Stressful family case handled with such care !!! Amazing firm 👏?

I was very nervous about my case and unsure how to approach. The advice I recieved was very clear and realistic. I was always Informed of the next steps and what was needed from me.

I felt heard and understood. My case was a child matter, which was very emotional. Having clear, friendly guidance made the process alot easier. Conversation were natural with Danielle. She was very effective and compassionate with her approach. I am happy to say the case result was positive and was finalised alot quicker than originally expected.

Honestly I can not recommend enough not only Danielle but everybody who helped with my case. I really felt like I had a whole team.

Professional Service

I have recently used Crane & Staples for two house sales and one purchase.
The professionalism of Tracey Fenner and Heather Charles-Walls have been above any other solicitors I have used before.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Very knowledgeable and very quick to reply.
We have also used the sand firm for years for Wills etc.

I can not praise this company highly enough. My Father has used them for all things legal for many years and I can understand why. I have just had to sell his house as power of attorney and Kuldip could not have made it easier for me (even with dealing with estate agents that gave me nothing but hassle).
From start to finish everything was dealt with diligently and professionally and I felt supported through what was a difficult time. Thank you.
Would highly recommend.

I was recommended Crane and Staples to progress my house sale having previously used another firm where I had nothing but issues. Heather was my contact who acted for me, I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and guidance she gave me. I would 100% recommend and will be using the firm again.
