Property Sale - Outstanding Service

As always! Impeccable service from W&G.
I cannot thank Mark Philips enough for taking the heat out of the process for selling your house, by being so responsive and keeping me updated - avoiding those awful periods when you don't really know what is going on.

I have used W&G for many services now over the past 8 years since moving to Wales to live with my now husband!

Always such a professional company and Mark Phillips really was incredibly professional and a really nice person to work with through what is a very stressful time.

Thank you again W&G - another!! great experience.
Warmest Regards, Tracey

I want too extend my gratitude to Garry Dickinson and Sue Garland of Watkins and Gunn for the incredible work you did in securing an amazing settlement in my personal injury case. Your dedication and professionalism and knowledge made the aiderace during one of the most difficult times in my life, Garry’s approach, sharp negotiation skills, friendliness and attention to detail were a joy to observe, you ensured that I received the compensation I deserved, Sue you are a Star, you made the entire process feel much more manageable, Thanks to your hard work, often outside the Office hours, I can now move forward with a sense of closure and relief. Please know how much I appreciate everything that you have done for me, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation

Above and beyond a professional service

Firstly I would like to say thank you so much for all your help. You went above just a normal service and really cared on a personal level, not just about my injury claim. While keeping everything professional you also had time to talk about my feelings and what I was going through in my life. So thank you Garry, you are not only exceptional at your job but a true gentleman I will miss. Another thank you goes to Sue Garland who always kept me updated and answered any questions the same day. All in all the personnel at the Sheffield branch of Watkins and Gunn was fantastic and fully recommend.

I unfortunately was involved in a life changing accident whilst working at the steelworks in Sheffield. it was a real worrying time for my family and I.

I am a member of community Union and thankfully I was provided with the top lawyer Mr. Garry Dickinson.

Garry was magnificent all the way through the case. He explained everything to me and the case panned out exactly how he said it would. Garry is a people person and we became good friends. I would trust Garry with my life and his reputation proceeds him.
Sue Garland is Garry's number two and I can't say enough good things about her. She was always there for me if Garry was unavailable for any reason.

To say I was pleased with the outcome is the greatest understatement of the year. I cannot thank Watkin And Gunn, Garry and Sue enough for everything they have done for me.
The service was exceptional and they are quite simply the best.
