Great solicitors

We have just bought and sold our house and Horup Khan was our conveyancer. The buying was very stressful and the first sale fell through at the last minute when our buyers buyer pulled out but Horup was fantastic and really pulled out all the stops when we got a new buyer but had to complete quickly before our seller pulled out! It was all very nerve wracking but thanks to Horup we did it. We’ve used Clifford Johnston before as they processed my father’s probate a few years ago and they were great with that as well. I can highly recommend them - A fantastic firm of solicitors

Friendly, efficient service

A change in life circumstances had prompted us to review and rewrite our wills, at fairly short notice. Shane was not only accommodating and made time for us, his friendly, down to earth approach made our conversation relaxed and straightforward. We discussed what our wishes were and Shane guided us in how we might do this simply without complicated language or clauses. I would certainly recommend working with Shane.

I would like to share the service I received from Katie. She was quick to respond for my request to arrange power of attorney. Katie also explained any legal jargon with patience and understanding. It gave both myself and family clarity on details we may have been unsure of in the future. I can't thank her enough and will undoubtedly recommend friends and family to contact Katie for an excepitional service. Thank you Katie

Dealt with Katie Murray. She provided an absolutely smashing service. She tended to my very urgent requirements and resolved my issue so quickly. She remained very friendly and professional during the trouble I was having and reassured me everything would be sorted. 10/10 service. Absolutely gem to Clifford Johnston.

A client

Shane was not only technically knowledgeable and brilliant at what he does, he helped keep me sane at what was one of the most traumatic times in my life. He seemed to have an abundance of empathy, support, sympathy, respect and provided you with the best advice for what was happening. No matter how stressed I got or how much I was dealing with - Shane was there for you, not just to provide technical expertise but with giving useful advice and tips. I can’t recommend him highlight enough. I’d have no qualms in recommending him to others and it was an honour to be his client too. Thanks so much Shane! I am living my new life with my boys in Brum! :-)

Conveyancer for house purchase

Right from the start Clifford Johnston were super efficient and proactive, with a no-nonsense, get it done attitude. Throughout the transaction Chris was very quick to reply to messages and enquiries, often within minutes. During a period while Chris was away, the file was handled by Colin who was just as efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and to use them again in future.

fast friendly and proffessional

We first used Horup (Clifford Johnston & co) back in 2020 to buy our very first home. As complete first-time buyers, we had no clue what we were doing, but he was incredibly patient with us and answered every single question we had, no matter how small. We really felt like we were in a good pair of hands. We liked him so much that when it came time to sell that property and buy our next home, we went straight back to him. His hard work and dedication have remained just as consistent the second time around. He's quick, diligent, and highly competent. I really enjoy working with him and would recommend his services without reservation.

Highly Recommend Jared McNally

I cannot thank Jared McNally and the team at Clifford Johnston & Co enough for everything they did for me. From the very beginning, Jared was professional, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my situation, explained everything clearly, and always made me feel supported during one of the most stressful periods of my life. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my case concluded successfully and I was not placed on the barred list. The outcome has changed my life, and I will always be grateful for the hard work and care that went into achieving it. Communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt that my case genuinely mattered. I would highly recommend Jared and Clifford Johnston & Co to anyone needing expert legal representation. Thank you again for everything.

Exceptional representation from start to finish

I cannot thank Jared enough for everything he has done for my family over the last three years. From the moment we first spoke to him, we knew we had made the right decision. During one of the most difficult and uncertain periods of our lives, he was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but genuinely kind and compassionate. It was always clear that he truly cared about my dad and our family. No matter how many questions we had, Jared always took the time to answer them with patience and honesty. He never made us feel like a burden and always made us feel heard. In a situation where it was so easy to feel powerless, he gave us confidence, reassurance and the strength to keep going. I will always be grateful for everything Jared did for my dad and our family. I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough. I sincerely hope we never find ourselves in this situation again, but if we did, I would choose Jared again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Jared.

David was extremely efficient, dealing with my two sales & a purchase. Emails & phone calls were replied to/ followed up mostly the same day. Every communication was easy to understand and the content explained if necessary. I have another property I will be selling soon, hopefully & will definitely ask David to do the conveyancing for me.

Enquired about a case 2.5 weeks ago, had to chase back 3 times until finally on the third time I received a call back by the trainee solicitor who mentioned money as the first thing to throw me off like it was an issue and basically explained how we don't take driving cases but however previously they have tried to take on my driving case. More important the tone/ mannerism of the short phone call I had was in a way that they didn't want to engage with me and can't wait to get on with their day.
