Excellent and professional service.

Excellent advice on wills and inheritance tax. Sophie Booker was clear, knowledgeable, and highly professional throughout. Arranging our first meeting was quick and easy, and Sophie responded promptly to our enquiry. She listened patiently to our needs and questions and provided clear, practical advice tailored to our circumstances. Her expertise in wills and inheritance tax was evident, and she explained everything in a straightforward way that gave us complete confidence in our decisions. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone seeking expert legal advice in this area.

Sophie Booker = Superb!

Sophie Booker handled my late sister's estate. She had passed away unexpectedly, leaving no will...and a big mess. As a Canadian, I found most aspects - selling the house, dealing with the government offices, dealing with banks - confusing and radically different from Canadian rules. Sophie was always patient and clear in explaining everything. She anticipated questions and never let geography (a 5-hr time difference) ever get in the way of timely communication. And, she has a great sense of humour too!

We can’t thank Lauren and the team at Setfords enough for their support in selling our late brother’s house. From start to finish, Lauren was professional, compassionate, and incredibly efficient, guiding us through what was an emotional and sometimes overwhelming process. She kept us well-informed at every stage and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’re so grateful for her kindness and expertise during a difficult time, and we would not hesitate to recommend Lauren and Setfords to anyone looking for a caring and highly capable solicitor.

I had a great experience with Sajith Pillai at Setfords. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the conveyancing process. Sajith kept me informed, responded to my questions promptly, and made what can often be a stressful process feel much smoother. I really appreciated his attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to getting everything completed efficiently. He was approachable, reassuring, and always made me feel that my matter was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Sajith Pillai and Setfords to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and trustworthy conveyancing solicitor. Thank you.
