Outstanding service from start to finish

My wife and I briefed Pharaoh Law to update our wills. Whereas many law firms would have treated this as a matter of routine process, we received a level of care and attention that exceeded our expectations. Lisa Pharaoh took the brief, made sure that we had thought carefully about the options available to us and answered all our questions. Sharon Edelstyn produced clear drafts of the wills that reflected our wishes exactly. Richard and Molly handled the administration with speed and courtesy. There was a slight hitch in producing electronic copies which required the original wills to be returned. The problem was sorted out within 24 hours and Lisa brought the wills back to our house in person.
Over the years, we have dealt with a variety of law firms. Many of them have been slow, putting their own convenience first, or creating the impression that our affairs were less important than others. It is a refreshing change to deal with such an outstanding company.

Superb

If I could give above the five stars I would.
A solid 10 from me.
Lisa is like you and me, well me anyway. A real person who understands peoples problems without prejudice and judgement.
If you have any work / employment related problems this is the girl to sort you out. Just be honest.
For any others out there, and there are probably a few, just make sure you remunerate her and don't muck about for her invaluable and honest work.Shes earned it.
You wont be disappointed.
Wishing you all the best with all your new and exciting ventures Lisa.
Upward and onward
All the very best for the future.

Review of legal documents

Very positive experience. Lisa was very knowledgeable and explained all aspects of the document I asked for review very clearly to me, so I understood exactly what I was agreeing to. I found this incredibly helpful and really appreciate her assistance and found her easy to communicate with too.

Pharoah Law solicitors go that extra mile and care about your case

I was looking for a solicitor to help me with a property matter and had no idea which one to choose but upon actually speaking with Lisa at Pharaoh Law solicitors I found her to be very empathic and she made me feel at ease, my problem became her goal to get it sorted for me. She truly has a passion for her role which is why I chose to have her take on my case, she even worked on my case whilst she was on holiday because she too wanted the best outcome for me.
If you are looking for a solicitor who actually enjoys their job and genuinely wants to help people then I can highly recommend Pharaoh Law Solicitors.

We can't thank Lisa and her team at Pharaoh Legal Limited enough. They provided clear advice and explained, in detail, the paperwork we were given. I have known Lisa for quite some time and never doubted that herself and her firm would provide a first class service. Many thanks and best wishes to Lisa and her colleagues. We would certainly use Pharaoh Law again, if needed.

Efficient friendly service

I recently contacted Lisa Pharaoh after she was recommended to us by a friend. I was able to get through to Liza on my first call and discussed the problem we had with a will dispute. After a short discussion we arranged a meeting for a few days later. Luckily the will dispute was sorted before the meeting happened. I found that my contact with Lisa and others at Pharaoh Law was very friendly and efficient. If I ever have any other similar problem I will certainly be going back to Pharaoh Law.

Lisa is brilliant.

Lisa has helped me with a couple of work related queries and all have ended as I had hoped. Lisa took the time to fully explain everything to me, and never made me feel as if I was wasting her time or being silly with unnecessary questions. Her patience was very much appreciated. Thank you Lisa.

Very helpful when I telephoned for advice and to book an appointment. Very personable compared to the bigger well known companies, who I found quite difficult to get any help from unless I was an existing client. I will definitely continue to use Pharaoh in the future. Very impressed.
