Absolutely brilliant solicitors

I cannot speak highly enough of Clark Willis. Alister and Rachael responded quickly and competently. They were warm and reassuring. As a first time buyer, I found them to be thorough, trustworthy and gave me absolute confidence

Excellent service, highly recommended

I used Nicola Merson to deal with my divorce who was very professional, explained everything clearly to me and dealt with matters very swiftly and promptly. I was always kept in the loop with everything and advised of the progress. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola if you need assistance with your divorce

I cannot thank and recommend Nicola Merson Family Solicitor enough! She has been fantastic at dealing with a child arrangements order and specific issues order for me with a successful outcome at the courts. I will be forever grateful for your kindness, professionalism, communication and all round support. I couldn’t have done it all without her! She really understood and listened and her knowledge was outstanding. She was the calm to the storm I was facing and put me at ease and she is an asset to the Clark Willis Team.

I was very well supported with my divorce by Tanya Bloomfield. We worked on getting the goals clear at the beginning, avoided any acrimony and reached a fair settlement. Even when seeking a non-contentious divorce, it's still a very difficult process and well worth finding a solicitor who adopts a mediation approach rather than seeking a win-lose outcome.

My wife and I have now used Clark Wills solicitors multiple times now for both the purchase and selling of properties when moving home. We were appointed Alister both times and how glad we are, that we did! We were kept informed at all times, and any questions were answered quickly and promptly on the occasions Alister wasn’t available Rachel was more than happy to help support. We have recommended friends to Clark wills also, after hearing and experiencing poor service from other solicitors I am so glad we have come across this gem of a firm. Thank you again the Hodgsons

We recently used Clark Willis Solicitors, Northallerton as our conveyancing solicitors for our house purchase and we couldn't have asked for a better service. ‎A special thanks to Faye and her team - Faye was absolutely fantastic throughout. As first-time buyers, myself (Phoebin) and my wife Lincy had so many questions, but Faye was always so patient, professional and quick to respond. She kept us updated at every step and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which really put us at ease. ‎ ‎The entire team at Clark Willis was so friendly, efficient and supportive. They made a potentially stressful process feel very smooth and well-managed. ‎ ‎We are so grateful for all their hard work in getting us to completion. Highly recommend Faye and the team at Clark Willis!

Clark Willis and Faye in particular were brilliant with me and my partner in the whole property purchase process. All questions and uncertainties were answered and resolved quickly and politely, with no feeling of annoyance in any way. Whenever guidance was needed they were happy to help and direct us and maintained excellent communication to ensure everything was done efficiently and accurately.

Five star service from Clark Willis for our flat conveyancing! Alister gave me a great first impression with his warm, calm, professional manner and provided me with an immediate fixed fee. From there, Jo and Marie managed the sale seamlessly. Their communication was superb, and the whole process went so smoothly that I never had to chase them once. An amazing team that I highly recommend! Thank you so much!
