A professional service

I was represented by Maryam Ahmed on a motor insurance claim following a road traffic accident, and found her excellent to deal with. Maryam began the case as a trainee solicitor and subsequently qualified during the course of proceedings. Despite being relatively early in her legal career, she handled matters with a level of maturity and judgment that was reassuring from the outset. Communication was clear at all times, particularly when explaining the legal position and the practical risks around taking the case further. While the eventual outcome wasn’t what I had originally hoped for, that reflects the nature of the case rather than how it was handled. I felt Maryam’s advice was sound and well-judged, which made it easier to take decisions with a proper understanding of the trade-offs. Overall, a professional and reliable service, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Maryam and Watermans.

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!.

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.
