Absolutely Fantastic Service

First time we have used Darwin Gray and would certainly use again. Siobhan Williams is a fantastic Senior Associate. She handled the sale of our business, kept us informed at all times, was really helpful, really simplified the process and always fought our corner. Her communication was second to none, even responding late into the evenings. I cannot rate Siobhan highly enough, fantastic service.

Knowledgeable, friendly and reasonable Insolvency Specialist Solicitor

Having used Darwin Gray on a number of insolvency related issues I have always found Kate and her team to be extremely professional, and able to provide very clear advice. They will always look to find a solution without the need (if possible) to resort to litigation in order to keep costs down and maximise recoveries for the estate.
Kate and her team are also very friendly and easy to discuss matters with.
I would highly recommend Kate and her team for any insolvency related matters.

Mr Patrick Murphy helped me navigate a difficult probate issue where my sister went back on her word and signed agreement. His professional manner helped me immensely and he was always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend his services.

Absolute professionalism

Fflur Jones of Darwin Gray is simply invincible. Extremely well-informed in her field, an attentive and empathetic listener, truly conscientious and collaborative... I consider myself so very lucky that I got my case handled by her, who did so with utmost professionalism. I cannot recommend her and Darwin Gray enough.

I used Darwin Gray recently and found their service to be outstanding, and great value. Owen John was both extremely responsive and also incredibly patient and thorough in his explanations of the finer details. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm. 5 stars well deserved.

(Translated by Google) We as a family would highly recommend this company. They are professional, supportive, honest and highly experienced in their field. For us, Siôn Fon and Rhodri Lewis looking a fantastic team. Thank you so much that it was a stressful road and we would not have seen the end of it without you.

Thank you very much to you both, this was a very long process and without the support and best help of Siôn Fon I would be very sober on us, please don't ask for help from this team, 100 % you will get the best.
