Excellent service

A fantastic experience with Kiri Saunders Brown, who pulled out all the stops to help us achieve a 'crazy' deadline for completion on a flat purchase. Outstanding service. This is one in a line of major transactions we've completed recently with Warner Goodman, including a business sale, two lease transfers, three property purchases, employment contract negotiations and our wills, and every single person we have dealt with has been outstanding, working in excellent time with a quick, organised and very professional solution. We can't speak highly enough of the Warner Goodman team. Thank you.

We greatly appreciate your continued trust and look forward to supporting you again in the future.

Had an excellent experience with our house purchase through Warner Goodman. We mainly dealt with John Neal and Kiri Saunders-Brown. The service was absolutely excellent. They were very communicative throughout the process and provided excellent advice. We've also used their wills service, which was equally good. Would highly recommend to anyone requiring legal services in the Southampton area.

Prolonged unnecessarily

Lasting powers of attorney were eventually completed and registered after delays due to this company simply failing to explain that a married couple could not act as a witness to their partners' signatures. No urgency displayed.

Conveyancing

We were very happy with the service we received from the Fareham office. We were kept informed at the appropriate times and the sale went through in a timely fashion, quicker than we feared. We haven't attributed the good service to any one individual as we seemed to deal with 2 or 3 different staff during the process, due to holidays etc, but there was ample cover at all times, and didn't detract from the service provided. All in all, a very good experience. We are needing our wills re-written in the near future and we are thinking seriously of using Warner Goodman for our requirements.

Excellent service from Alison Seymour (not on your drop down list above), and the team. Very helpful and very professional in the way they dealt with the sale of my mums house. Only slight criticism was the requirement to send in the original of my mums LPA which left our family without it for the sale duration, being a professional body I am not sure why you would not have accepted the "V" code from the Gov.UK website.

from Warner Goodman LLP

Thank you for the fantastic review, Alan! We are delighted to hear that Alison and the team provided such helpful and professional service during the sale of your mother's home. We also really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the Power of Attorney process. Thank you for choosing our firm!

Very helpful and comprehensive service

I needed help after being injured in a road accident. Warner Goodman had been recommended by a friend and I received excellent help and advice from Molly throughout my case. She ended up securing me a significant amount of damages that far exceeded my best expectations, and was professional and efficient at all times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Molly and Warner Goodman to anyone needing similar help and representation in future.

Reliable, Efficient and Supportive Conveyancing Team

We used Warner Goodman LLP for conveyancing when buying our first home and again for the sale and purchase of our next, and they were fantastic both times. The journey this time was a long one, with two purchases falling through before we finally found our forever home. Throughout it all, Stacey & Jordan were patient, supportive, and never once made us feel like a nuisance. Communication was excellent, they worked incredibly quickly, and any queries were answered the same or next day. We couldn’t fault their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and friendly conveyancing solicitors.
