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

Excellent service!

I had cause to use WG services in respect of estate and inheritance matters and, connected to that, their conveyancing department. Antoinette was wonderful; professional, supportive and patient with a family dealing with the loss of a parent and navigating the maze of will and inheritance matters. I could not have asked for anyone better. Julia was equally professional and helpful with the conveyancing matter. All in all, brilliant people and I would 100% recommend them.

Excellent service from Amelia Thripp and the Warner Goodman team We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Amelia Thripp and the entire Warner Goodman team for their excellent support throughout the purchase of our new home. We had a number of matters to work through during the conveyancing process, including source-of-funds requirements, enquiries relating to the property, additional electrical works and coordinating everything with the lender and the seller’s solicitors. Amelia was consistently professional, responsive, patient and reassuring throughout. What particularly stood out to us was the way Amelia took the time to explain things clearly and kept us informed at each important stage. Whenever we had questions or needed clarification, she was approachable and dealt with matters promptly. This gave us confidence throughout what can otherwise be quite a stressful process. We are especially grateful for the way Amelia and the team worked to get everything completed successfully and on schedule. We exchanged contracts and completed on 22 September 2026, and we are now happily in our new home. 🏡🔑 Thank you, Amelia, and everyone at Warner Goodman, for your hard work, professionalism and genuine care throughout our purchase. We would be very happy to recommend your services to anyone looking for a conveyancing team. With sincere thanks, Joshua & Mavis Pratt

This was our first time buying a house and also our first time having dealings with solicitors. I was recommended W.G have since recommended them to other people looking to purchase or sell a property. Everyone in the Fareham branch were so polite and spelled things out for me when I had questions (of which were probably silly at the time!). Every time I rang the phone, it was answered with minimum delay and ever email responded to quickly. There is a stigma around purchasing houses and the legal work being notoriously difficult and frustrating which is defiantly not the case. Many Thanks to Emma and the team!
