The Most Exceptional Experience

"This was one of the most professional service we have ever had. We've used 2 different Solicitors before for our numerous property purchases over the years but whilst their services were good, nothing could compare to the level of exceptional services provided by Stephen Rimmer LLP,"

Excellent service

I cannot recommend Lucy Vickers highly enough. Watching a close friend go through a deeply stressful family court procedure was incredibly tough, but having Lucy in their corner changed everything.From start to finish, Lucy has been absolutely amazing. She did not just handle the legalities; she truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional support, clarity, and reassurance during an emotional and complex time. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care shone through at every single stage of the process.If you need a family law solicitor who is fiercely competent, deeply compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile for her clients, Lucy Vickers is the person you want representing you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review, Jade. Supporting a close friend through family court proceedings is never easy, and we are deeply moved to hear how much Lucy’s support meant to both of you during such a challenging time. Thank you for taking the time to share your recommendation!

Very Good Service

I used Ben for his family law services to get my divorce. Ben was great but he was very very busy. This led to some delays in answers or my need to chase. But I cannot fault the work he did. Or that of his secretary.

I am so grateful to have been guided and supported by Ben Bradshaw and his barristers. He has been there through all the tough times I faced in court and during the proceedings. He has provided all kinds of support a person needs during court proceedings. And the proceedings ended in my favour and I owe this victory to Ben and all the barristers that supported me in court. 100% satisfied!

We selected Stephen Rimmer to handle conveyancing for our recent home purchase following a thorough search of local and national service providers and were very happy with the service provided. The allocated solicitor Noel kept us informed throughout the process and was relatively prompt responding to queries without making us, as first time buyers, feel like we were asking silly questions. Would not hesitate to instruct for any future conveyancing work.

from Stephen Rimmer LLP

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, Wayne. Noel prides himself on being approachable and responsive. We wish you every happiness in your new home!

I had an excellent experience with Stephen Rimmer Solicitors during the purchase of my first home. The whole process was handled efficiently and professionally from start to finish. Everything was completed quickly, and all the legal paperwork was dealt with smoothly, making what could have been a stressful process much easier. I would highly recommend Stephen Rimmer Solicitors to anyone buying a property. Thank you for making my home purchase such a positive experience.
