Severance Agreement Review

It was easy to set up an account, which enabled the download of various documents and allowed me to provide instructions. Following this a meeting on the internet was quickly arranged, where my case was reviewed and various actions agreed. The solicitor contacted my employer and successfully argued the case for me to receive a better settlement.

Review of severance agreement - clearly explained

Review of severance agreement. Michael went through the whole document with me, explained the technical details, agreed on some amendments to ensure clarity. He responded to my company and challenged when changes were not made following his review. Although my case was very straightforward and the changes were not critical, I felt that if more had been needed he would ensure if was done promptly and correctly on my behalf. I felt very well represented

Great Service

Michael helped me with my settlement agreement from my redundancy with a previous employer. He was very approachable, quick, professional and had a great eye for detail. He spotted inconsistencies in the agreement which were corrected. I would always be grateful for his efficient work.

Amazing inside and out

Honestly, I genuinely can’t thank Megan enough, if it weren’t for her I would have lost my little girl but thanks to her I have my baby girl gone forever. I can’t recommend Megan enough, she knows exactly what she is doing and knows exactly what kind of advice to give you. I followed every single bit of advice she gave me and my daughter is now home for her first Christmas! If you are lucky enough to get her as your solicitor listen to every single thing she says, she is amazing at her job and if I could I’d give her 10 stars or more! Thank you Megan for everything you have done for me! If I need a solicitor again in the future I know exactly where I’m going!

Wishing you both all the very best for the future.

Amy Tapping and Albert Green

We made contact with Albert Green and Amy Tapping who were both magnificent - helping us navigate my older brother's mental health struggle. Albert assisted us with will-making; Lasting Power of Attorney; and a Legal Charge. He was absolutely professional, efficient and very kind to both my brother and me at a time when I was feeling overwhelmed. His professionalism allowed me to feel supported and confident. Amy Tapping navigated her way superbly through the selling of his flat - a complex, frustrating and awkward sale! She was so nice to deal with and her legal expertise ensured us of a good outcome. They both had to deal with Social Services along the way. My husband and I cannot thank them enough. We literally could not have managed without them. So grateful for their expertise. I will always use Crane & Staples.

LPA support from Elizabeth Rowlands

From our first contact with Crane &;Staples, we were impressed by the professionalism shown and the clarity of likely cost of setting up 4 LPAs. Our meetings with Elizabeth Rowlands were very successful. She explained the LPA process very thoroughly and then gave excellent support and advice which enabled a timely conclusion. Elizabeth has a very professional, efficient and pleasant manner which we found helpful and reassuring. We highly commend Elizabeth's services and would certainly use Crane & Staples again in the future.

I have been using Manish Patel and Crane & Staples for years. Buying a property can be straightforward, or it can be stressful, so finding a lawyer who makes your life easier is fundamental. I have been through all sorts of circumstances with Manish, from having to complete a deal with a very tight deadline to dealing with complicated transactions. The reason I always go back to Crane & Staples, specifically Manish Patel, is that he always delivers, no matter what the circumstances are. I highly recommend Crane & Staples.

Fantastic service from Amy. This was a protracted sale/purchase due to rubbish market. Amy's communications are clear, very prompt, & she has been available at short notice for telephone discussions where needed. Most communication has been done by email, which has been really helpful. We felt well supported throughout this stressful process, & have had full confidence in Amy's careful & considered work for us. When I next have to manage a house sale, I will definitely come back to Crane & Staples, despite living in Berkshire. Many thanks for your hard work, Amy, & being so lovely - we really appreciate it.

Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that Amy's support helped make a challenging property transaction less stressful. Thank you for instructing Crane & Staples. We look forward to helping you again in the future.

When buying a property it is key to instruct a solicitor that you trust. I would only ever use Crane & Staples after Amy Tapping gave us an exceptional service. I’ve dealt with many solicitors in the past and this was genuinely the best experience I’ve had. Grateful and thankful to Amy and the team!

I had brilliant service from Crane & Staples from beginning to end. Sheryl provided knowledgeable and helpful support, from the initial introduction with all relevant information, to the end when facilitating signing of documents. Bonnie is very experienced and really helpful ensuring an amazing process and successful outcome. My usual solicitors were too busy to deal with this matter and referred me to C&S but have unwittingly lost a client! I have no need to go anywhere else for all my future legal assistance. Well done Crane & Staples, a brilliant all round practice.
