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!

Fantastic Family Lawyer

Highly recommended firm and in particular, Natasha Khakhar who was a pillar of strength for me during the most difficult time in my life. Very supportive and knowledgeable in her field. Extremely hardworking and dedicated to her work. Often works very late into the night to get the work done. Thank you Natasha and the team at Crane and Staples.

Complex delayed financial remedy case

This was a complex and protracted case of a delayed financial remedy application several years after divorce and previous settlement. Natasha supported me all the way with her extensive knowledge of family law and took advice from senior counsel when needed. She was always prompt in responding to any issues and comprehensive in her preparation of documents for court. She maintained a calm, non-confrontational approach when dealing with the other side to help resolve the matter which settled without the need for a final hearing. I couldn’t have wished for a better solicitor.

Very professional honest reliable service and excellent outcome for our needs as a family. As this was a family matter everything was tailored to our needs and I was left feeling very happy . There were frequent updates about what was happening and as an individual I was listened to and had alot of support from the solicitors that worked with me at crane and staples. Overall on an individual basis I would recommend anyone with a problem they do not understand to get advice from these professionals . Thank you so much for all the time and hardwork you put into helping me I couldn't have asked for a better outcome in resolving the matters. Have a wonderful Christmas. Sincerely

Where do I start. Solicitor for family law Natasha absolute credit to the company, freindly from the get go welcoming and going above and beyond to help me with my case from start to finish really knows family law, really helped put me at ease when I felt so lost with all the court stuff. I would recommend for any father/mother going through child/family issues to contact and ask for Natasha. You won't be disappointed. Crane & Staples as a whole welcoming from the first phone call to the reception upon arrival asking if would like a drink etc First class service 🙌 will be using this firm for all my legal advice from now on

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.
