    Exceptional Support and Professional Service

    I cannot recommend Natasha Moore at Woodfines highly enough. She was professional, approachable and extremely supportive throughout the whole process of my settlement agreement. Natasha explained everything clearly, made sure I fully understood the agreement and its implications, and dealt with matters efficiently while still making me feel that I was being treated as an individual rather than simply another case. It was a stressful and significant time for me, and having someone knowledgeable, responsive and reassuring guiding me through it made a real difference. I felt completely confident in the advice I received. Excellent service from start to finish and I would have no hesitation in recommending Natasha and Woodfines.

    A situation was suddenly put in front of me at work regarding either termination of my employment or a settlement agreement, I was part of the management team, I have used Woodfines solicitors before to deal with a estate I inherited, I contacted Woodfines of Cambridge to see if they could assist me with me with this daunting situation, I had a lovely lady called Michelle Bruce who was extremely professional & reassured me that she could deal with the situation & that she did, Michelle went out of her way to help me and get the the best possible outcome for me financially, Michelle was able to negotiate what I would call a fair compensation sum. I could not recommend Michele Bruce enough, I am just your average working man with a family, if you find yourself in the same situation please do contact Michelle as I can reassure you she will be able to help you get the best possible outcome. Thank you Michelle on behalf of myself and my family.

    not a good experience for me personally I asked their advice on a employee dispute and they took it to Court Ready and then recommended i settle the claim. They could have told me that the first day and I would have saved a massive amount of time and money.

      Conveyancing of my late mothers house.

      Tony and Donna were recommended to me by a friend and existing client of Woodfines to assist with the Conveyancing of my late mother’s house sale. They have been a pleasure to deal with, the process went very smoothly. I would certainly recommend their services and use Woodfines again in the future. Thank you

      IMPORTANT. NOTICE Do not use . I have been waiting for land registry for nearly a year Woodfines quoted £1,200,when completed they took without asking £5,000 . Now they won't answer calls. 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
