Exemplary Service

This review is for a different branch.

Chris and his team are excellent and I could not recommend them highly enough. I was introduced to him some time back and he became an integral part of our team, very quickly. A solid practitioner with a very relevant and comprehensive knowledge of the law and a keen sense of humour. Nothing is too much trouble and he always responds when you need him.

Despite a particularly challenging conveyancing, Delicia Campbell was excellent throughout, simply first class in all regards, she cannot be faulted. If you seek professional legal services, look no further.

We needed legal advice quickly and found Stuart Allen at Paris Smith just stepped in briskly and sorted our problems. The secretaries were great, communication was excellent and the advice and calming manner it was dealt with was excellent.
We have subsequently used Anthony Nixon for wills and LPA amongst other things as well as other members of the team. At no point have we been disappointed. When they couldn’t help they directed us elsewhere to receive the help we needed.
I highly recommend Paris Smith for a reassuring and trustworthy experience.

A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review on 17 February, 2025:

Dear Peter Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of your experience with Paris Smith and particular team members. I shall be sure to pass on your sentiments to those named. Kind regards. Sandy (Business Development Manager)
