Judge And Priestley LLP

My wife and I, with no dependants, decided it was high time to make proper provisions as to how we would wish our assets to be used if either or both of us lost our ability to make rational decisions and on our passings, that our funerals could be properly arranged and our bequests go to both our friends and good causes without any hitches. Using a regulated firm of solicitors was our desired choice and following discussions at the offices of our local firm that had acted for us in property transaction previously we decided on Judge & Priestley. Russell Ali there was able to guide us through the processes needed and prepare our Wills and Powers of Attorney documents for us at a fair, fixed price. We are both more than happy with Russell's professionalism. An "excellent" rating is more than justified.

Abdul Mueed Kayani was a very pleasant and professional Solucitor. He explained everything to me with regard to Wills and POA and answered all my questions. I would definitely advise my friends to use his services if so required.

My wife and I met with Russell Ali to update our wills which were over 20 years old. Russell was highly professional, knowledgeable and very personable taking time to fully explain our options and follow up on a timely manner on subsequent questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Russell.

I sought advice on redrafting my will. It was very efficiently done. The solicitor was very approachable and clear in his explanations.

I cannot recommend David and the Private Client team highly enough. Following the death of my father, David assisted me with obtaining probate and the administration of the estate. If you are looking for an experienced wills and probate specialist, I would wholeheartedly recommend him. From our first meeting, David was compassionate, approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every stage of the probate and estate administration process in clear and straightforward terms, which was invaluable during such a difficult time. What particularly impressed me was David's ability to deal with a number of unforeseen and complex issues that arose during the administration of the estate. His expertise in probate, inheritance tax matters and estate administration, together with his attention to detail and calm approach, gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and efficiently. Throughout the matter, David and his Private Client team kept me fully informed, responded promptly to queries and provided outstanding client care. I also found his fee estimate to be fair, transparent and competitive when compared with other local solicitors I approached. Losing a parent is never easy, but David made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable for me and my family. His professionalism, guidance and support throughout the probate process were exceptional. If you need advice on probate, estate administration, wills or inheritance tax matters, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David and his team. Thank you, David, for your professionalism, expertise and support at every stage.

Elizabeth Besufekad has been an absolute breath of fresh air to work with. Although my matter was a relatively quick job, these are often the hardest to get help with, and I was genuinely impressed by how seriously and professionally Elizabeth treated it. She was efficient, clear, and exceptionally quick to respond at every stage, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone who combines such professionalism with a genuinely approachable and helpful manner. The level of service I received was fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for reliable, responsive legal support. Thank you, Elizabeth and Tracey— truly excellent service.

Russell Ali was professional, organised, polite and detailed. The speed at which he turned out an accurate and thorough will was superb. Highly recommend him and Judge and Priestley!

We worked with James Ray and his team on the sale of my Mum's house and were very pleased with the service. We had originally started work with another firm, but found them very difficult to work with as they seemed to be using very junior staff who didn't know what they were doing. By contrast, James and his team were very knowledgeable, straightorward in their approach and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Would like to appreciate the professional advice and support whilst navigating the process of getting my first mortgage. Tracey and Elizabeth went above and beyond during the conveyancing purposes. Elizabeth made sure that every 't' was crossed and every, 'i' was dotted. The legal wheels tend to rotate slowly, and that was a bit frustrating. But couldn't faulter them for that. Lastly, for any legal requirements seek no further, Judge and Priestley are at your call.
