"It never felt like we were just another client — we truly felt known as individuals. It was a night-and-day experience compared to what we have previously had with other solicitors. I honestly cannot praise them enough for all of their hard work and would highly recommend them."

I had an excellent experience with this Clark Willis and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the whole process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. My solicitor Faye was absolutely amazing always responsive, clear in her communication, and incredibly supportive throughout what can often be a very stressful process. She took the time to explain everything in simple terms, kept me updated at every stage, and made sure everything progressed smoothly and on time. I’m extremely grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others.

I’ve really valued having Faye manage my case as a first-time buyer. She has always been quick to respond, happy to help with any questions or advice, and clear in her guidance throughout the process. I’ve already recommended her services to a friend and would happily return for any conveyancing assistance I may need in the future.

Faye and Elise have dealt with our house sale and onward purchase. The service has been exceptional from start to finish. They supported us at every stage, always responding quickly and offering clear advice. Their professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. We couldn’t have asked for better representation and would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.

After Faye acted for us with the sale of my Mum's property, we had no hesitation in asking her to once again act on our behalf. Faye, as before was excellent. She was always very friendly and professional with both the sale and purchase of our properties. She was always willing to come out to speak to us with a smile on her face, which was always appreciated. We would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

An absolute delight to work with. We have just completed our house purchase and chose Clark Willis Solicitors on the basis of their reviews. We were certainly not disappointed and would mirror previous reviews. It certainly pays dividends in terms of time, stress and quality of advice to go with a good high street solicitor and avoid the cheap online one. You get what you pay for. We dealt with the dream team of Faye and Elise – Faye being our solicitor and Elise being her Legal Secretary. Faye has a fantastic combination of professional expertise with a cheerful friendly approach that instils confidence at the same time as completely relaxing you. Ours was not a straightforward purchase but Faye helped navigate us through the legal mindfield with confidence and simple explanations of complex legalities plus sound legal advice. This in itself is quite a skill that not all solicitors can master. In addition Faye is more than ably supported by the delightful Elise. Often people who do support roles don’t get the recognition they truly deserve. Elise kept us updated throughout with regular communication and whenever we spoke to her on the phone she was friendly, professional and utterly competent. She gave us much needed reassurances on key aspects as we neared completion – obviously the most stressful time!! Well done to both for a job well done. Keep up the good work!

I am so pleased to have found such a caring compassionate solicitor to help me through the steps of executing the final wishes of my late cousin, her partner and my husband. Nothing was any trouble to her and she was always available to answer any concerns I had regarding the estate and in completing any and all forms required.

Will draft and final Will and Testament

Negar was the Solicitor who came to our home to draft and finalise Wills for myself and my husband. We werevery appreciative of a home visit and the care and professionalism shown. Negar was very friendly and took time to explain everything carefully and clearly, informing us of things we hadn't given any thought to. Time was taken to make sure all of our wishes were as we wanted and the draft Wills were sent promptly for us to check. Another home visit was arranged to sign the Final Wills and Negar came with her secretary, who was also very friendly and professional, to witness the signing of them. Would absolutely recommend this Solicitors and will use again in the future should we need to ammend or change our wishes.

I got in touch with Clark Willis to have Mirror Wills updated under the free wills service, through Marie Curie. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. A home visit was organised to draft the Wills and our Solicitor, Negar, was very professional, friendly and explained everything we needed to know in order to proceed with our wishes. The drafts of the Wills were posted out to check and another home visit arranged in which Negar and her secretary came to go through and witness the signing of the final document. A great, professional service with lovely people. Many thanks.
