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.

Nicola was extremely helpful to me whilst navigating difficult legal proceedings dealing with child arrangements. Her advice was professional and clear and I’m pleased to say we had a good outcome in court. She had a good understanding of the domestic abuse element to my case and I have returned to her again for further advice.

Having never thought I would be in a position to need a solicitor I found myself with no option and no idea what to ‘look for’ so I went with my heart and gut and a person who seemed very trustworthy and professional - well that was the right decision and Nicola has been incredible. It’s been a long and windy journey and without Nicola goodness knows what would have happened - she not only was amazing professionally but also believed in me when I didn’t. The children and I will be forever grateful. Thank you and also to the team at downs.

I have recently sold my property through Downs Solicitors having been recommended them by son who found Liz very helpful when buying his first home. Liz and Bronwyn have provided excellent service - keeping me up to date and always prompt with their responses. I cannot fault them or recommend them highly enough.

Hi Debbie. We're so thrilled that Liz and Bronwyn provided you with such excellent service, especially given we were a recommendation by your son. We very much appreciate when people recommend us, so we're thrilled that you would also recommend us - what a wonderful sign of Liz and Bronwyn's service levels. We will pass these comments on to Liz and Bronwyn and we are very grateful to you for taking the time to leave this review. We hope to work with you again in the future. The Downs Team.
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!
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass this on to Lily.

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.

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.

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).

Fantastic service from Liz, Bronwyn, and Priscilla throughout my property purchase. Professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive from start to finish. They kept everything moving smoothly and made what could have been a stressful process so much easier. Highly recommend!

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. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review, we will make sure that we pass your kind words on to Bill and Natasja. The Downs Team.
