I couldn't have asked for anyone better!

It has been a long journey but I can confidently say it was worth it and I know I wouldn't have got to this point if it wasn't for the dedication, support and compassion that I received over a number of years from Danielle. She is honestly fantastic - she is kind, calm and professional. She kept me up to date, offered me reassure and unbiased guidance. I am so thankful that Danielle was my solicitor.

I couldn't speak more highly of Melanie Bridgen and her paralegal associate Melanie Theakstone. They have both been extremely professional at all times, and have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my case, from start to finish. I have worked with solicitors prior to instructing them, but they are definitely the best by far, they are in fact second to none in their field. They have been kind, compassionate and helpful consistently, they got instant results. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of instructing a legal team to fight their corner. You will be amazed by their level of expertise, and the results they get, all while keeping the fees to a minimum at the same time. Thanks SO much to you both Melanie and Melanie I am hand on heart truly grateful! I am SO glad to have been recommended you by the truly amazing Dr Proudman! Thanks without end ;-)

Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney

Mandip was a pleasure to deal with. Extremely professional. Clearly explained the options accessable to us and took the time to ensure we understood each element of the paperwork involved. This was most important as my husband is profoundly deaf and uses BSL to communicate.

This will be our second time of requesting the services of Amanda Voakes. We tracked her down, as she had moved on from her previous law firm and can honestly say, that we made the completely right decision to do so! Amanda always demonstrates immense compassion, whilst dealing with such delicate / personal matters, which accompanied by her extensive knowledge and professionalism, (being second to none) make Amanda the only Solicitor that we would trust implicitly to work with. We would recommend Amanda without any hesitation whatsoever! Thank you so very much Amanda, for managing to achieve the unimaginable, in such record time for us on this occasion.

from Nelsons Solicitors Limited

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and heartfelt review. There is no greater compliment a solicitor can receive than a client tracking them down to instruct them a second time. We are absolutely delighted that you did, and it is fantastic to hear that Amanda achieved such an incredible result for you in record time. Amanda’s rare combination of immense compassion for delicate, personal matters and her "second to none" professionalism is exactly what makes her such a valued member of our team. Knowing that she has earned your implicit trust and highest recommendation means the world to us. I will be sure to pass your beautiful message along to Amanda, who will be deeply touched by your words. Thank you for your continued loyalty, and please know that we are always here for you whenever you need us.

Very Professional, friendly Experience . Mandip addressed all our questions with clarity and demonstrated patience. She acted promptly to our emails and delivered replies quickly and efficiently . She is a very pleasant lady and nothing was too much trouble . Mandip gave us the Confidence to make several changes which we had not considered to be more appropriate for meeting our needs. We thought the Meeting Rooms were very modern, clean and bright and particularly liked the Refreshments offered. Thank you

I have been using Nelsons for financial and investment advice for many years and have always been very pleased with their service. Most recently Nathan Richardson has helped me and my husband through the myriad of options open to us on our retirement and to broaden our thinking and approach as to which funds to use for income and which for investments. We were very happy with the suggestions which were tailored to our risk profile and are already paying dividends (if you pardon the pun)! Would recommend.
