Excellent young solicitor

I honestly can’t thank Lucas enough for everything he did for me. From day one, he was approachable, professional, and always took the time to explain things in a way that made sense. Although he’s a young solicitor, his knowledge, confidence, and dedication were clear throughout my case. He worked incredibly hard, paid attention to every detail, and always kept me updated on what was happening. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Lucas was there to help and put my mind at ease. What impressed me most was how much he genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome. I always felt that he was fighting my corner and giving my case his full attention. Thanks to Lucas’s hard work and commitment, I achieved a result that I am very grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a solicitor. He’s a real credit to his profession, and I wish him every success in his career. Thank you again Lucas. RK

Best Solicitor in Edinburgh

We are extremely grateful for all the hard work and support Kathy Miller provided throughout our case. From the very beginning, she gave us excellent advice, guided us through every document and step of the process, and was always there whenever we needed help. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication gave us confidence even during the most challenging moments. We have known Kathy Miller for more than four years, and this is now the second property purchase she has helped us with. Throughout the entire process, she supported us until the very end and always provided the right advice. We faced a number of obstacles along the way, including having our mortgage application declined initially, but thanks to her guidance, perseverance, and expertise, we successfully completed the purchase of our second property. We truly appreciate everything she has done for us and cannot thank her enough for her hard work and commitment. We would recommend her services 100% to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and dedicated solicitor. Thank you, Kathy Miller for helping us achieve this important milestone.

Great Solicitor!

Kathy has always been our choice for nearly ten years. She is responsive, professional and very helpful. Her fluency in mandarin and Cantonese also provided us with extra confidence. So lucky to have Kathy in Edinburgh as our friend and a reliable solicitor.

Our solicitors were extremely disrespectful — rude emails without any respect and promptness was the best they gave us. Actually trolling, I would have had better communication and empathy from a kid on Roblox which is a disgrace for a law firm. I did try to communicate with them to the end, but I might as well have given up earlier as the process stressed me out so much that my mental health was affected. When I tried to call them out on their behaviour, they apologised that 'I felt aggreived' as if they were not at fault at all, and then attempted to charge a fee despite a failed service from their part, saying that this IS their normal standard of working. Absolute disgrace.

Rebecca came in to the process late as we were not happy with our previous solicitor. She got up to speed very quickly and dealt with all of our transactions impeccably, remaining responsive throughout and very patient with all of our questions. No question that I highly recommend Rebecca, and Watermans to everyone.

I cannot recommend Robyn at Watermans enough. She took on my case and worked tirelessly to achieve a fantastic outcome. Not only was she incredibly professional and communicative throughout the entire process, but also secured a compensation payment for the inconvenience i went through during the procedure. If you are looking for a dedicated, hardworking lawyer, look no further!.

Excellent!!!

Caron has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. From the outset, she has been professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keep me updated at every stage. Property transactions can often be stressful, but Caron’s calm and proactive approach made everything feel much more manageable. Her attention to detail, efficiency, and willingness to go the extra mile gave me complete confidence that everything was in safe hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Caron to anyone looking for a reliable and approachable solicitor. Thank you for all your hard work and support, it has been greatly appreciated.

Aaron supported us with the legal conveyancing of both the sale of our flat and the purchase of our forever home. We really cannot fault the service we received from Aaron and would recommend him to anyone (indeed - we already have). He kept us well informed through the process; we never had to chase him. He also stayed late one evening to assist us with a potentially costly snag during the process, which he resolved speedily and smoothly. We would have no hesitation in working with Aaron again. He’s a brilliant solicitor. Thank you, Aaron for all your help these past few months.
