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.

Lasting Power of Attorney

I was on search for a document of mine to be signed and stamped. I spoke with Andrew just under a year ago about signing these documents. However I lost his number and some way somehow through another solicitor firm I managed to find Andrew again as the firm recommended me Andrew business card I recognised the number. We picked up from where we left off, his secretary booked me in with an appointment and everything went extremely smooth which I was pleased with.

Megan and subsequently Andrew were incredibly helpful, patient and professional in dealing with my matter which involved changing circumstances from the other sides solicitors. Megan always kept a can do approach even when goal posts were changed numerous times. I cannot thank Megan and Andrew enough for this help in making a stressful time so easy. Thank you both!

Family

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.

Wills, Trusts and Probate

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.

Wills, Trusts and Probate

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.
