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.

Outstanding Service from Carly Johnson and the CWJ Team

Excellent service from Carly Johnson at Clarkson Wright & Jakes. Carly was professional, knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the purchase of my new home. Communication was always prompt, everything was explained clearly and the whole transaction was handled efficiently from start to finish. Buying a property can be stressful, but Carly made the process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend Carly and the team at CWJ to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you again for all your help!

It was a relatively simple settlement agreement for the end of my employment. Faye did a thorough and pragmatic job reviewing it and advising me on the appropriate changes to be made at relatively short notice.

I would highly recommend Alison for her outstanding support during my divorce proceedings. She handled my case in a highly professional and expert manner from start to finish, always making me feel that everything was under control and being managed effectively. Alison's communication was excellent throughout the process and she responded promptly to any queries and kept me informed with regular correspondence, which provided great reassurance during what could be a stressful time. Alison's knowledge, professionalism and supportive approach made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. I would not hesitate to recommend Alison to anyone seeking a skilled an reliable solicitor.

I recently used this firm to handle my deed of separation, which began as a cohabitation agreement. From start to finish, I felt in very safe hands. Every query I had was answered clearly and thoroughly and I was always pointed in the right direction. The service was quick and efficient, the advice was sound, and, most importantly, I felt genuinely reassured throughout the whole process. The support I received made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
