A tricky situation expertly resolved
I have had an issue with a property for a number of years and tried to sort it our myself using Google. I had come to a shuddering halt with where to go next. At the time I was already using Crane and Staples for conveyancing work (which i can also recommend) and asked them if they could help with my situation. They sent my query to Adrian Boulter who called me the same day and within a single consultancy had put my mind at ease and gave me a legal and definite path to follow which will save me a lot of money and resolve the issue. Adrian is great and my lesson learnt is bring the professionals early.

Clear & Concise - highly recommend
We contacted Crane & Staples due to our home insurers leaving us in a dire situation, and really needing some guidance and advice as to how we could resolve the issue - Adrian was incredibly helpful, and gave clear directions as to how we could get matters progressed.

Outstanding
Like previous reviewers I would not hesitate to recommend Adrian Boulter. He is without doubt the best solicitor I've ever had contact with.
I was feeling totally overwhelmed by the situation I find myself in, the result of a dispute with a supposedly reputable caravan company.
Adrian explained in great depth the options and possible outcomes available to me, whilst also understanding and controlling my overly emotional responses. I felt an enormous weight had been lifted from me and a clear course of action established after speaking to him. His no-nonsense approach is brilliant.
Not only would I definitely use Adrian again, I would never even think of using any firm of solicitors other than Crane & Staples.
Adrian thank you

Adrian Boulter representing my relative.
I have been a client of Crane & Staples for many years, and used a number of their departments (mainly residential conveyancing). They have always been professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Recently, a relative of mine had a very difficult, and stressful personal situation, that was causing her much distress. I emailed Crane & Staples to see if they could offer any advice. Adrian Boulter telephoned me in a timely manner, and offered me practical advice over the telephone. I discussed this advice with my relative, and then we instructed Adrian to represent her. I must say, in a very short space of time, with a couple of meetings, exchange of emails, letter, and discussions with the other party’s Solictor, Adrian was able to come to a very positive conclusion for my relative. He was professional, gave succinct and clear advice, but also covered all possibilities of the scenario. He was very efficient., proactive and timely. I cannot thank him enough. Once again, we have had a brilliant service from Crane & Staples.

Excellent service and Support through a difficult divorce
Natasha has provided invaluable help and support to me through a difficult divorce and childcare arrangement order. Natasha is so knowledgeable and always takes time to explain things so that you understand. She is empathetic and really cares about the cases that she deals with. She really helps you to see things as they are and is so good at helping take the stress out of what can be awful situations and putting you at ease. I wouldn't have go through this difficult time without her personal support

Incredibly Helpful
Adrian Boulter has been amazing.
When I was in a situation that seemed endless Adrian gave me sensible, helpful, knowledge and practical advice which supported me through the following few months until the situation was resolved.
I could almost hear his voice in my head reminding what needed to happen.
Thank you very much Adrian. You are a star!

I cannot recommend Manish at Crane and Staples enough. He was friendly, approachable and incredibly efficient. Throughout our home buying process, his support and work ethic were second to none. The whole process felt so painless and stress free, something we’ve never experienced before with a house purchase. He and his team were so efficient that we went from offer accepted to exchange in less than 6 weeks! I’ll be recommending Crane and Staples to everyone!

Tom Axon handled the conveyancing of both the sale and subseqent pruchase of a new property. He is the best conveyancing solicitor that I have used. He is efficent, dilligent and just as important, he is approchable. The agents involved in the transaction noted how refreshing it was to deal with Tom. Would highly recomend him.

Tom Axon and the team were absolutely fantastic! The service could not have been better. I was updated on my purchase at almost daily intervals and the utmost professionalism was displayed in all aspects of the transaction. Tom made everything easy to understand and as stress-free as possible. Cannot recommend highly enough.
