    My family & I use Gard & Co for all our legal matters for Wills, Power of Attorney Trust Funds & most recently the buying & selling of our old & new property. Karen McCormick who dealt with all matters in our purchase, quickly, efficiently & kept us informed regularly on the progress. Anything I didn’t understand with the legal terms Karen always explained it which made it much easier to complete of what seemed endless documents. My brother is now using Karen at Gard & Co to attend to his purchase. Very pleased with the attentive service at Gard & Co.

      Bethany has been brilliant

      I previously used Gard and co to purchase my first home in 2023 and max who works at the firm was absolutely wonderful and so helpful throughout. I then had news my dad passed away last year and without a will, as the child who was aware of his death I felt like all had been left to me to figure out, I reached out to Gard and co for advice and was set up with 30 mins free to speak with Bethany, she was amazing and explained the process and her pricing if she were to deal with it for me; she gave me options of different levels of her control over the estate and ultimately it was decided to leave everything in her capable hands. She updated me where she had news and was always friendly and helpful where I spoke with her on the phone. I couldn’t have done any of this without her and she’s a credit to the firm with her knowledge and understanding. Thank you Bethany you and your firm are wonderful and anything I need in future I’ll be back to use yourselves!

      We decided it was time to get our wills done after putting it off for months. So we contacted Gard & Co as we had used them when buying our house . So we arranged a date for Bethany to come around(i am disabled so it was easier for me). So Bethany arrived and went through everything with us. She was so helpful and now we have signed the wills. It's a relief to know it has eventually been sorted.

      After carefully considering which Plymouth law firm to use for my conveyancing, I decided to go with Gard & Co, and I’m so glad I did. Michelle Pepper turned out to be the best solicitor I’ve ever dealt with. She was exceptionally good at her job and, perhaps most importantly during such a stressful process, had excellent communication skills. If you want a solicitor who is approachable, responsive and keeps you informed, I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough. Buying and selling a house is stressful enough without having a solicitor who is difficult to contact or leaves you wondering what is happening. Michelle was the complete opposite. She was constantly chasing other solicitors, estate agents and everyone involved in the chain when communication was lacking, and she never stopped pushing things forward. There were several points where the whole transaction came very close to collapsing, and without Michelle and the team’s determination, I genuinely don’t think we would have got over the line. They went the extra mile throughout and did everything they could to make what was an incredibly stressful process run as smoothly as possible. My estate agent, Luscombe Maye, were so impressed with Gard & Co that they have now started recommending them to their customers, which I think says a lot. Thank you so much to Michelle and the whole team at Gard & Co. I’m a very happy client, and after this experience I honestly wouldn’t use another law firm or solicitor.

      Hi Russell, thank you so much for your wonderful review. I really appreciate your kind words. I pride myself on trying to take as much stress out of the process as I can for all of my clients and going the extra mile. I hope you and your dog have many happy times together in your new home.

Very efficient and always kept us informed of any changes as and when they were happening so their customer focus is of the highest quality.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you were so pleased with the service provided by Anthony and the Conveyancing Team. Keeping our clients informed throughout the transaction and providing an efficient, responsive service are priorities for us, so it is particularly rewarding to receive such positive feedback.
