Excellent from start to finish

This review is for a different branch.

I couldn’t recommend Mia Harper more highly as a solicitor. From the outset, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain complex legal issues in a way that made me feel informed and confident throughout the process. Her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome was clear in every interaction.

A special mention also goes to her assistant Evie, who was consistently organised, efficient, and responsive—nothing was too much trouble. Together, they make a truly outstanding team. It’s rare to come across a solicitor who combines such expertise with genuine care and clarity. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing legal support.

Communication is key

This review is for a different branch.

Mia was fantastic from start to finish kept us fully informed. Chased relevant parties on our behalf whenever requested and oftentimes on her own accord. Made everything as smooth as possible. Will only ever use Mia for anything property law related for as long as I live! Special mention to Evie who is an amazing member of the team and was on hand to fill in any gaps in Mia’s absence. Thanks so much!

Divorce proceedings feedback

This review is for a different branch.

I have nothing but praise for the way my divorce was handled by Luke Brown and Clare Plumley. They were both extremely efficient, patient and empathetic. Even though none of my communications with Luke were face-to-face I feel that we did manage to establish an effective working relationship to navigate through the complexities of a divorce. This was especially difficult for me as I was also caring for my late mother at the time and then consequently a bereavement. Luke and Clare were particularly supportive at this very difficult time. Clare was always a pleasure to deal with her and I did meet her several times to sign documents etc. Your reception staff at the Grimsby office were also efficient and personable. I also found Helen Wilkinson to be very professional in dealing with my will and my late Mum's probate.

Excellent

This review is for a different branch.

I had the privilege of working with Jessica Chester on a very difficult family matter involving my daughter being placed in foster care. From the very beginning, she was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind, understanding, and deeply respectful.

What stood out most was how she treated me—with dignity and without judgment. She never looked at me like a guilty person, and that meant more than I can express. She truly listened and understood my situation, and I always felt like she was fighting for me and my daughter with everything she had.

Her communication was clear and compassionate, and she helped me feel supported through one of the hardest times in my life. I am incredibly grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone going through a family legal issue.

I've always received exceptional service from the different departments within Bridge McFarland's Lincoln office and am extremely grateful to Chris Hubbard, the Domestic Conveyancing Team and, most recently, Olivia Rocks in the Private Client Department. Always highly efficient and professional, going the extra mile for their clients rather grabbing the extra penny for additional services. Thank you.

Couldn't have wished for a better conveyancing experience. Chloe kept us informed at every twist and turn. When things went quiet she would still contact us to let us know she hadn't forgotten us and was still chasing whoever needed chasing. Brilliant, thank you so much!
