Efficient and Compassionate

The sale of our parents' home where they had lived and we had holidayed for 28 years was never going to be easy. Cath has been highly professional and dedicated, giving us sufficient information to keep the sale moving forward smoothly but not bombarding us. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

As an estate agent with no previous relationship with this firm, (I’m based in Cambridge) I think I am well placed to say how impressive they are. It is so refreshing to work with a proactive solicitor on conveyancing matters. Efficient and highly professional. I would strongly recommend this company and Catharine Morrison in particular to anyone that want excellent representation and the speediest transaction possible. Five stars from me!

Excellent Service of Will Administration

Rutters explained all we needed to know regarding my father's will and when I had questions it was easy to contact my solicitor and talk it through.
