Brilliant service from Kevin - couldn't be any better

Had a fantastic service throughout. Kevin knows exactly what he's talking about, is super professional, organised and efficient and made me feel very comfortable during the process. Legal matters can usually be a bit painful and draining but Kevin made me feel good about everything and I was very pleased to have him in my corner, making it all clear and giving great advice.
Huge thanks to Kevin and I will wholeheartedly recommend to anyone I come across who is ever in a similar situation to me.

Brilliant service, would highly recommend!

Andrew recently assisted my partner and I with the purchase of our first property. Being first time buyers, the entire process was new to us. Throughout the 9 months from having our offer accepted, to exchange of contracts and completion, Andrew was extremely professional, personable and responsive during the entire process. People often say that buying a property is a stressful experience, but Andrew was there to help every step of the way and made the process smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend Andrew not only to first time buyers, but to anyone buying a new property.

Good service provided by Alisha Maidment

Alisha Maidment handled our lease extension.

Despite coming onto the case mid transaction, she quickly got acquainted with the details of the case. Once she joined, I felt the transaction moved quicker and smoother.

She used effective, clear and concise communications skills to explain the details of our lease which put us in the best position to progress with our purchase.

She used great people skills to manage delays caused by the other party in a way that kept the transaction progressing.

I can’t commend her enough on her professionalism, knowledge and approachable character and would recommend to others.

The type of experience you need on your side

This firm stood out due to their advertised years of experience in dealing with employment matters and that counted for a lot with the situation for which I needed their help. They were sympathetic but also able to pick out the key facts and points of leverage within the scenario I had and that enabled them to go above and beyond the role I needed them for to achieve both a fairer outcome and a certain degree of closure. They were clear on the information and decisions they needed from me and managed to keep a potentially volatile situation under control. Would recommend them.

VALOR HACKERS WILL RECOVER YOUR FUNDS

At a point I thought I was going crazy because I started having sleepless nights, I’d be up for days .I never saw it coming , it was a carefully orchestrated crime and till date the world still fall a victim to these investment scams in full wave now. i came across a binary investment page on instagram and my the reviews and testimonial on this page about the wonderful investment scheme they’ve set up plus the thousands of followers on there. I thought to myself why don’t you give this a try and see what happens, till date I still wish I didn’t make that call. I contacted the company about my interest in investing with the company , I was assigned to a broker who walked me through the company policy and their investment insurance policy. I really fell for it all, I got an account set up by a broker assigned to me which I funded with $10,000 at the time to have a full experience of their trading system. My first few trades were awesome with swift access and withdrawal plus high returns and limited risk, I became greedy and wanted it all by investing over 500,000USD . My I was milking these tricksters and by month end around the time I found out about their illegitimacy I was going to deposit ONE MILLION USD , thank for the keen eyes of my son who saw through their fake websites followed by contacting the CFTC that confirmed it to us that this is a fake I ceased all contact with these tricksters and channeled all my energy into finding a solution , with my sons help I found “VALOR HACK” a team of hackers focused on solving the hiccups in today’s internet. “VALOR HACK“ is a team I will confidently recommend to anyone looking to recover his/her lost investment , VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM will do it with ease. I can proudly say that VALOR HACK RECOVERED ALL I INVESTED. valorhaq @ g m a I l dot com . Telegram: ValorhaqHQ

New Build Purchase

Marcus and team were brilliant throughout the entire process. Even before instructing Marcus he was able to answer multiple questions that I had and immediately made me feel comfortable. He was very responsive, always willing to help and definitely went above and beyond in my case - and that’s hard to come by with solicitors nowadays! If he wasn’t available, Lauren was on hand to answer any questions and keep us updated. Wouldn’t think twice in using Marcus and team again.

Knowledge and guidance

Paul's knowledge and guidance around my divorce was handled in the precise manor that I was looking for. Paul's advice was honest and balanced and left me with a good undertsanding of the options open to me. Paul's nature and personality were exactly what I was looking for and I am very happy with the process and outcome that Paul guided me to.

Extremely kind

Andrea Kershaw was extremely kind and thoughtful, explained everything in simple language that I could understand. She was very patient and thoughtful. I’m extremely grateful to her. I’ve been using this firm of solicitors since 1968, but as one gets older things get more complicated and you need someone to appreciate this and be patient.

Sevenoaks Branch. Instructed to deal with the execution of a Will in June 2022. First they jacked the price up 25% over their normal rate despite charging by the hour. Their communication is the worst you will find with any company in the UK. Expect to receive click bait emails every 3 to 4 months designed to encourage replies from the beneficiaries. However, you will not receive a reply. Expect a list of excuses as to why they cannot make payments. The last email received was 7 months ago.
The case has been ongoing for three years and still not concluded. Based on the service we have received, I would 100% not recommended this company !

Absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Thackery and Williams Solicitors! We approached them for assistance with a small legal document, and Julian was simply fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. Julian went above and beyond to support us, especially given the time-sensitive nature of our situation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our needs. Thanks to his efforts, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Thackery and Williams for anyone in need of legal support! Five stars all the way!
