Patient, approachable, and knowledgeable

Nic was my lawyer in the sale of my house in the UK, while I was living in Australia. Although it was a chainfree sale, it took way longer than expected because of issues at the buyer's end, and of course was complicated by me being in a completely different time zone. Nic was patient in all communications with me, and persistent in navigating the process to ensure we got there in the end. I'm very grateful and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Sale of Property

Very good.
In these days of remote working, it is difficult to make a good rapport with clients.
I feel at least a phone call if not a face to face always helps.
Perhaps older clients who are wary of first names in comms could be referred to by surnames.
Just my comments.
I came to Woodfines because I have been a longstanding client and because they have always looked after me well.
And because they are local to my office.
Thank you.

Sale of Land

We have used Woodfines for several years now, so when I managed to sell a plot of land for my mother in law, who lives 4 hours away, we were delighted to suggest using Woodfines for the legal's and what a great decision it was, clear cut, speedy and extremely professional. Joseph Cowles was really helpful from the first contact, helping to reassure my mother in law, every step of the way and much faster than we thought.

Nic Dino and his team once again did a fantastic job for the sale of my house. This was probably my 3rd house sale/buy through Nic in the last 10 years. Nic guided me through each step, protected my interests and pushed back unacceptable requests from the Buyer's solicitor. and patiently explained risks for any agreement i would like to make. I am very happy with the services from Woodfines Cambridge. I'd give more than 5 stars review to Nic Dino.

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.
