Looking after my dads estate

Both the Lawyers that dealt with my dad's estate were wonderful. They guided my brother and I through a difficult experience, explaining things in a language we could understand, identifying options and generally making things much easier. I would highly recommend Crane and Staples.

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.

We’ve used Crane & Staples for various things over the years and they’ve always been brilliant. Selling a house while grieving is never easy, but they made the whole process, from probate to sale, seamless and took so much stress off my shoulders. Always friendly, supportive, and professional, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you!

Chris Brewis assisted by Tracey Fenner and Jessica Dance provided an excellent service on our probate house sale. I found them to be very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We wanted to exchange quickly and Chris and the team worked diligently and met our target date. The web portal for completing the forms and uploading documents is very convenient. You don't have to use it, but I thought it worked well and saved a lot of faffing around. Happy to recommend.

We asked Crane & Staples to do we necessary legal work when we were trying to sell our house. We have been long time clients of with them for many years, and we have always received the highest levels of support and service. Chris Brewis and Tracy Fenner once again were wonderful to deal with and I have nothing but praise for their help and we would have no hesitation recommending them and their service.

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.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you received such excellent service from Bonnie and Sheryl. Your kind words and recommendation mean so much to us, and we are grateful for the trust you have placed in Crane & Staples. We look forward to assisting you with any future legal matters.

We had a fantastic experience with Mira, who helped us throughout the process of completing on our house. She was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful from start to finish. Mira kept us informed at every stage, was always quick to respond to any questions we had and made what could have been a stressful process feel much more straightforward. We particularly appreciated how considerate and understanding she was of my mum’s additional needs. Mira took the time to communicate clearly and concisely, which made the whole process much easier and less overwhelming for us. Her attention to detail, patience and reassurance were hugely appreciated, especially as we got closer to completion. We’re so grateful for all of Mira’s hard work in helping us get everything over the line and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate and reliable solicitor. Thank you so much, Mira! The Mandeville’s
