I recommend Terina to help you through a hard experience

I used Down's back in 2020 - 2022 to get divorced. It was a toxic and horrible situation and Terina's guidance, wisdom, knowledge and practical concern, really helped be during what was a very hard time. I got what I wanted, which was divorced, and I honestly used to really look forward to my calls with Terina to help me through it all. I recommend Down's. Their service was kind and polite.

Exceptional

Carol has guided me through an unfamiliar process with calmness, professionalism, and deep expertise, which I have found hugely reassuring as my divorce progresses. Her experience is evident in everything she does: she is pragmatic, judicious, and highly responsive, and she navigates the legal complexities with clarity and care. I have no doubt that Carol will help me achieve a fair outcome, whether through mediation or, if needed, further proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend Carol.

Excellent service so far from Kate Matthews

Kate took the time to fully understand the problem I was having with my clients and pro-actively discussed the different options available to get to resolution as quickly as possible and without spending excessive amounts on lawyers bills! Very pleased with the service so far, would highly recommend.

Bill is always quick to respond to any queries, both by email and phone. He is flexible and happy to adapt to the clients requirements to ease the process, he is helpful and gives good advice. The communication is always timely and clear. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services and use him again should the need arise.

I have used Liz and Bronwyn at Downs Solicitors a few times now and they always deliver to the time scale and accuracy that is required, even when I have given them a tight deadline. They always keep me informed and updated on a timely manner and are a joy to work with. I would have no hesitation to recommend Liz and Bronwyn to anyone that would require their services.

Liz Rose was excellent from start to finish. She always replied to emails the same or next day and would phone back asap if no answer (but normally there always was). She was very clear with her information and always happy to explain when we had questions. Would (and have already) recommend to anyone in need of a solicitor! We would definitely ask for Liz at Downs next time we need a solicitor.

Having contacted Downs for legal advice, I was promptly called back by Lily who handled my query not only with professionalism but also with a particularity sympathetic attitude. Having outlined various options, she provided expert advice on how best to proceed with which I was happy to concur. Altogether, first class service combined with an empathetic approach - thank you Lily!

Elizabeth Barrett has been instrumental in supporting me and working towards my recent Settlement Agreement. Her professional approach, help and advice definitely eased the process for me. Downs have dealt with a number of matters for me over the years, and yet again, they have delivered. Thank you!

If you're after the best in class, you've come to the right place!

Terina and the team have been an absolute godsend when it came to handling the difficult and often emotional process of dealing with divorce. She was always on hand and made me feel as comfortable and up to date with the process at all times. If I ever have any friends of family needing advice, Terina is absolutely the first choice I would point them to without any doubt in my mind.

Professional, Friendly and Highly Effective Legal Support

We recently worked with Kate and her team on a legal matter and were extremely pleased with the service we received throughout. From the outset, Kate was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. She took the time to explain matters clearly, provided sound advice when needed, and always made us feel confident that our interests were being protected. What stood out most was the combination of professionalism and a genuinely friendly, approachable manner. Legal matters can often be stressful, but Kate made the process straightforward and reassuring from start to finish. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we achieved a successful outcome, and we are very grateful for all of her hard work and support. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate and her firm to anyone seeking reliable, professional legal advice delivered with exceptional client care. Thank you, Kate, for your outstanding service and for helping us achieve such a positive result.

Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. She supported me through my childcare arrangements, divorce, and financial matters with professionalism, care, and genuine empathy throughout the entire process. Nicola always took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and made what was a very stressful and emotional time much more manageable. Her compassionate approach, combined with her knowledge and attention to detail, gave me confidence and reassurance when I needed it most. I am incredibly grateful for all of her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who is both highly professional and truly caring.

We used Downs for a recent property purchase recently, and they were excellent throughout. Liz Rose led the process, with Bronwyn in support. I cannot speak more highly about them, and Liz especially. Incredibly diligent, communicative and timely with their responses. Would highly recommend. Thanks Liz and Bronwyn!

I have had the pleasure of working with Bill for the past year throughout my first home purchase. Bill was absolutely fantastic the whole time, always providing regular updates without even asking, he was kind, thorough and always took the time to be clear and concise with all the information that comes along with buying a property, especially for a first time buyer like me it can be quite a lot to take in! I would highly recommend Bill to anyone and I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Recently moved into our new home in Dorking and it went without a hitch thanks to Keury and Priscilla. They responded immediately if we contacted them by email/phone, they regularly updated on the progress of the purchase and were a pleasure to deal with. Cannot recommend enough, so pleased (and very reasonable fees).

Bill Rashbrook and Natasja Knudsen were excellent throughout the sale of our house. Bill, lead solicitor, was quick to respond, calm and confident in his advice, and always solutions-focussed. Natasja clearly and ably guided us through the opening and closing parts of the transaction. I’d recommend them in an instant. And when the time comes to sell again, I wouldn’t hesitate in instructing them again.

Dear Chris. Thank you so much for leaving this wonderful review of the service you received from Bill and Natasja, we are really pleased that you received such great support from them both on the sale of your house.
