Amazing Service!

My solicitor has been amazing! She has supported me throughout the entire process. Regarding an accident I had gotten into in 2020. Her dedication towards her work, and understanding my situation has really helped me finally reach a settlement.

I’d definitely recommend Demelza for her excellent service and professionalism. It has been a pleasure!

RTA - Personal Injury Claim

I had a bit of a rocky experience in the middle of the claim as the person who was dealing with my case suddenly left and I was not made aware..but as soon as David took over everything ran smoothly, and he was always there for me to ask questions and give me updates. David was very knowledgeable and I believe he did the best he could for my case.

Heather a fantastic asset to the team

After a lengthy process at the start with a previous solicitors Heather took over my case and all I can say is a massive thank you. Heather dealt with the situation very promptly and was always on the end of an email with prompt replies should I have any questions or queries. Heather was professional and can’t thank her enough.

Demelza the super star

Demelza is amazing. She is so talented and efficient at her job. I have to say, she was a fighter for us and a constant professional. If, I ever had to seek legal advice or have someone to sort a situation for me, I would always chose Demelza. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is the best of the best. Coodes are so lucky to have her as a member of staff. Thank you.

5 year legal case

Julie has been my solicitor for the last 5 years following an accident where I was left critically injured. She has been outstanding from the moment we met in hospital, through 5 years of dealing with my case. Communication was always so quick and so efficient, attention to detail and general organisation of the case has been incredible. Not only this but Julie was incredibly patient in explaining things I did not understand she always went the extra mile. I could not recommend her enough.

Went above and beyond with a great result

Demelza looked after me from day 1 with a different firm. She took my case with her to Coodes and worked hard to get a decent result. She had several barriers to go through but thought outside the box and was successful. Her communication was excellent throughout and I could not recommend her any more highly. Thank you.

First class conveyancing service

We were so pleased that we chose Coodes for our house sale and purchase. Kerry Tresidder is clearly a very experienced solicitor and we felt we were in very capable hands throughout. Our house move was not straightforward due to our first buyer falling through and then the vendor of the first property we wanted to buy pulling out. This meant we ended up having a tight timeline to complete on a different property to avoid losing our buyers. Kerry and her team went the extra mile to meet our deadline, but despite working very quickly, they were extremely thorough and picked up a number of things in the searches. Kerry was always quick to respond to emails or calls and if she was ever unavailable, a member of her team was there to pick it up and always knew exactly what was happening with our case. Kerry and her colleagues were very friendly and approachable and never made us feel we were asking silly questions. Communication was clear, prompt and transparent. After a challenging year of trying to move, we were so grateful that Coodes helped to make it all happen.

Extremely professional and friendly service

Kirsty and her team through all their hard work and professionalism have made what was a difficult process easy to understand. Kirsty has in effect held my hand throughout, giving sound advice with a real understanding of this clients needs. Over the period she has become a friend and I would wholeheartedly recommend Kirsty et al to everyone needing legal advice and services.

Wonderful, diligent and expert advice and guidance.

I'll keep this short, we worked with Kirsty and her service was outstanding, could not fault her communication, advice and support!

If you are looking for a solicitor to facilitate the sale of your company then I can highly recommend.

After a few weeks and back and forth sending them documents, filling in their paperwork, they then send a generic email saying they don't have the capacity to continue the case. Not really the professional service I expected when I reached out to them last month.
Save your time and look elsewhere as I will now have to do. I don't quite know how they became the 'leading law firm' that they call themselves ...if they can't even handle the most simple of cases

I have been working with Lisa Brewer on a case for around 6 months which completed last Friday 22nd November after many ups and downs - and her colleague Emma stayed late on Friday to ensure that the transaction completed. Lisa has been fantastic, professional and remained calm at all times. A voice of reason throughout a very long and stressful process. As the estate agent in the chain I was so pleased to have Lisa by my side on this one and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or her colleagues at Coodes. A HUGE THANK YOU ;-)
