West London house purchase

I was recommended this firm to use by a friend, I put in a request online for a quote. I was contacted by one of the partners who gave me the initial quotes. He gave my case to Tom who was one of the associates and he was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and dealt with the sellers solicitors perfectly. The process went very smoothly because of him. I would definitely use R-Cooke again!

Excellent communication

Russell-Cooke did an excellent job handling the conveyancing of the family home. The communication throughout was excellent. Joe steered me through the process, kept me updated, answered all queries explaining the legal aspects clearly and always followed up swiftly. I would highly recommend Russell-Cooke.

Happy with the service

Russell-Cooke was recommended to me by a barrister friend, and I’m very glad I followed his recommendation. Joseph Beams (associate) handled my conveyancing with professionalism and efficiency from start to finish. He answered all of my questions, kept things moving without delay, and completed everything on time. I’d tried other solicitors before and wasn’t satisfied, but Joseph was clear and did well (also – no unnecessary emails or overcharging – just clear, helpful communication!). I’d highly recommend him and Russell-Cooke, and Joseph for anyone looking for reliable legal support.

Great Solicitors for First Time Property Purchase

As a first-time buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Russel Cook Solicitors. They were excellent throughout the entire process. Charlie was incredibly fast at responding to all my queries, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Additionally, they were always friendly and had a great level of knowledge, making me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Russel Cook Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional service.

Brilliant and efficient service.

Joseph at Russell Cooke was our knight in shining armour. Our previous solicitors were causing unnecessary delays and we needed to meet the stamp duty deadline. Joseph took everything on and resolved all queries within the deadline. He was supportive, informative and diligent and he was quick to respond to our queries. I had total faith in Russell Cooke throughout the process and I highly recommend their services.

slow and fees will change without explanation and for the same service

Slow service and fees change without explanation. At the beginning, they stated the fees that would be owed for the services. Then, months later, was told that much higher fees were due for the same services (nothing additional). When asked for an explanation of this, they did not give one, yet demanded payment of the newly amended higher fees. Unprofessional and disappointing.

Don't use this firm

I did not have a good experience with the Probate team. Poor communication and they put you on a treadmill with their legal fees. I couldn't believe it when the final bill was calculated. I never leave bad reviews, but I was really upset and had to share.

Excellent Client Care

I have used Russell-Cooke for conveyancing a few times now and each time I have been provided with excellent client care from beginning to end. I was kept informed of the progress of my transaction throughout and any queries were answered quickly and clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm.

A truly professional and competent team

What a thoroughly professional approach Janice Gardner and her team took in conducting my complex medical legal claim over a period of four years. Throughout this time I was consulted and kept informed of all the major issues involved. Janice's team were always approachable, supportive and completely thorough in their investigations ensuring I received the best possible representation and outcome.

Brilliant end to end delivery

I was tempted to find a cheaper firm to handle my case but I'm glad I didn't. Rachel has been first class throughout the process. Whilst our case hasn't been the most straightforward she has kept in regular contact and given clear and practical advice. I would thoroughly recommend Russell-Cooke.
