I felt fully informed and supported by Claire during divorce proceedings. I was confident that Claire was the right person to lead me through this process and was very pleased with the outcome. I have recommended Claire and Ramsden’s to friends.

Excellent Local Service

We received excellent service from Lizzie Kirk and her team in the York office during our recent house sale. We’re very pleased we made the decision to use a local company, which in turn made the sharing/signing of documents so much easier. We were kept well informed of progress. Highly recommended.

Fast, excellent service - would recommend

Referred to me by a good friend, Pauline, Ben and her team were absolutely fantastic.

I recently bought my first house and had everything completed within a month! Every question I had was answered quickly and every notable detail was laid out and explained thoroughly which allievated a lot of pressure when buying a house. 5-stars, cannot recommend Ramsdens enough.

Excellent service

The team at Ramsdens Solicitors in York were helpful, professional and kind during the process of selling our house and buying another.
Everything was explained well and the documents were clear and sent through quickly.
Ramsdens smoothed out the whole process for us and U would recommend them to anyone who needed legal advice.
Thank you

I contacted Ramsdens solicitors to see if they would take on my Medical negligence claim due to them been local I provided them with all the information on the phone due to it being numerous medical problems involved I informed them of the paperwork I had and I needed to have a appointment to show them the paperwork and fully explain the full details of the case but they claimed they would not take on the case because it was not a 110 percent case without seeing all the documentation I had so their no win no fee is a farce they need you to be on crutches or in a wheelchair so it looks like I will have to go further afield to find a decent solicitor instead of a local solicitor so stay well away from Ramsdens if you want a solicitor who cares about local people and help people with serious medical issues in Elland how can they refuse to at least let you have a half hour appointment to go through the documents to fully understand ALL the evidence if you need a good solicitor don’t use Ramsdens
