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.

Following a very informative seminar I decided to update my will and powers of attorney. This work was dealt with extremely efficiently both in relation to the actual documentation and as to the correct wording to achieve what I wanted. Advice given as appropriate.

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.

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.
