Very Satisfied Customer

My wife and I searched in vain for a suitable near-by notary but CWJ in Orpington, with whom we were already familiar, kindly offered to do the work we needed and at a reasonable price. We were very grateful after having searched in vain in Eltham and elsewhere. Once emails had been exchanged and preparations completed, we spent less than 1 hour with CWJ to complete the documents we needed. We were delighted with the results as was the recipient, our daughter in the USA.

Excellent service from the very first moment until completion of the sale of the property, as a number of unforeseen queries arose during this process, Mrs. Johnson's advice and subequent action were outstanding in detail and quality of advice. We have been especially impressed with the way this whole process was managed from start to close we cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism and courtesy extended to us, and also the way this whole sale has proceeded within an amazing time scale. Thank you to Carly and Sharah for all you have done for us.

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.

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.
