Very professional and courteous

I contacted Darwin Gray as a result of being made redundant and the service I received was both professional and friendly, and every question I asked (daft ones included!) was answered politely and clearly.

I'm very happy with the service I had from Nicole Brendel and the team, and I would happily recommend them.

Excellent support from Emily

I worked with Emily Shingler to review my existing Terms of Business and Engagement Letter to ensure they were up-to-date and legally appropriate, whilst including our customer-focus and natural warmth in the way we work. Emily did a great job. We worked together on various versions of the draft and Emily's advice was pitch perfect. Thanks Emily for your support.

Best Decision Of My Life Was to Use Patrick Murphy at Darwins

.... Just wonderful service, support, explanations and advice throughout.
Patrick was easy to talk to, always approachable, always contactable and non judgmental.
Accurate, quick advice provided at initial inquiry phone call stage which constantly continued right through until the final bill was paid.
Exquisite! What else can I say? Patrick at Darwin did not take one wrong step! My problematic case was turned around and settled within just over 6 months!

Nice job steering us through this problem . You’re always advising us spot on but I was concerned about this being a potential difficult case due to the individual’s influence/time served. Much appreciated

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.
