    A solicitor that works hard for the client.

    I recently dealt with this company and my solicitor was Charles Ling. I had a somewhat urgent need for a quick completion as I was living in temporary accommodation. I wasn’t expecting a great deal from Anita solicitor as to trying to hurry things through for me, but Charles was exceptional in this respect. He was easily contactable and always took my calls. And he worked hard chasing things up and quickly responding to enquiries from the Other party. I was extremely impressed with the service I received when in financial terms I was only a small client. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and particularly Charles Ling

    We are so pleased we chose harry! 10/10 solicitor

    We are so glad we used Harry, he is reliable, hardworking, efficient and professional. Our transactions were not straightforward and we were messed around by many people. Harry was an absolute rock for us throughout. He had a wealth of knowledge, which was useful when things became tricky. He was completely professional and reliable, especially when navigating difficult situations and parties involved. Harry kept us calm and reassured. He was always happy to answer any questions and queries. We were never made to feel a burden. He is, by far, the best experience of a solicitor we have had. We will 100% be using Harry in the future and recommending him to friends and family.

    We had Osborne law for over 2 years. Devorah Ormonde worked for us a much shorter time and charged us over double with no results. Ms. Ormonde completely alienated a highly qualified witness with no plan or empathy with her questioning. All solicitors know the law and process is the same. The aim of this firm is to extract money. Her judgement is poor and steps she suggested incurred costs with no hope of resolution in hindsight. Avoid . There are much better firms around.

    Daniel Martinez oversaw my proceedings over the course of 3 year period (covering divorce and Child Act Proceedings). Long story short, 3 years on, the Order has increased to where I now share 50/50 shared care of my daughter and limitations preventing further proceedings for the foreseeable future. It's an outcome I would think is wholly fair, even if unlikely and a testament to the knowledge, skill & experience that the family department bring to these matters. Daniel's advice has been sound and grounded, with a focus on the child throughout that places him firmly in the realm of more than just a solicitor, but a sage voice and a provider of counsellor-like wisdom that is welcomed. I genuinely feel I am a better father as a result. I cannot recommend Ronald Fletcher Baker highly enough. To Daniel, Richard and Bik - keep up the amazing work in supporting families through what can be a very challenging time.

      Thomas was fantastic throughout the purchase of my flat. Although the transaction became quite stressful due to issues outside of our control, he handled everything extremely well and remained professional and proactive throughout. He was thorough, communicated clearly, and always took the time to explain things properly. I felt very well supported throughout the process and would highly recommend his services.

      Bethany - A truly exceptional solicitor

      Working with Bethany on my house purchase was an absolute standout experience. She was everything you hope for in a solicitor and more; professional, efficient, accurate, and consistently one step ahead. I trusted her implicitly throughout the entire process. She made something that can often feel stressful remarkably simple. What really set her apart was how proactive she was. I never had to chase; she anticipated every step, communicated clearly, and handled every detail with total confidence. It’s rare to feel genuinely reassured at every stage of a property transaction, but that’s exactly what she delivered. I can’t recommend her highly enough. In fact, paying the bill was a pleasure; and when does anyone ever say that. She was worth every penny.

We are delighted to hear that our team provided a professional, efficient, and proactive service throughout and that her clear communication and attention to detail helped make the process feel simple and reassuring.

      Outstanding first class service

      Due to my original solicitor being away from work unexpectedly, Thomas picked up my house purchase case 1 week before my mortgage offer was set to expire. Certain to say this made me tremendously nervous, given the very tight timeframe and how complex my case was (undervalue family sale). However I was absolutely blown away at Thomas’ ability to bring himself up to speed within a day or so for a case that was ongoing for the best part of 6 months. He took full control of the situation and managed to deal with the vast number of complexities thrown at us by our mortgage lender at the very last minute, as well as managing communication with our broker and the sellers solicitor. He pushed for a completion date and made sure the sellers solicitor adhered to this date also as there was a chance they could have delayed matters further. Thomas managed to get us over the line within 6 days of taking on our case by working relentlessly, and whilst keeping me updated every step of the way. I could not recommend Thomas enough. His professionalism, efficiency and communication (along with the rest of his team) had left me so very impressed. I will forever be grateful to Thomas for his tremendous work, and whosoever is represented by him will count themselves lucky!

      Sale and purchase of property

      Incredibly straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. As someone going through this process by myself, having a solicitor who was reliable, organised, and easy to communicate with made a huge difference. Charles was always quick to respond, kept me updated throughout, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. What could have been a very overwhelming experience was made so much easier thanks to Charles’ professionalism and attention to detail. Charles handled everything efficiently, kept the process moving smoothly, and was always available to answer any questions I had along the way. I always felt reassured that everything was in good hands. I would highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, approachable, and dependable solicitor. The level of communication and support throughout was excellent, and I’m very grateful for all of Charles’ help during both the sale and purchase of my property.

      I was very disappointed with the service I received from RFB Legal Solicitors. In particular, my case was handled by Mrs Yasam Assad, whose approach I found to be rude and unprofessional. I also felt that my relatively straightforward case was not managed competently. Based on my experience, I would not recommend their services.
