Charlotte Gould and found her to be extremely efficient and professional in explaining and examining in detail the complex land contract we were entering into. Due to her experience in this area she picked up on things we would never of considered, we couldn't have been more delighted.

I would highly recommend Kirstie. Her knowledge and expertise were exceptional, and her calm and reassuring approach made the whole process much easier to navigate. Communication was excellent throughout, with everything explained clearly and efficiently at every stage. Kirstie was professional, approachable and supportive throughout, and I was extremely pleased with the service I received.

Services by TS&P - Harry Smith

The professionalism of TS&P and in particular, Harry Smith I can't speak highly enough of. The guy is a gem and an absolute diamond. He offered a first class level of service and his assiduous nature and diligence in seeing through my case through from start to finish has been incredible. The case in total lasted around 3 years, and at points I wasn't sure there was going to be any resolution at all. Harry kept me informed along the way and was very honest throughout which was refreshing, even when the end didn't look near.  Harry was very transparent, understood my angle when it came to our family's case and worked hard to get me a level of justice I was seeking. He kept in touch fairly regularly and it was refreshing to hear him speak so passionately about our case, it felt like it mattered to him. He would happily jump on calls with family to explain the state of play when further clarification to others was needed, and no task was ever really too much for him to do. When we worked towards a breakthrough, he was very diligent in coming to a resolution that suited myself and gave me a level of satisfaction after years and years of frustration. His proactive nature was outstanding and from our point of view, Harry Smith sits in an extremely high regard.

Outstanding service from Kirstie Law

I recently employed Kirstie Law for my divorce after she was recommended to me. I was very impressed right from our first meeting. She was highly professional, very efficient and clear spoken but yet maintained empathy for the situation. I would not hesitate in recommending her services if you are unfortunate enough to need them.

Excellent supportive legal help

We needed professional legal help and support with a complicated inheritance matter following a family breakdown. We initially worked with Lawrence and then with Nick Buckle after Lawrence's departure. We were extremely satisfied with both solicitors and how our case was handled throughout. Their guidance took a great deal of stress off our shoulders. We were advised on the best legal options for our situation and felt fully supported every step of the way. Thank you so much.

This was my first time using TS&P - and the level of detail this firm went to and in particular, Harry Smith I can't speak highly enough of. The guy is an asset. He offered a first class level of service and his assiduous nature and diligence in seeing through my case through from start to finish has been incredible. The case in total lasted around 3 years, and at points I wasn't sure there was going to be any resolution at all. Harry kept me informed along the way and was very honest throughout which was refreshing, even when the end didn't look near. Harry was very transparent, understood my angle when it came to our family's case and worked hard to get me a level of justice I was seeking. He kept in touch fairly regularly and it was refreshing to hear him speak so passionately about our case, it felt like it mattered to him. The way he'd speak on phone calls with myself personally but also with family was outstanding - we felt he cared a lot about it and it resonated with all of us. When we worked towards a breakthrough, he was very diligent in coming to a resolution that suited us. His proactive nature was outstanding and from our point of view, Harry Smith sits in an extremely high regard.

Kirstie Law provided an exceptional service throughout an extended divorce process. She was reassuring, knowledgeable and always very responsive when needed, via both phone and email. I also used the conveyancing department and had an equally positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirstie or the firm.

The most trying of times were dealt with by the T,S&P staff with compassion, care, support and an exceptional level of professional service. I would wish to thank Sarah Keily for her understanding of my situation and offering the best direction and guidance that I could wish for and, ensuring I was informed and understood all factors at every level. I would recommend TS&P without hesitation.

Huge thank you to Desmond O’Donnell and the team at TS&P. Desmond has been a huge support to me and offered exceptional legal advice - truly helped me during a very difficult situation. His kindness and exquisite knowledge of the law and how to deal with very narcissistic personalities was a godsend. Thank you Desmond and team - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Desmond or TS&P extremely professional service.

Informed, experienced, kind highly recommends.

I had inheritance tax forms to fill in for Probate, in turn because of premium bonds, no tax to pay, just lots of complicated forms. Charlotte was wonderful, so informed and helpful at a time I felt so low with the death and confused by the IHT process. She helped and got me through the whole probate process. Amazing and her team are great. Currently helping with the will and trust and selling the house too. I would highly recommend as have expertise in every topic, and some overlap.

Really good solicitor, we have worked with Penny and Louise, both have been incredibly good with communication, worked very hard to help us with our move and have made the move feel much less stressful as they've kept us updated. The solicitor used by the seller wasn't very good, so we are extra grateful that we chose to use Thomson Snell & Passmore.
