Great help from Thiara!

I am thankful that I have appointed Thiara as my solicitor in handling my property purchase in London, especially during the difficult time due to the Wuhan Virus.

We would recommend JMW

Our experience with JMW was very positive and there was a particular conveyancer, Joe Calado, who was extremely efficient in his dealings with us and other professionals. As there were two different legal companies dealing with our sale and purchase Joe’s prompt responses to all parties involved provided us as clients with confidence and helped expediate what could have been very protracted process. His efficiency was also commented on by the estate agent handling our purchase. We would recommend JMW as a result of this experience.

Golly and Marina held our hands througout a very testing sale and purchase, responding very swifly and professionally and giving us professional (and emotional) support without hesitation when we needed it. I am reccomending them to everyone. As we have found, there are a lot of not so good conveyancers out there, so don't hestitate in going straight to JMW and ask for Golly and Marina.

Golly is very knowledgeable and helpful, alongside of being very efficient and pragmatic. She has always been available and took the time to explain some points which were not always clear to me. She also has a very professional, friendly and helpful team and all of them have always been there to ensure that the transaction closes smoothly and successfully, which is what happened. Thank you again!

Hi Bertrand, thank you for leaving this wonderful 5-star review. We have passed on your kind words to Golly and the team. Kind regards, JMW.

Golly and Marina handled both the sale of my old property and the purchase of my new one, during what was an insanely busy and highly unusual time (due to COVID), and I couldn't be more happy with their work. They were so responsive, answering questions, keeping me informed every step of the way. I always felt like the whole process was in safe hands, and where other parties were less than responsive, they were persistent in chasing to keep things moving. I've already recommended them to another friend, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again for future sales and purchases.

A representative from JMW Solicitors responded to this review

Hi Ilona, we are delighted to hear that you are happy with how Golly and Marina handled your purchase and sale. We wish you all the best in your new home. Kind regards, JMW.

Great Divorce Solicitors

My divorce concluded after 2 year and Keira Hand at JMW moved this forward in a very positive way. Her and the company communicated with me very well during the whole process and made sure I was prepared every step of the way. They also hired a very good Barrister to represent me at the FDR who made the other side look like amateurs. This experience really highlighted, “you get what you pay for”. I would highly recommend JMW to anyone getting divorced as they really know your stuff and keep you very well informed. They also didn't come across as money grabbing solicitors which I felt the other side was. Keira always advised me to try and conclude the process as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Poor Handling of a Time-Sensitive Clinical Negligence Enquiry

Avoid Mark Sutton at JMW Solicitors Manchester if you want a complex or time-sensitive clinical negligence enquiry handled properly. After I sent detailed corrections to JMW’s original assessment in January 2025, Mark Sutton told me they would “be in touch again soon”. When nothing substantive followed, I had to chase again in March, only to be told to “bear with us”. In reality, the matter then drifted for months without meaningful progress, until I had to raise limitation concerns myself in October. Mark Sutton gave no clear guidance on what evidence or expert route might realistically strengthen the case. Instead, the reasons for refusal seemed to expand over time. The reasoning was also inconsistent. JMW said it would be inappropriate to approach my treating doctors because any opinion would need to come from an independent expert, yet later correspondence still relied on a treating doctor’s note when it supported a point against my case. Even after I obtained additional documentary evidence that I believed materially strengthened the case, Mark Sutton still declined the matter. I later made a formal complaint. JMW admitted there had been a delay, but still gave no proper explanation for why the matter had been left to drift from March to October 2025 without meaningful progress. They also tried to minimise the complaint by saying their complaints process is usually reserved for clients, despite the fact that I had been referred to them through insurer-funded legal assistance. Overall, I was left with the clear view that Mark Sutton and JMW Solicitors Manchester did not handle this matter with the diligence, clarity or consistency I would expect.

Good Team of Solicitors

Team of solicitors who did our purchase and sale for our property. Sally Hay in particular was great always responding swiftly. Hanaa Sahib also responded in a timely manner. It was a complicated completion and it did cause us a lot of stress, feel things could have been made easier, however some circumstances were beyond the control of JMW

A representative from JMW Solicitors responded to this review

Hi, Thank you for your positive review. We're glad to hear that Sally and Hanaa responded swiftly, despite some challenges with the completion. Kind regards JMW Solicitors

Efficient property sale

JMW were recommended to us as very proactive for conveyancing, and they did indeed bring the sale of our flat to a satisfactory completion within a quick time-frame of 12 weeks. We were looked after entirely by a friendly paralegal who was extremely polite and always very quick to respond to our communications. Some information had to be repeated and the last push to exchange was a bit of a clamber, but we were generally very happy with the process.

A representative from JMW Solicitors responded to this review

Hi, Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear that one of our paralegals helped to achieve a completion within 12 weeks for you, and that you found them to be polite and quick to respond. We will pass your kind words on to the team. Kind regards JMW.

Extremely professional and thorough

I have had an ongoing complicated medical issue for over 6 years that I have been unable to resolve, this issue has had a devastating impact on my life and I felt totally lost. My friend recommended I speak with Sara Stanger at JMW solicitors, the following conversation changed my life, she is both empathetic, sympathetic, utterly professional, gave clear information and advice and then went onto check I understood what I had been told. Sara Stanger is a knowledgeable and professional individual who has given me prompt support whilst keeping me informed in an easy-to-understand way throughout the whole process, Once Sara Stanger intervened on my behalf, I received prompt service that I absolutely believe would not have happened. I would thoroughly recommend Sara Stanger to anyone who needs professional advise and support she is absolutely one in a million and a thoroughly moral human being.

A representative from JMW Solicitors responded to this review

Hi Ian, Thank you for sharing your experience with Sara Stanger. We're so glad to hear that her empathy, professionalism, and clear communication made such a positive impact on your situation. Your recommendation means a lot, and we appreciate your trust in Sara's support. Kind regards, JMW.

We have used JMW for years but this time it was for the sale of our forever home. The journey wasn't plain sailing due to the vendor but Beth and Amanda were amazing at keeping us up to date, keeping us informed of all eventualities, getting searches and contracts back on time and just generally being super patient with us whilst we worried like mad. Havinh a good solicitor makes a huge difference when buying a house and I couldn't reccommend anyone better than the JMW team. Thanks Guys !
