Fantastic from start to finish

My family have been using Stephen Rimmer as our solicitors for the last few years and it is due to the professional and prompt service they provide. Jack, in particular, has always had brilliant communication and kept us up to date every step of the way - no chasing required. Definitely recommend!

Rebecca is fantastic.

She was polite, professional and everything she did was with purpose and urgency. After working with countless solicitors and constant delays, Rebbeca has got a repeat customer in me.

We had a solicitor acting for us who was very good. However other's on Rimmers staff appeared to be very slow to respond and we believe caused delays in our overall transactions.

We take all feedback very seriously as we strive for excellence in the provision of criminal defence services. We have many based upon client feedback. Unfortunately there is never any guarantees in criminal proceedings with regard to the outcome in a case.

Noel is a legal wizard.

Bought many properties in my time and none of them have gone as smooth and stress free as the latest one I completed on with Noel. Quick responses with a calm rationale to every problem we encountered. Always reassured me and got the job done quickly. Will not be using anyone else!

Straightforward and Trouble Free

Stephen Rimmer, under Partner Roy Bridge recently handled the sale of my father's property following his move to residential care. Although an uncomplicated private sale, Roy and his team handled matters diligently and professionally throughout. Fixed price conveyancing with no unexpected surprises Roy responded to enquiries in a timely and informative fashion and the sale was completed to time and in line with our expectations. Many thanks

I used them when buying my house Jack was great! However!!! I definitely wish I’d seen these reviews before I instructed a different department - I completely agree they are incompetent! I don’t think they understand the meaning of communication.!

Hi Nicola, please do get in touch with Grant Sanders on either 01323 644222 or Grant.Sanders@stephenrimmer.com with details of who is currently acting for you so this can be looked into asap. Thank you.
