Thank you , great service and super helpful

This was a property related transaction. Very happy with quality of advice. One thing could be a little better - keeping me posted on progress a little more proactively but still happy to rate 5 star!

Excellent service

I would like to thank Willans solicitors for the professional support they gave my wife and I during a difficult two years that it took to get justice that finally prevailed and we can now move on. I would especially like to thank Evie Claridge for her commitment to the case and everyone else who was involved in the case.
I would highly recommend Willans solicitors to anyone who is looking for a professional lawyer who gets the job done and doesn’t waiver from getting what is needed for their client.

Brilliant service.

Willans Solicitors have been fantastic throughout during our case that has lasted for over 2 years. I would especially like to thank Evie Claridge for representing us through this but also everyone else who has contributed to the case and make sure that we came away with a vast amount of money that will make my wife’s life so much easier.
I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone wanting a professional service throughout the whole process.

Mary Young - excellent service

Mary has assisted my elderly parents, and my sister and me acting under powers of attorney, on three property transactions over the last 12 months. Mary has provided first class service on each. Mary is proactive, efficient and gives crisp and clear legal advice. Mary is also approachable and empathetic: she has excellent client handling skills. I would highly recommend Mary.

At a recent home visit Janine Guthrie explained LPAs to my 81 year old Mother-in -Law in a clear and understanding way. At a difficult time for the family Janine made what could have been an arduous task very straightforward.

I recently used Williams to settle a repossession case, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I found that even the simplest communications, such as emails or phone calls, were burdened with hidden costs. Their billing practices were unclear, and I often felt blindsided by the charges applied. While other firms offer fixed rates for repossession matters, Williams made the process overly complicated, which only added to the confusion and expense.

Given that repossession cases are something they presumably handle regularly, I was surprised by the lack of transparency and efficiency in their service. For these reasons, I cannot recommend Williams.

Excellent advice, support and service from Simon Arneaud from Williams LLP solicitors. The professionalism, communication and care was at all times very high quality. Particularly notable was the thorough and experienced responses to our questions allowing complete confidence and trust in the advice and agreed approach. The best legal service I have ever received.
