KIndness and Professionalism

Nicola guided me through one of the most difficult periods of my life with kindness and professionalism. She was always available for reassurance and was clear as to what my options were and the consequences of each option. I felt protected legally and safe emotionally with Nicola. She dealt with me compassionately and with warmth. I felt in safe and capable hands- thank you.

Excellent advice and client relationship skills

Annabelle Hubbard has helped me with two matters at two firms now. She's been effective, clear and diligent and given excellent advice on both occasions. Moreover, she had the broad facts of my old case at her fingertips even though she had moved firms.

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.

I have had good legal advice from both Floris Shoebridge and Liz Rose regarding financial settlement and conveyancing matters. Their service has been excellent and beyond the norm. This is why I give 5 stars. Being new to working with these types of legal matters, one area I would have liked a little more of at the start is a very clear step by step process to follow. These things are massively complicated to a lay person so the legalese is hard to navigate. I definitely recommend their service.

Nicola Conley at Downs Solicitors, Dorking

I cannot recommend Nicola Conley at Downs Solicitors highly enough. Throughout one of the most difficult times in my life, Nicola was absolutely fantastic. She not only fought tirelessly for me and my two daughters, but she genuinely cared about us and our situation. What made Nicola exceptional was her patience, compassion and determination. She took the time to listen, understand our circumstances and provide honest, clear advice. She was firm when she needed to be, which was exactly what I needed, but she also offered reassurance and support during some incredibly tough moments. I never felt like I was just another case. Nicola genuinely cared about the outcome for me and my daughters, and that meant more than words can express. She fought for us right until the very last minute and never lost sight of what mattered most. Having a solicitor who is not only excellent at what she does but also genuinely compassionate makes all the difference, especially when your children and your future are involved. I will always be grateful to Nicola for her dedication, strength, patience and unwavering support. She is an absolute credit to Downs Solicitors, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who will truly listen, care and fight for them. Thank you, Nicola, for everything you did for me and my girls and I know exactly where to go if I ever find myself in and situation like this (hopefully never) Thank you.

Engaged Downs to help with our house move, which was far from straightforward, and they were absolutely superb. Bill took point and was fantastic, though the whole team were excellent to deal with. Fantastic communication, went above and beyond to help us through so I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I used Liz Rose to sell a property in Maidenhead. I have never had such a smooth experience selling a property. She was so knowledgeable about everything I asked her about. She always kept me up to date with how the sale was progressing and nothing was too much trouble. It’s great to have such a personal touch. I would highly recommend her.

Hi Rachel, thank you for taking the time to leave the review. It's wonderful to hear that your sale went through smoothly and you felt so well supported throughout. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review, it's much appreciated. The Downs Team.

I engaged Downs Solicitors to provide a conveyancing service for my mothers house. Bronwyn Olivier and Liz Rose provided a very good service and the transaction was completed very smoothly. I had a few problems getting all the documents sent by e mail however I was able to deliver them directly to the office where the reception team were very friendly and even made me a cup of tea whilst they processed the documents.
