Fast Service & Great Communication

I instructed Crane & Staples to carry out the conveyancing for the purchase of my flat. Due to time constraints, there was very little time for delays and the pressure was on to complete on time.
Kuldip was efficient and pro-active in ensuring that processes were carried out thoroughly, effectively, and most importantly, efficiently.
I was kept updated throughout, and was able to contact Kuldip and her colleagues as and when I had any queries, and received quick responses too.
I managed to complete on time, and would definitely have no hesitation in using Crane and Staples & Kuldip again. Thank you all for your great assistance!

Thank you Mischa for a First Class Service, highly recommended.....

I cannot thank Mischa enough for all her help and support dealing with a distressing Will dispute in 2024. Not only was Mischa professional and approachable with great legal knowledge, she was friendly and easy to understand. I had direct contact with her and great communication which I was really grateful for. Mischa kept me fully aware of any updates and was tenacious with her approach to my case. I had every confidence with her at a such a worrying time for me. I would definitely Crane & Staples again and recommend Mischa to anyone who is looking for a first class and personable service.

Property Boundary Dispute

I really appreciated Adrian's honest advice and support which allowed me to think about how to resolve my issues in a different way and not be worried about them. The clear and easy to understand advice and support were refreshing and simple. I would recommend Adrian and Crane & Staples to my friends, family and my business partners and colleagues and feel assured that they would receive the same service.

A decade of support

My experience with Crane and Staples started over 10 years ago. During that period, whenever I've needed advice Sharon has always made herself available and acted with professionalism. Fingers crossed my need for legal services are nearing an end now but I would not hesitate to recommend Sharon should you need advice in relation to family law or property law.

Divorce

Natasha Khakhar has been my rock during my very emotionally draining divorce . She has been calm during my anxious moments and giving me sound advice as my situation has been very bespoke and difficult dealing with a divorce when one party being situated in another country and being totally unresponsive. Juliette Fletcher was also a great help assisting Natasha. What was supposed to have been an online no fault divorce has turned out to be a long logistical nightmare. Thank you so much Natasha!!

Exceptional and Simply The Best Solicitors in the Business

We have used this firm of solicitors on quite a few occasions and every time the service and professionalism exceeds expectations. Focusing on the conveyancing department headed up by Chris Brewis and Tracey Fenner and their team, they always go above and beyond to ensure all matters are dealt with professionally and quickly and efficiently making all the legal transactions easy and straight forward to deal with. Also what stands out is the communication, they respond very quickly to questions and matters without delay which ensures there are no delays.
As the title says here - SIMPLY THE BEST SOLICITORS IN THE BUSINESS.

Sian Churchill

I first met Sian in 2019 when care proceedings were initiated and from our very first phone call I could tell that this wasn't just a job to her. Sian has fought for me legally but also personally. She is passionate and dedicated to helping people get the best possible outcomes that she can. Sian was honest caring and nothing but kind to me and really made an effort to understand how to communicate with me and adapted meetings in order to make sure I fully understood what was required of me and also understand all the legal terms. I would highly recommend Sian to anyone who found themselves needing support in the family courts. Everyone at crane and Staples were so helpful to me and kind. They always returned calls or responded to emails quickly and kept a professional high standard at all times.

We recently moved home and engaged Crane & Staples to effect all the conveyancing required etc.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Our requirements were managed by Kuldip Chima, Senior Associate Solicitors at C&S, who we found exceptional in her
professionalism, attention to detail, and speed of response. The advice she provided was a great asset.
We also found C&S fees very competitive.
As such, we will now be using Crane & Staples for all our future requirements.
