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).
