I initially met Isabel as Judge & Priestly were the recommended firm to handle matters following the death of my beloved father. She was from the start and all the way through incredibly kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Isabel and her team have done a great job with respect to my father's Estate, supporting me through Probate which in itself is quite an experience. She subsequently also helped me put in place LPAs for myself and also to redraft my Will. She takes great care to explain everything, she is patient and sensitive in her approach and also steps in and galvanises other teams within J&P when matters get particularly complex or difficult. Thank you Isabel!

In August 2023, Isobel helped my father and I with updating our Wills. This year I put in place my LPA, Isobel went through all the stages so clearly and answered questions fully. Isobel is very professional and knowledgeable. Judge & Priestley are very lucky to her as part of their team.

Will Preparation

I have been very pleased with the advice and support I received from Kamilla when preparing my will\. She was very thorough, professional and also very understanding of the difficult circumstances I was dealing with following my husband’s death. She explained everything clearly and gave me time to think about things before making decisions. There was never any pressure, and I always felt that she genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done properly. Her advice also brought up some other legal matters that I now need help with, and I am very grateful that she is continuing to assist me. I would definitely recommend Kamilla for her professional, caring and straightforward approach.

I decided to use the same solicitor at Judge & Priestley to obtain Probate for my sister based on a very good experience with a previous matter (Lasting Power of Attorney). Nimalee kept me informed throughout the whole process. She put my mind at ease during a difficult time.

I worked with Judge and Priestley on the sale of my late father’s house and was highly impressed by the professional and timely service I received. The process was made very straightforward for me – the team kept me fully informed and provided good guidance throughout. Highly recommended, and I would have no concerns about using them again.

I had to consult Judge and Priestley at a very difficult time. My wife was ill and apart from physical difficulties, was becoming more confused. I needed to sort out and register our Enduring Power of Attorney, revise our Wills and set up Lasting Power of Attorney for myself. My case was initially handled by Nimalee Bastian-Carter and later Edward Lewis dealt with the Enduring Power of Attorney. At my initial meeting with Ms Bastian-Carter I felt considerably relieved. She dealt with me in a very professional and friendly way, and enabled me to think more clearly about what I needed to do. The preparation of my Will and Lasting Power of Attorney went smoothly. Later, Edward Lewis dealt with the registration of Enduring Power of Attorney. I was glad I had sought professional help: it was more complicated than I imagined. I was very pleased with the professionalism of both Ms Bastian-Carter and Mr Lewis and the quality of the advice they gave me. I would recommend this firm of solicitors to anyone needing legal advice and the preparation of the kind of documents I have described.

Brian was so calm especially when I asked him to do my lasting power of attorney. His expertise, patience always gave me the upmost confidence from beginning to end. A big thank you to Brian and the team.

I highly recommend Brian Tan and the Wills & Probate team at Judge & Priestley. Following the late passing of my Father Brian and the team assisted me with obtaining the probate and administration of the estate. Brian was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly to me and helped a stressful process to be manage much easier to navigate. Himself and his team kept me informed throughout the process and was always responsive to any questions or updates I asked for. His expertise, patience and attention to detail gave me the upmost confidence from start to finish and I could not be more happier. Thanks again Brian and Team.

Excellent Conveyancing Solicitor

I had an excellent experience working with James Ray and his assistant Orla on what was a genuinely tricky sale. Their service was exceptional from start to finish, and their communication throughout was outstanding — I always knew where things stood and felt well looked after at every stage. Whenever a complication arose, they offered solid, sage advice and handled it with real professionalism and care. I would not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a dependable, expert conveyancing solicitor.

Brooke Stevens at the Sidcup office recently helped me with the sale of a property in the Hollies. Brooke was extremely knowledgeable about the estate and handled everything calmly and professionally throughout the transaction. So much so that Brooke is now dealing with my purchase of a new home. I cannot rate her services highly enough.

I can't recommend James Ray and his assistant Orla highly enough. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service on what turned out to be a genuinely tricky sale, and they handled every twist and turn with patience, skill, and reassuring professionalism. What stood out most was their communication — I was never left wondering what was happening or what came next. James and Orla kept me updated at every stage, explained things clearly, and were always quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern. That kind of consistent, proactive contact made a stressful process feel genuinely manageable. On top of that, the advice they gave throughout was sound, sensible, and clearly grounded in real expertise. They didn't just process paperwork — they actively looked out for my interests and helped me navigate some complicated moments with confidence. I'd not hesitate to recommend James, Orla, and the wider team to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor who combines real professionalism with a genuinely personal touch. Outstanding service all round.
