Excellent Care For Clients!

To begin with I was unsure if this was ever going to be solved as it’s my first time experiencing any kind of claim procedure, Kayleigh assured me from the start that they are working on it and I just left it to the professionals, after a bit of back and forth with the opposing firm I was contacted with an offer that astonished me, offer was accepted and case closed, huge thank you to Kayleigh and any other individuals that took part in helping with the claim!

We would definitely recommend without hesitation.

Above and beyond, can't praise highly enough.

Long story short: I had a case against a public body where I believe I had been discriminated against due to a protected characteristic.

As I had limited funding options available I contacted Lucy just for an initial consultation to gain some general advice and a review of whether she thought my case had any merit.

Lucy not only reviewed my case but also drafted and sent correspondence to both the public body involved and to the EHRC (to try and secure funding) and then entered a lengthy email back-and-forth with the public body to try and resolve my complaint without court action. Unfortunately I was 'priced out' of achieving justice as the public body has 'unlimited' funding and they know taking them on it court is not within the means of 'normal citizens'.

At all times, Lucy has conducted herself in a highly professional, yet approachable, manner and she has put vastly more time and effort into helping me than 'initial consultation' fee should justify while refusing to bill any more time as she knew I had limited funds.

I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone requiring legal advice in any of the areas she is experienced in. While I was 'dissatisfied' with the outcome of my case, this was entirely due to the underhand methods employed by the public body and is in no way a reflection on the service Lucy provided.

Amazing Solicitor 😍

Lucy has been amazing during our problems with LEA.
Not only is Lucy a great solicitor but she was fantastic when interacting with my 11 year old daughter, and she is very personable and approachable.
She’s ‘on the ball’ and never needed chasing.
Lucy’s advice was easy to understand and I was able to trust her to represent us without having to proof read communications. There was never any problems getting hold of Lucy and she was emotionally supportive and reassuring thought the process.
I genuinely would never look elsewhere for legal help again.

We used Watkins & Gunn conveyancing to buy our first home and the whole team, including our solicitor Mark, was brilliant. They made the entire process easy and stress free. They always picked up the phone/responded to emails quickly and answered any questions we had. We will be using them in the future when needed and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

A client

We engaged Watkins and Gunn to act as conveyancers to sell our current home and to buy a new house in Bangor in North Wales. Our main contact was Mark and he was very professional and efficient.
Neither the sale nor purchase turned out to be completely straightforwards. The buyer of our house pulled out in the middle of the process due to lack of school places, and we had to restart the selling process.
Mark was great, dealt with all our questions and kept the whole process moving. Communication was mostly via email, however we did have a few phone calls and I also visited the office in Cardiff.
When Mark was on leave Aisha took over the process for a week and she was also great.
Thank you very much for getting us over the line!

A fantastic experience selling my home with Watkins & Gunn. Clare was my solicitor and communication throughout the whole process was regular, detailed, friendly and professional. It's not easy to find a good solicitor in the property industry, Clare is one of those gems. Highly recommend.
