    Curwens was recommended to me by a friend and Anne Stennet was very friendly but professional dealing with my mum’s probate. It’s a very difficult time but was made easier for me because of their easy and prompt manner of working. I am very happy and now using the company for eventual sale of my mum’s house.

    I approached Curwens when my late Aunt was in a Care Home and found them immediately to be of fantastic assistance in every way right from when my Aunt passed away to Probate and then the eventual sale of her Property. Bradley, Anne and the whole team were absolutely brilliant all the way through, helping me with paperwork, keeping me fully posted in every way and explaining things that I did not understand fully. They all work together very well indeed and everyone knows their role and fits directly into it. The wealth of Experience that they all have is paramount in the Legal Profession and in my opinion cannot be matched anywhere else. Thank you once again and I would not hesitate to use you once again for anything that involves a legal slant. Thank you. With kind regards Steven Hawkyard.

      Resolution

      I found myself dealing with a completely unfounded claim for wrongful dismissal and other fabricated allegations from an employee who had resigned and openly acknowledged doing so, yet still pursued a case with the help of his lawyers. A trusted friend recommended I speak to Omar Qassim, and I’m very glad I did. Omar and the team at Curwen’s helped me navigate an extremely stressful and challenging situation with clarity, reassurance, and professionalism.

      Patient, Professional and Supportive Throughout

      A huge thank you to Suzan and Bradley at Curwens for guiding us through the sale of our property. While we were fortunate to secure an offer we were happy with, the journey from accepted offer to completion became much longer and more complex than anyone anticipated. Along the way there were countless enquiries, requests, requirements and unexpected hurdles to navigate. Throughout it all, Suzan and Bradley were professional, responsive and incredibly patient. Their communication was clear and timely, and they always took the time to explain what was needed, answer questions and keep matters moving wherever possible. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, but having experienced professionals in your corner makes all the difference. We always felt supported and reassured, even during the more challenging periods of the process. Thank you both for helping us get over the line. After a long and sometimes testing journey, we were delighted to complete and greatly appreciated your hard work, persistence and support throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Curwens to anyone looking for trusted conveyancing solicitors.

      Bradley acted on our behalf for both the sale and purchase of our property, both with nuanced complexities, and was extremely diligent from start to finish. Most importantly, he operates with militant responsiveness, and was available 24/7 when we needed quick answers. Have since referred to friends and family. Would highly recommend!

      Upon my initial conversation with Vijaya Sumputh regarding my issue, she attentively listened and informed me of its validity. She outlined her intentions to explore the possibility of settling out of court; if that proves unfeasible, we may be compelled to proceed to court. We attended court and achieved victory. I am quite delighted with the service.
