Outstanding Service

I recently used Warner Goodman LLP for the purchase of an investment property, and the service provided by Alex and Ali was truly outstanding. They were knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. Every question was answered so promptly, communication was clear and reassuring, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed smoothly. Their expertise made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and well-managed. I felt fully supported from start to finish. I highly recommend Alex, Ali, and the team at Warner Goodman LLP to anyone seeking reliable and exceptional legal services for property transactions.

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.

Incompetent and expensive

Me and my husband have chosen Warner Goodman based on online reviews, which were looking great. After dealing with multiple big companies in the past, we wanted a quick and efficient service. Things started well, but as the process was dragging on for 4 months, nobody had a sense of urgency. We were passed around multiple assistants, some more lacking in competence than the others. One of them blatantly lied to me over the phone repeatedly, and must have counted on me not following up on his word. Altogether we had to push like mad to get things done, and felt really stressed for most of the process.

I was very impressed with the conveyancy service provided by Warner Goodman. All the staff Iwe dealt with were very friendly and approachable especially Alison Seymour who kept us updated at all times and chased the buyer's solicitors without prompting to hasten a completion. My queries were always quickly responded to. I would thoroughly recommend.

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.

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!

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.

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.
