Excellent yet again

My wife and I have just used Russell & Russell, specifically Michele and Adina for the second time.

The first time was a purchase only and this time it was a simultaneous sale and purchase.

We have had zero issues either time, they really took the stress out of the situation. We can't fault the service we have received on either occasion.

The fee was more than fair as well, all in all I would be more than happy to recommend them for your conveyancing needs.

Thanks again both of you.

Didnt turn up in court when arranged for them to do so

The legal team of Russel & Russel arranged to defend me in a Magistrates Court but didnt turn up - when I rang I was told that the solicitor was on his way - he didnt arrive - I made contact again and was told who the solicitor was and that he was at the court representing me and another client - he didn't arrive - I rang again and was told that I had no arrangement to be defended which of course I had. They knew who the solicitor was - they told me that he was already there - and then they said that he wasn't there because I hadn't made an arrangement for solicitor to defend me - which I had - they said that maybe I should ask the Duty Solicitor to act for me - it took three and a half hours of me waiting for them, to eventually say this - why would anyone want to be represented by these solicitors - my advice - avoid them - there are plenty of other solicitors out there who, unlike Russell and Russell are genuine, concerned about their clients and brilliant at what they do - just not Russell & Russell

My Will

I was a little apprehensive at first about making a will but it is something we all must consider. Louise made me feel very comfortable, she is a personable lady and instantly made me feel at ease. I had quite a few questions which she answered and we chatted about any concerns that I might have, so all in all a pleasant experience.

Michele Benson has dealt with several conveyancing transactions for me over the years and is undoubtedly an asset to this firm. Each time she has been efficient and knowledgeable with excellent communication skills. I always have the utmost confidence in her, and Adina.
