My partner used wollens for the past 5 years for a personal injury claim his solicitor was Katherine pinnegar and I couldn't recommend her enough she was amazing and got me through such a hard and tiring time she fought tirelessly to get me justice even after the case,she stuck with me until all the financials where completed and I appreciate everything she done for me it was more than just a case it was closure and my freedom to move on if I could give more than 5 stars I would
Thank you for your feedback - we are so pleased that Catherine has been able to help you. With best wishes Wollens
When we first contacted Liz with the issue before us, it was pretty daunting, but we were convinced that something had to be done, especially when the health authority didn't acknowledge any "learning" from their investigations, and as such, others could experience similar problems when in their care. Liz put us at ease from that first contact and it was like discussing the situation with an old friend, albeit in this case a very knowledgeable old friend. We have been kept informed at every stage and although we have never met Liz or Catherine they have prompted us and kept us informed at all times. When you are faced with a dilemma it's good to know that you can depend on the caring approach that Liz and Catherine offer at Wollens.

We were lucky enough to have Liz at Wollens work on our son’s medical negligence claim. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Liz was both friendly and professional and ensured we understood every part of the process. Their professional services meant we successfully settled.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

Nadia Irwin at Wollens is some kind of superhero in disguise. I am a first time buyer in my 40s and whilst getting all of our information together was a breeze, unfortunately the vendors solicitors were nowhere near as efficient or organised which caused us weeks of headaches. Nadia was amazing though and kept me up to date every step of the way and really fought my corner against the vendors solicitors who were just totally unreasonable. Before I appointed a solicitor for my purchase, everyone told me that I wouldn't have a good experience and that whoever I chose would be hard work and that I would need to constantly push for results, but it couldn't have been further from the truth. If you are looking for a friendly, professional and efficient solicitor with great communication for your house purchase/sale then look no further.

Steve and Nicky were incredible during our recent house purchase. Their communication was clear throughout, which made a stressful process much easier to manage. We were working to a very tight deadline and weren’t sure it would be achievable, but thanks to their hard work and organisation, it was. Steve was consistently thorough, professional, and reassuring, and he even brought a bit of humour to the more challenging moments, which we really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve, Nicky, and the wider Wollens team. If we ever move again, we’ll be using them without question.

After a lengthy time trying to buy a home in North Devon and 3 properties falling through, I decided to use Nadia at Wollens as I was impressed with her work when she was conveyancing for someone else on another property that I had been trying to buy. Management companies that oversee buildings and estates are becoming more commonplace nowadays and at times they don't make things easy, but Nadia worked hard to make sure things worked. Nadia is highly recommended.
