Rina was life changing!

Throughout my experience with Rina and her team I have felt safe, I’d understood and reassured. Rina has completely changed my life for the better and I will happily return to Nelsons should I need solicitors in the future.

Motor Traffic injury claim

The advice and handling of our case was professional and we reached a satisfactory result after we had experienced a less than good service with a previous solicitor. Our solicitor was courteous, gave good advice and progressed our claim well.
We would recommend this firm again.

Professionalism, efficiency and client care! Our experience with Nelsons was brilliant from start to finish. We especially would like to thank and highly recommend Sanche Tutter. Sanche dealt with our matters professionally and efficiently. He was attentive, responsive and very patient when things were being made more complicated by the other parties within the chain. Once again, thanks to Sanche and Nelsons for their hard work. Would most definitely use the services again in the future.

Very impressed with the service

I had an excellent experience, with Nishi looking after, the sale of my property.
She was helpful, professional, always easy to get hold of and very quick to respond to email queries. I highly recommend Nelson's and in particular Nishi.

Katy Swinbourne. Where do I start? Well. Katy and I became involved with me professionally in the middle of what was a challenging and triumphant period of my life, more than three years ago. Having Katy as my solicitor has meant so much to me because she has shown me compassion and understanding while maintaining a high level of professionalism throughout the course of our communications . This woman has moved mountains for me and kept me upright in order that I could win my battle. I’ll forever be thankful for her dedication . Thank you Katy <3

Very efficient conveyancing experience

Used many solicitors for conveyancing however on this occasion the experience was far better. Ms C Griffiths communicated extremely efficiently with us/ and the estate agent . She always called back in very good time and kept us updated on the selling situation this made the sale far smoother and less stressful. Thank you - would use again particularly Ms Griffiths.

Nelson’s took over from my previous solicitor, who I have to say seemed to drag his heels not returning calls and after nearly 3 years still had not resolved my claim. Hannah Manewell took over my case and within weeks of speaking to me had reached a satisfactory end.
Hannah has been like a breath of fresh air. Explained things to me properly and guided me through my options to settle my case. Can’t thank Hannah enough.
