Outstanding Service – Completed in Just 6 Weeks!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Janek at GoodLaw Solicitors for the purchase of our flat, and he exceeded every expectation. Janek is meticulous, highly knowledgeable, incredibly reliable, and—most importantly—genuinely caring. He brought a rare human touch to a process that’s usually all paperwork and stress.

Not only did he keep us fully informed and reassured every step of the way, but he also managed to complete the entire process in just six weeks—an absolute record! His calm professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence were clear from day one.

We cannot recommend Janek highly enough. With his sharp legal mind and thoughtful approach, he has a brilliant future ahead—and we feel very lucky to have had him by our side for this important milestone in our lives.

Great experience as first time property buyers

Many thanks to Janek Malysko and Megan Croydon Miles in assisting and guiding us through the purchase of our first home.
The process of buying a first property can be quite intimidating and complex, and Janek went above and beyond to support us in all the queries and doubts we had along the way. Being very professional and responsive, he ensured we were moving towards completion at a steady pace.
Thanks to this support we were able to be excited about becoming homeowners and keep calm knowing that professionals are taking care of the rest. We will be using GoodLaw Solicitors for all future matters and will recommend them to friends!

Awful experience - felt like I was emailing an AI machine

Every step of the experience was hard and stressful. I felt like I was speaking to an AI machine, who had no customer account management training, and simply did not care or want to help me through the journey. These companies churn this process everyday, so should be offering to making things easier and offer expertise. For the customer, most people do a sales process rarely and it is quite daunting being given pages and pages of information. I did not feel like I had a helping hand at the other end of the email (they pretty much refused to pick up the phone). My contact, lacked attention to detail, often hadn't read things properly and was asking me things I had already answered. They never tried to build any kind of relationship, even when I said I was feeling a bit stressed. When I tried to set up a call to help things, he kept pushing back (talking, even if a quick phone call can clear things quickly and help to build a relationship). After nearly losing the sale, I gave up on my contact at Goodlaw and went directly to the vendors solicitor, and thankfully rescued the sale. They went on holiday without telling me, I felt patronised, they completely lost my trust, not reading things properly. They over complicated things. I can honestly say, they have no idea about the customer. It was utterly awful. I noted that he does not have any reviews on their website, maybe if I had someone else it would have been better.

Hi Natalie. I’m really sorry to hear about your difficult experience. It’s clear that the process was frustrating and stressful for you, and it’s disappointing to hear that you didn’t receive the level of support and attention you expected. Your feedback is valuable and highlights areas where we need to improve. If you’d like to discuss this further or if there’s anything we can do to address your concerns, please let us know. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to ensure that future clients have a better experience.

Costumer care from Janek and Megan was amazing, very easy to talk and all the questions were answered and explained. The process was extremely quick and easy. They kept in touch at least 2-3 times a week, gave us updates, we didn't have to chase them at all.

I had a bad experience before with another company the sale process took ages and we had to chance them for updates all the time.

This won't happen with Good law solicitors they are extremely professional and go above and beyond. We will definitely use them again. We are Very pleased with the process and would recommend in without any hesitation. Definitely gained a returning customer.

Huge thanks to Janek and Megan.

Truly excellent service from start to finish - almost 4 years! James King was highly professional; assembled a top team of experts; and kept us in touch throughout the long process. Sad circumstances under which we had dealings with GoodLaw, but James did us justice and is highly recommended.
