Professional and Helpful

I recently worked with Coodes regarding an amendment to my late mother’s will, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the service provided. From the outset, they were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive—always quick to answer any questions and explain the legal details clearly. What stood out most was the compassion and sensitivity shown throughout the process. This was an emotional time for our family, and Coodes handled everything with great care and respect. Their guidance made a difficult situation much more manageable, and I felt fully supported every step of the way. I highly recommend [Solicitor’s Name/Firm] to anyone needing expert legal advice delivered with genuine empathy.

Breach of contract

Ms Scoular failed to act upon my instructions and has caused considerable additional stress. I was advised to report her to the law society, she acknowledged her error by reducing her fees. In addition to this I was only aware that both her and her secretary were on leave when I received an out of office reply to my queries. I would not recommend her or her firm.

The provision of my Will was completed to my instructions with care. I made a mistake with my original instruction but this was rectified quite easily. The Solicitor explained everything and I had no concerns on completion.

Terrible... Arrived 20 minutes early for a scheduled 2pm meeting. After 50 minutes of waiting, there was still no sign of the solicitor becoming available, or justification given for the delay. The whole experience was very unprofessional. Lots of gossiping going on in the waiting area by the staff which inspired no confidence in the business as a whole or their ability to handle our business. We walked out...

Dear Mr Holmes We are sorry to note your comments. Could we ask you to telephone Mr Alistair Whyte through our freephone number 0800 328 3282 so that we may investigate further. Kind regards. Coodes

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
