About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Stress Free friendly & professional
You hear of so many poor experiences with solicitors so when you have a really good one the world needs to know! From start to finish Lisa Barnett at Coodes handled everything with speed, efficiency and professionalism. Moreover she was a friendly reassuring voice who helped me to keep calm in what could be an otherwise overwhelming and stressful situation. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough and urge anyone who needs their conveyancing handled in a timely and professional manner to get in touch with her without delay. 5* from me, thank you Lisa x

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

I had the opportunity to work with Sophie Jones during my house purchase, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Throughout the process, Sophie was consistently professional, responsive, and helpful. She answered all of my questions clearly and put my concerns at ease. Thanks to her support, everything was completed within an excellent timeframe. I highly recommend Sophie’s services to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive solicitor.

Helped alleviate the stress from dealing with employment law case
Steph and Ivelina were great. We had a call to discuss the case, and from that point Steph kept in contact throughout negotiations with the employer…managed to get the offer increased to a satisfactory resolution in a timely manner. It was the efficient communication that really supported in what is a daunting process that was the stand out in using Steph and Ivelina. Thank you again!
