Adrian Sharpin is an excellent lawyer. He responds promptly, is efficient, easy to understand and knowledgeable. He helped me navigate legal issues and provided the information I needed to make decisions. He explained the legal issues to my elderly mother carefully, thoroughly and with compassion.

We cannot recommend Anna Clarke and Lewis Lambert at Stephen Rimmer LLP Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, they were dedicated, approachable, and professional, handling both the sale and purchase of our properties with complete commitment. Their communication was excellent — always prompt via email and phone, answering any queries we had clearly and reassuringly. It was evident throughout that they were working tirelessly on our behalf, and their efficiency made the whole process far less stressful. We wouldn’t use or trust anyone else. Thank you, Anna and Lewis, for your outstanding service! Olivia and Olie

I would recommend Sophia at Stephen Rimmer solicitors, who has been dealing with my late uncles estate. She has always been quick to respond to any queries I have had. I have always received a very professional and friendly service and have been kept up to date throughout the process.

Emily was amazing from start to finish which also included one false start due to delays by the buyer but Emily stayed with us and guided us through what could have been a very stressful journey. So much of the work was done by Emily without any fuss and her confidence began to rub off on us too. We exchanged, completed and moved into our new home within a week of each other and couldn't be happier with the role Emily played in getting us to this stage. Emily Reed is a star and happy to recommend her to anyone and everyone. There is always an amazing team of people who help deliver such great outcomes and we know they were there helping Emily but she was our primary point of contact and Stephen Rimmer should be proud of all its people and particularly of Emily.

I recently used this company for a probate case, it has taken 4 years to complete, very difficult to get response to queries and received very poor service

We always try to give the best service possible and it is disappointing to learn when our levels of services fall short. We are now in contact and looking to resolve these issues.
