Molly Guest is Fantastic

I contacted Pardoes solicitors in what was one of the most difficult times of my life. Molly Guest was so professional and supportive during the case she was working on for me , she really gets real life situations and actually cares about the people she is helping. Molly Could tell when I was getting stressed and upset , she was so down to earth and her advise was amazing 👏. Every question I had (and I had alot) Molly took the time to reply to me and clearly explain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pardoes to anyone, all of the staff that I have had the pleasure of speaking to have been really helpful. Again I'd really like thank Molly for her help and support. Pardoes are professional and friendly. I wish you all the best.

Exceptional Solicitor

During one of the most difficult years of my life, Mark Hood went above and beyond to support me. His knowledge of family law is exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is his humanity. From our very first conversation, I felt that he genuinely cared about achieving a fair and just outcome. As a single mother navigating a challenging situation and system, that compassion meant more than I can express. Mark approached every stage of my case with intelligence, meticulous research, empathy, and calm professionalism. He was generous with his time, always willing to explain things clearly, answer questions, and offer practical support whenever I needed it. I never felt like just another client, I felt heard, respected, and understood. Thank you, Mark, not only for your expertise and dedication, but for never losing sight of the human being behind the legal case. That ability to combine outstanding legal knowledge with genuine compassion is what makes you such an exceptional solicitor. I will always be deeply grateful for your support.

The best solicitor I had by far!

I had the pleasure and utter luck to be able to be a client of Molly Guest. She is absolute asset to this company. Her professionalism, manorism, communication and knowledge is beyond outstanding. I could not be happier with her support during very difficult and long court proceedings. Throughout my ongoing legal battles I had many solicitors and barrister but Molly is the best out of them all. Thank you Pardoes and especially Molly for your amazing services. I will be forever grateful.

We could not be happier with our experience at Pardoes. Massive thank you to Sasha Loveridge and Yseult Fell who provided us with a faultless service throughout. Their attention to detail, speed of response and professionalism was exceptional which really did make the experience of completing on a house a lot less stressful. Also a massive thank you to Bhavani Hogarty for arranging the process for us. I would highly recommend Pardoes for anyone seeking legal assistance.

Thank you very much Bhavani Hogarty and all her team at Pardoes for all the hard work and dedication which has helped us through a very difficult time. We have lived in our home for 60 years and the last five years have been a nightmare, which could have been sorted in the early days easily but turned into a protracted dispute. Ending up in a court case which we won, we could not have done this without Pardoes, especially Bhavani and her team and we would recommend them to anyone Nigel

South West Advocates Limited

Dear Nigel Thank you for your kind review. It has been a pleasure to work with you and Janet. I thrive on helping clients and do what I can to take the stress away and use the skills I have to ensure a good result. I am delighted to have achieved a successful outcome for you. All the best Bhavani

I had an exceptional experience with Pardoes Solicitors, particularly thanks to Sasha and Georgia, who were outstanding from day one until the exchange of contracts. Their professionalism and dedication were clear throughout the process. Sasha and Georgia made sure I was kept updated at every stage, with timely and clear communication that provided great reassurance. What impressed me the most was how smoothly they handled the exchange of contracts. Their attention to detail and expertise ensured the entire process was efficient and stress-free. Thanks to Sasha and Georgia’s hard work, what could have been a daunting experience turned out to be seamless.

I recently approached Bhavani regarding an LPA that needing completing and I had the pleasure of being introduced to Georgie, who assisted my family in the creation of the LPA for my mother. From start to finish, Georgie's expertise and professionalism were truly exceptional. Georgie took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, ensuring that we understood every step involved in creating an LPA. Her attention to detail and depth of knowledge were evident as she navigated us through the complexities of the legal documentation, addressing our concerns with patience and clarity. What truly set Georgie apart was her empathetic approach. She understood the sensitivity of the situation and demonstrated genuine care for my mother's well-being throughout the entire process. Georgie's compassionate demeanour not only reassured my mother but also made the entire experience much more manageable for our family. Communication with Georgie was seamless. She was prompt in responding to our inquiries, keeping us informed at every stage of the process. Her transparency and commitment to keeping us updated instilled confidence in the service she provided. Georgie's professionalism was complemented by her efficiency. She managed the entire LPA creation process with a keen sense of organisation, ensuring that deadlines were met and all necessary details were covered. This made the overall experience smooth and stress-free for our family. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Pardoes highly enough. Their exceptional legal expertise, coupled with their compassionate and client-focused approach, makes them a standout firm. If you are in need of legal services, especially in matters like creating an LPA, Pardoes you can trust to deliver exemplary results. Thank you, Georgie, for your outstanding service and for making a potentially daunting legal process so accessible and comfortable for us.

Thank you so much for the review James, it was a pleasure to assist you both. All the best Georgie

Somerton Commercial Unit Transfer

The whole team at Pardoes were really good. It was a long winded process to complete the purchase of an indusrial unit in Somerton, which was not of Pardoes making, but they got us over the line to completion. We are more than happy with their various staff and I even use then for my own personal needs e.g. wills etc.

We have just had the most amazing conveyancing service by Izzy Fell. She has thoroughly "looked after us" . She treated us with care, understanding and humour throughout our sale and purchase. She is a delightful young lady and my husband and I wish her all the best in her career. She was recommended to us via Mortons Estate agents, who were also excellent. Keep being enthusiastic about your job Izzy as it really does shines through. Pardoes are so lucky to have you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're thrilled Izzy looked after you both with such care and humour throughout your sale and purchase. We'll make sure she sees your kind words. We wish you and your husband all the very best in your new home!
