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.

During my third day of self employment I was bitten by a dog which became infected and needed an operation. I needed someone to represent my claim and after my first meeting with Warner Goodman I decided that their no win no fee package was great. Deborah Foundling was appointed to handle my case and was very informative throughout. A massive thanks to Deborah and her team for all their hard work

Personal Injury Claim

From start to finish entirely professional good advice and everything explained clearly.Listened to my comments and concerns and advised clearly on every matter, everything was done to a high professional standard. Everything went well it was only the other side that caused hold ups as expected but was kept informed of everything as it happened. Whenever I had to visit the office I was always warmly welcomed and offered a drink on arrival. More than happy with the way my case was handled bit disappointed with the outcome but this was down to a medical professionals opinion and no reflection on the work that was done by those involved in my case from the start, so a big thankyou to Andy,Dan,Danielle and anyone else that had worked on my case the end result was a win and the admission of guilt from the other side put a smile on my face as well as them having to pick up the bill lol and this was all down to the hard work of all those involved so again a big thankyou. Cheers Russ

Recently concluded on a lengthy personal injury claim, in which I was supported by Dan Thompson of Warner Goodman. Dan has been fantastic and kept me fully informed and calm throughout. He communicated with me frequently, gave me sound legal advice and options to consider, including where the options could go against me. I felt he cared about my case , understood my position very quickly, and that he agreed I had a claim to make. He was very considerate about my health throughout the whole process. Hugely appreciate him being my solicitor in this case and thank him for getting the right result

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.

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.

It is wonderful to hear that you had such a positive experience, and we would be delighted to assist you with updating your wills when you are ready. Wishing you all the best!
