Georgina was amazing from start to finish, she understood my case and was so reassuring when I had to go to court for financial settlement as part of the divorce process . I knew that if I had any questions throughout the process then I could ask her. I would completely recommend Georgina for a professional and caring approach if you have divorce and/or financial settlement issues .

I have been with Georgina for 13years with various child legality cases and she has always represented us professionally. We have depended on her representation and have found her knowledge, reliability and experience vital to our success in litigation. It feels like we have been through a 13year war and without her presence and cunning we would still be fighting alone. I can absolutely say, without a doubt, we wouldn’t have a family without her. I cannot recommend her or this legal firm enough.

Personal Injury Law
Chris
Collected on:
My personal injury claim was dealt with by Louise Plant.
I made contact with Prettys following a letter I received from the initial firm of solicitors I had chosen to represent me . After 12 months of chasing and frustration I was informed that they were not prepared to go forward with my case as they believed there was insufficient evidence to back my case in the event it went to court.
That was something I was not prepared to accept and within 15 minutes of speaking to Louise & providing her with the information I was told there was a good chance of success.
From that initial face to face conversation to the last email the service provided was first class. I was kept informed every step of the way and I felt confident that justice would be done.
If you want professionalism, dedication and commitment to the cause I simply cannot recommend Prettys , and in particular, Louise Plant highly enough.
In these challenging times the monetary compensation I received was welcome but had become pretty much irrelevant to me. My case was a simple one of right and wrong. Without the highly competent solicitor I ended up with I would have been left with a massive sense of injustice. Louise not only did her job, most importantly to me…. she totally understood what it meant to me. That in my mind is going above & beyond. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with a person who I’m quite sure has received many compliments in the past. All I can say is that I will not hesitate to recommend Louise Plant to anyone in need of a TOP solicitor. Thank you for an excellent service.

Dear Chris Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this excellent review. We're very pleased that you were happy with the outcome of your matter, and have passed your praise on to Louise. Kind regards, Poppy

Matter Type:
Residential Conveyancing
Andrew
Collected on:
I recently completed a UK house sale and purchase with Pretty's in Ipswich. The process was quite complicated in several regards. I live overseas, i needed to transact the sale and the purchase within a fairly tight schedule, there were tax rules to be complied with both in the UK and in my country of residence.
Most of the firms I spoke to did not want to engage given the complexity. I spoke to the Head of Residential Conveyancing who advised that they would be able to act for me with the understanding that they could not advise on overseas legal or taxation issues which was fine as I had already engaged with a firm to handle this.
The experience was flawless. Pretty's have an expert staff who explained the process, executed, kept me updated, provided guidance on decisions that needed to be made and were a pleasure to work with. This was clearly, as we say, "not their first rodeo".
I would recommend this firm unreservedly. Heidi and Jade are a great team and delivered first class service.

Dear Andrew, Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad that our Residential Property team exceeded your expectations and will be sure to pass on your praise to Heidi and Jade. Kind regards, Poppy

What a fabulous conveyancing team. We wanted to move house before Christmas, so like most people we were in a hurry to get the conveyancing done. We used Penny and her team about 10 years ago, she sorted out a "land locked" problem a previous Ipswich firm had not picked up on - I chose Prettys because I knew they covered every little detail and were a safe pair of hands. This time they picked up and sorted a land registry problem and despite the additional work and complications they got everything through in 8 weeks and hit the deadline. Thanks Prettys.
