I Would definitely recommend Mark

Mark Hood is an exceptional solicitor. He has a straightforward, down to earth approach that makes even complex matters easy to understand. Throughout a very difficult time, he provided invaluable guidance, support, and reassurance. Professional, approachable, and genuinely caring, Mark made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice or representation.

Tanya and Katie have been excellent throughout the process. As a first time buyer they guided me through the process with great communication and knowledge and made the whole experience simple to understand, but also going the extra mile at each stage of the conveyancing. Thank you to all those at Pardoes Solicitors for your help in this purchase. I would highly recommend Pardoes to any first time buyers of those looking to buy or sell their property.

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.

First Class!

We have a particularly unpleasant neighbour. 17 years ago after 5 years or more of legal correspondence we attended a mediation hearing over a boundary issue, after which all parties signed an agreement and a determined boundary was submitted successfully to Land Registry. My neighbour never reconciled himself to this, accusing all parties of corruption, and refused to abide by the agreement to such an extent that he eventually built a structure across the determined boundary. We felt forced to go to law and were recommended to Mrs. Bhavani Hogarty at Pardoes in Yeovil by the surveyor who did work for us in 2009. Ultimately we attended a Summary Judgment hearing achieving success which was entirely due to the hard work put in by my excellent lawyer and her chosen barrister Mr. Edward Peters KC.

Dear Malcolm. Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear Bhavani provided strong support in what sounds like a long-running and complex boundary dispute, and that the matter was successfully resolved through the Summary Judgment hearing. We also appreciate your recognition of Edward for his role in the case. Please contact us if you require further support.

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.

Very friendly and professional team, always happy to answer questions, however small. From start to finish Rachel kept things moving along and kept us well-informed. Should we ever have to sell a house again we would happily instruct Pardoes.

Divorce experience

This review is to thank Pardoes for their recent services - initial informative sympathetic enquiry call with Taffy , thank you, and subsequent expert handling of my case with Mark Hood. Whilst not particularly complex, I found my divorce challenging and difficult for me. From the outset, Mark ensured that I understood every step clearly and concisely, explaining what to expect, including the expected costs, so there were no hidden surprises. Ever patient and listening to my concerns, Mark was always an email or call away with his prompt responses and reassuring replies. Mark was also sympathetic and supportive, conscious of my welfare throughout, which was invaluable to the end. Even simple things like easy car parking, friendly reception and offered coffees smoothed each visit to the office. So yes, ultimately the required outcome for me and on my experience, I can recommend Pardoes professional and caring services. Most grateful appreciation to Mark for his expertise and unwavering kindness throughout- thank you.
