Frustration

The winding up of my mother's estate seemed to take forever, 3 1/2 years to be exact! I can accept that she died out of the UK but the delays seemed inordinately long. I wrote on 2 separate occasions to find out why it was taking so long and didn't even receive the courtesy of a reply, not a very good advert for legal efficiency!

In the Estate of the late Terence Sweet

I was very happy with the services I received from Aimee Edwards at Coodes solicitors when dealing with the estate of my late father. Aimee was very professional and efficient. I needed to contact her with queries from time to time and found her to be very helpful, kind and she always came back with a prompt reply. All the staff with whom we dealt were always pleasant and helpful.

Aimee was very helpful from the beginning. She answered any queries very promptly and explained exactly what the legal procedure was. My mother’s estate went to Probate quickly and was back in a month enabling us to move on with the will. I would thoroughly recommend Aimee personally.

Great service from Coodes, I was recommended them to handle the affairs of my late mother. Bernadette dealt with the probate work and has been excellent in doing this, with good, professional, friendly communication all the way. Conveyancing for the sale of the house was handled by Sophie Jones and Debbie Mills. Again, they both provided an excellent, professional, helpful and friendly service. Thanks to all the Coodes team!

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.
