I recommend Terina to help you through a hard experience

I used Down's back in 2020 - 2022 to get divorced. It was a toxic and horrible situation and Terina's guidance, wisdom, knowledge and practical concern, really helped be during what was a very hard time. I got what I wanted, which was divorced, and I honestly used to really look forward to my calls with Terina to help me through it all. I recommend Down's. Their service was kind and polite.

Exceptional

Carol has guided me through an unfamiliar process with calmness, professionalism, and deep expertise, which I have found hugely reassuring as my divorce progresses. Her experience is evident in everything she does: she is pragmatic, judicious, and highly responsive, and she navigates the legal complexities with clarity and care. I have no doubt that Carol will help me achieve a fair outcome, whether through mediation or, if needed, further proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend Carol.

Excellent service so far from Kate Matthews

Kate took the time to fully understand the problem I was having with my clients and pro-actively discussed the different options available to get to resolution as quickly as possible and without spending excessive amounts on lawyers bills! Very pleased with the service so far, would highly recommend.

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!

Elizabeth Barrett has been instrumental in supporting me and working towards my recent Settlement Agreement. Her professional approach, help and advice definitely eased the process for me. Downs have dealt with a number of matters for me over the years, and yet again, they have delivered. 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.

Outstabnding service

I cannot recommend Bill Rashbrook at Downs Solicitors highly enough. Our sale involved an extremely complex issue with our freeholder that prevented us from exchanging contracts. My original solicitors were unable to deal with the complexities of amending the lease, and it looked as though the sale might not be able to proceed. Bill took ownership of the matter from the outset and gave us complete confidence that it could be resolved. No problem was ever too big, and his professionalism, knowledge, and determination were outstanding throughout. Behind the scenes, Bill worked tirelessly, coordinating with the freeholder, the freeholder's solicitors, my buyers' solicitors, my onward purchase solicitors, and the estate agents involved in both transactions. He kept everything moving forward, resolved issues as they arose, and ultimately achieved what others had been unable to do. Without Bill's expertise and persistence, I genuinely don't believe our sale and purchase would have completed. He went above and beyond at every stage, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did.

We could not have asked for more!

Bill and Natasja were great to work with. They were pleasant and professional, knowledgeable and proactive, prompt, efficient and kept us well informed throughout - we could not have asked for more. We were trying to buy a flat for my father-in-law. Bill's intuition on the first was spot on, and we pulled out. On the second, from instruction to completion it took just 5 weeks, despite 2 Bank Holiday weekends! Thank you! Highly recommended.

The support and help given to me by Liz and Bronwyn was second to none. They were there for me when I needed it most with the ups and downs of selling my property. The personal interest they took was incredible. They stayed with me through to the end of this difficult and stressful sale . Thank you Liz and Bronwyn
