Probate dispute resolution

When we found we were going round in circles trying to resolve a probate dispute and getting nowhere we asked Natasha for advice. We found her to be very professional, knowledgeable and efficient but very approachable also. After taking a full history she gave us several options, guiding us through them. When we decided on a route Natasha did exactly as she said she would, keeping us informed, and it was not long before we got the outcome we had hoped for.
Many thanks Natasha!

Legal Defence

I had a legal issue that required a criminal defence solicitor.

So as my family had always used GEPP, including property law, I knew that I could count on GEPP to provide the legal help that I needed.

The legal issue that I had was handled by Liz Bradshaw, whom I met with to discuss the details and nuances of the case against me.

Liz then decided on how to proceed and constructed my defence.

The advice from Liz was exceptional. And Liz is also very nice to meet with too. I instantly felt at ease, despite the serious legal problem that I had.

Millie Cook was my solicitor at Chelmsford Police station, where I attended a voluntary interview under caution.

When I met Millie at Chelmsford Police station, I immediately felt more confident, knowing that Millie was there to represent me. Millie briefed me as to how I needed to respond to the questions that I would be asked and what else to expect.

Millie handled my visit with the Police in a controlled, poised manner.

Two days after my voluntary interview at Chelmsford Police station, my case was officially closed, with no further action taken, which was a huge relief.

I would not have been able to navigate the legal issue that I had without GEPP.

Liz and Millie were incredible with how they dealt with my case. I will always be grateful for their help.

GEPP are an amazing law firm who provide unrivaled representation.

Excellent Service with Contract Dispute

I reached out to Natasha after I was having contract issues with a company. Right off the bat, Natasha could see what was wrong and explained my rights and steps forward. It took a long fight but we eventually got my money back. Natasha was always on the end of the phone and happy to explain things in simple terms to understand. I hope to not need her again, but definitely recommend.

I contacted GEPP solicitors regarding a problem I was having with my neighbour, I was given an appointment with Natasha Kelt, on arriving me and my partner were shown into a room, offered drinks then Natasha arrived, I was very surprised to find she was already well ahead with my case, already getting information, after an explanation from me of the problem Natasha explained all that was wrong, this was explained to me in layman’s terms so I fully understood. Then explained what she could do for me, I found this extremely helpful. Natasha went above and beyond what I expected, excellent communication, always available to answer questions, polite, and extremely knowledgeable.
We in life are very quick to criticise but I would like to say thank you to Natasha and to say how appreciated all your assistance has been for me.
Hopefully my problems are now solved with the assistance from Natasha, but if not I know she would be more than happy to help again, and yes I would definitely recommend Natasha to both friends and family.

Danny Carter and Finn Thomas were exemplary in their undertaking of our matters which needed some correction following dealings with another company which did not show the same level of integrity as always experienced with Danny and Gepp and Sons.

Fantastic to work with

This is the 3rd time ive now used Gepp and I’ve been impressed every time. I most recently sold and bought separately and despite some challenging situations, George Menon in particular was fantastic in managing this on our behalf.

Chris and his team were superb ! It was a lengthy more complex sale which could’ve been a lot more stressful but fortunately Chris our conveyancer was always calm and collective which helped us enormously. He had a lot of work dealing with our file but he took everything in his stride and finally helped us reach our completion. We honesty cannot thank you enough for your expertise, experience and great service throughout! I recommend Chris Howe to anyone. 👌

We recently completed on our first home buying with Gepp Solicitors, and they were excellent throughout the process.
There was a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process it was clear that we were being looked after, and Gepp's team were doing everything they could to protect us in all eventualities.
We were working with Bakshi Dhanda's team.
We highly recommend Gepp Solicitors.

I cannot praise Katie J and her team enough for their help with our sale and purchase. Our buyer's solicitors seemed slow and unaware of many things they needed to do, which made us so thankful that we had Katie on top of everything. Her reassurance and knowledge made a stressful process much smoother than expected. If you want to be the one in a chain with the best solicitors, Gepp is definitely the best call!

I cannot praise Bakshi’s team at Gepp enough. From the very start, they have been absolutely incredible—guiding us through every step, from the disappointment of our first house purchase falling through due to the vendor, to finally securing our dream home.

The team is always available when you call or email, and if they aren’t immediately reachable, they always get back to you the same day. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process so much smoother.

Honestly, I could go on, but if you’re looking for a solicitor, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gepp. They have been outstanding, and I’m so grateful for their support!
