Excellent Service from Sally Wood

Sally Wood has been my solicitor for nearly 6 years. I would highly recommend Sally, she is very profession, responsive, friendly, and kept me updated 24/7.
She handled all my cases in an excellent manner helped me with my divorce, financial settlement and custody cases. She provided me with results with all her knowledge and experience.
Thanks Sally for your excellent service, I hope I never do but if I ever needed a solicitor again I would only use you.
Wishing you all the best,
Charan

Paul Cantrill is one of the most honest, professional and hardworking individuals I have ever come across and is a total credit to his service and firm. Paul was there for me, morning and evening. Keeping me updated and working with me closely to ensure a positive outcome. I cannot thank Paul enough. Albin and Co is the place to go if you need legal help!

I’ve been dealing with Sally who I can’t recommend highly enough. She’s straight down the line when discussing likely fees and very reasonably priced. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable too. Thanks Sally.

Just dump like a hit brick.

I have been a client of albin Co for 10 years plus.

When the solicitor who has dealt with my complex case retired, her and Chris albin closed my file and ignored any communication attempts by myself.

I have serious mental health issues and their cruel Ness has left me suicidle wanting to take my own life.

Chris albin has treated me cruelly since I took my complaint to him..

I know have to go thru a complaints procedure that could take my life and he sits there watching this all unfold and fies nothing to help resolve and keep me safe.

I asked for complaints procedure in the post as I am not good with computers.

They have left me feeling isolated and hated, just wrong.

Expert Professionalism

My partner recently stood trial for the offence of Common Assault at Chippenham Magistrates Court. Chris Albin was acting as Court Appointed Advocate to deal with the cross examination of the complainant. Before the case was heard Chris was most helpful in updating us with any information pertaining to the case and was very reassuring. We cannot thank him enough for his support and professional advice given to us at a very stressful time. He handled the case in an excellent manner and we would recommend him to anyone who needs an expert solicitor. Thank you Chris. Sue Harvey

I received top quality legal advice from Charlie Moss. She was super helpful and professional. Charlie was very good at explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. I am very thankful for her advice and support at a difficult time.
