Jayanthie was very easy to work with and extremely clear about what was required with regard to the rewriting of our wills and LPAs - and provided practical and simple advice without "legalese". The process has been simple, efficient and easy.

Emily, just a BIG thank you!

"I was introduced to Emily through a mutual work contact. From the outset, I found Emily to be very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable. She consistently kept me informed about the progress of my case. Emily was always available, and if she couldn't take my call at any given time, she promptly followed up with clear communication, effectively managing my expectations. I would highly recommend Emily and the team at Couchman Hanson Solicitors to anyone seeking a swift and positive response."

15 minute walk in advice session

We saw the notice, walked in and were treated with great professional kindness from the very beginning by Abbie. We were given a range of possible dates and were able to arrange a suitable meeting with a solicitor for the following week. We then met with Jim and Natalie who had already been briefed and were well prepared for our meeting. Natalie was able to outline the possible issues and outcomes and we left feeling more informed and able to proceed. Although our enquiry could not be deal with by Couchman Hanson, Natalie recommended an appropriate colleague in a different practice.

Excellent first class service. Jim initially in the office and then Louise who specialises in Family Law. Would highly rate this company. Far better then other solicitors whom I had dealings in the past.

Extremely helpful staff. Went out of their way to help me after my solicitors had given me the wrong forms. They were only supposed to be witnessing a declaration. Definitely use them in the future and recommend them to my friends.

re-open but in the meantime we will keep having their take aways.

Shanthi acted for my family, in dealing with the estate of my late father. We found Shanthi and her staff very friendly, helpful and professional. They were very efficient and took far less time than we expected, to finalise everything, even though the Covid-19 situation required them to do some of the work from home. We found their charges very reasonable too.
We have no hestation in recommending Rosemary Smith Solicitors and we will certainly use their services again should the need arise.
