I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with CWJ. I contacted the business with very little knowledge about how to solve my issue. However I spoke to CWJ and they were nothing but helpful and informative. Megan Robinson was particularly useful and has been great throughout, always helpful and provided me with the correct information and advice. My solicitor Andrew Wright was also most helpful and professional. Would highly recommend CWJ. Thank you very much.

Laura helped me settle my Employment Tribunal case by offering very sound advice which I took on. I was faced with legal threats as well as being offered a much lower sum settle than what I settled for in the end. I managed to settle for more than double of what was being offered originally when I sought advice from Laura after subtracting any legal costs from receiving advice. Overall, I am very happy to have put an end to a long drawn affair that took 3 years to settle which also caused a lot of stress in the process. Therefore, I would highly recommend Laura’s services which I would use again if needed.

I required legal advice for my voluntary redundancy process. I received excellent support and advice throughout the process including some minor amendments to the settlement agreement. Would recommend CWJ and will use them again if needed.

If a case is taken on, it should be consistently regarded with the same substance, passion and honesty., if the solicitor is changed for whatever reason.

Quick and Efficient ID1 Verification

We used this solicitor to complete and countersign our ID1 forms for the Land Registry and were very happy with the service. The appointment was straightforward, everything was explained clearly, and the solicitor was friendly and easy to deal with. The forms were completed quickly and the whole process felt smooth and well organised. Overall, a very positive experience and I’d happily recommend them.

In seeking professional legal advice regarding complicated issues, it was important to me to have such complications clearly explained in a manner which I could grasp and therefore be able to make an informed decision. Grace Clarke was able to do this which gave me confidence in her abilities.

Although CWJ has a good reputation when I made minor changes to my Will it has not been straightforward.It took longer than I thought ( due to staff holiday) and was charged upfront a fee without explanation that I should not have paid.Was successfully sorted out at the end.

After having a sudden redundancy foisted upon me, I was recommended to use CWJ for legal assistance. This was great advice, as I was well looked after and properly advised from start to finish. I would certainly use this firm again if the need arose.
