Stress free and professional

Hard working and dedicated in bringing a difficult will to a close. Peter Taylor's advice and guidance was invaluable throughout, and he made what was initially a very stressful situation with the deceased's debts much easier to navigate. I very much appreciate the care, professionalism, and support he gave throughout the process.

Russell Ali was a delight to do business with, he explained everything in a language I could understand rather than legal jargon which can be very confusing.

Making potentially complicated legal matters easy to understand

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.

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.

Dear Michelle Thank you for your kind words. We are glad David was able to assist and assure you through this difficult period.

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.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that Elizabeth Besufekad and Tracey provided such a positive experience for you. Even for quicker matters, we always aim to give every client the same level of attention, professionalism, and responsiveness, so it’s fantastic to hear that this made the process smooth and stress-free for you. Elizabeth and Tracey will be thrilled to know their efforts were appreciated, and your recommendation means a great deal to the team. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback!

Professional, responsive and stress free conveyancing.

Professional, responsive and stress free conveyancing. I recently used Orla and James at Judge and Priestley for the sale of my late mother’s property. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They explained every step of the legal process clearly and were always on hand to answer questions. Their attention to detail on the contract details gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

We used Judge & Priestley as first-time buyers and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Louise was brilliant throughout. Attentive, quick to pick up on issues and raise questions when needed, and always made us feel in safe hands. We'd highly recommend Louise and the team.
