I would highly recommend Setfords Law Ltd to anyone looking for legal support. I first used Setfords for a CIFAS case with Jeremy Asher, then worked with Donna Simpson-Strange following my redundancy, and most recently with Terry Chetwood for my will. What really stands out is the consistently professional experience I have had with everyone I have dealt with at Setfords. They take the time to ask the right questions, understand the background and what is actually needed, and explain things in simple, straightforward terms that I can understand. No matter how many questions I ask, they remain patient and take the time to explain things properly. I never feel that my questions are a burden. This makes a real difference and is why I have confidence in them and trust the people I deal with. My experience has been so positive that I have recommended Setfords to an ex-colleague dealing with an employment dismissal and, more recently, to my sister for advice on HMRC, director liability and insolvency. My sister is now working with Wilson Hill. For me, recommending a law firm to colleagues and family is a reflection of the trust I have in them. Having used Setfords for several different matters and experienced the same professionalism and patience throughout, I would happily recommend them to anybody.

Professional and Efficient Service from Start to Finish

Sonal recently assisted us with the sale of our property, and we were very pleased with the service we received. Sonal and her team handled the entire process with professionalism and efficiency. From initial instruction through to completion, the whole process took approximately one month, which was an excellent turnaround. We are very grateful to Sonal and her team for making the process so straightforward and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Excellent service and wonderful solicitors!

We would like to say a huge thank you to Margarita Ivanova and Kateryna for all their help and support throughout the purchase of our new home. Buying a house can be a stressful process, but they made everything much easier for us. They were professional, friendly, patient and always happy to explain things clearly and answer our questions. We truly appreciate all their hard work and support. We are very happy with the service we received and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a property. Thank you both so much!

Excellent professional service

I couldn’t recommend Margarita highly enough! She did an excellent job with my first property purchase, guiding me through the modern auction process and making everything feel clear and stress-free. She was incredibly quick to reply, always helpful, and patient with all my questions. Her professionalism, support and attention to detail made such a difference throughout the whole process. I felt reassured knowing she was handling everything. Thank you, Margarita, for all your hard work, you’ve been wonderful!

I used Monica Pitts-Robinson at Setfords for my house purchase after she was recommended by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. She was incredibly thorough, super responsive, and kept me informed at every stage. Monica clearly explained her lines of enquiry and was reassuring throughout, while always presenting the facts objectively. We completed in around eight weeks, which I was really pleased with. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

My son purchased a property recently and Sharon Galley dealt with the conveyancing. As a first time buyer, I assisted him and Sharon always kept myself and my son well informed. She was always very happy to help my son with any queries he had and was always extremely professional and friendly. She went above and beyond, sometimes responding to questions late at night or on a weekend. The process ran so smoothly and my son was delighted with the service. We both would highly recommend Sharon to any potential house buyers.
