWEN
Having bought over 25 properties in the last 2 years, Cassie has been at the heart of this workstream, working with skill, managing multiple projects with speed, efficiency, commercial lateral thinking, with a make it happen not watch it happen mindset. disarming others that are belligerent and intransigent in the buying process with a calm, structured approach and a sense of humour is one of her many skills. An outstanding professional.
