Family Law

Fantastic!

I couldn’t recommend Bradley highly enough. I’ll admit, when I first found out how young he was, I was a bit sceptical, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. He was incredibly knowledgeable and always knew exactly what he was talking about. I’ve dealt with a few solicitors over the years, and bradley was the first one who didn’t bury me in legal apeak just to sound clever. He explained everything in a way that actually made sense. I always felt like he really listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand what was important to me. Calm under pressure, persuasive and clearly passionate about what he does. Cornwalls very own Harvey Specter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a family solicitor.

I Rate Bradley 5 star!

Bradley is absolutely amazing! I definitely would recommend him to anyone. He helped me through my court case and he was there every step of the way without fail. I had a long case and he helped me get through the hardest times of mine and my children’s lifes. Now we are at ease and can rest because of him and I can not thank him for all his help and support. 1 million % I would suggest Bradley Kaine.

Redundancy Settlement

I would highly recommend Steph Marsh and Ivelina White, who supported me throughout my redundancy settlement with my previous employer. From the very beginning, Steph was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I understood my options, and provided honest and practical advice throughout the process. Having to deal with a redundancy settlement can be a stressful and uncertain experience, but Steph gave me confidence that my interests were being properly represented. Ivelina was also extremely helpful and efficient throughout. She was always responsive, kept me updated and helped make sure the process moved forward smoothly. The communication from both Steph and Ivelina was excellent, and I always felt that my questions were taken seriously and dealt with promptly. I was particularly impressed by how approachable and supportive they both were. They made what could have been a very difficult process much easier to navigate and ultimately helped me reach a satisfactory outcome. Thank you to Steph and Ivelina for all your hard work and support. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs professional legal advice and assistance with an employment matter.

Great support through tricky times

I have to say that everyone we dealt with at Coodes was fantastic. We dealt mainly with Kerry who was always on hand to answer any questions but also just to confirm that we had actually understood things correctly but also with Deborah and Lottie who were equally helpful. For a process that is highly stressful they made it as easy as it could be from the moment of engagement through to the completion.

Highly competent responsive professional teamwork

We came to Coodes by chance. Lisa and her assistant Sarah have been excellent, taking us as new clients, dealing with our immediate need (property disposal) and responding seamlessly to an expansion of scope and two uncommunicative third parties who had to be proactively pursued to achieve deadlines. Our previous lawyers had retired, and a new option proved less than easy to work with. Coodes with Lisa Robinson and Sarah Highland have proven themselves highly professional, easy to work with, responsive. We plan to stay with them as long as they will have us! Many thanks indeed.

Used for conveyancing and totally brilliant from start to finish. They are certainly not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and we couldn't fault them. We recommend them and would use them again.

We used Kathryn Shaw and Mandy for our sale and purchase of our new property. We highly recommend them, they pushed so hard to get us in as quickly as possible and our purchase was complete in 11 weeks! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend anyone needing conveyancing to contact Coodes

Dear James Thank you so much for taking your time to write this kind review. We were delighted to be able to help you. Coodes
