Would definitely recommend

Heidi was quick to respond. Helpful and friendly. It was a sad time for us as a family and at no time did I have added pressure or stress. Quite the opposite. Probate was issued in remarkably quick time. The whole experience was smooth and uncomplicated. I will contact Heidi again for future help .

Review for Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors

I am extremely grateful to have had the best advice, expertise and support from Heidi Shearman. The dedication to deliver exceptional legal services truly stands out. I appreciate the time that was taken to explain the legal process to me with a friendly approach and attention to detail was impressive. I had many questions and concerns and was always patiently and repeatedly put at ease by explaining what I did not understand. Excellent and thank you.

Outstanding Service from a Top Professional
I have been delighted with every aspect of Gwen’s handling of the sale of my sister's flat. Her communication has been excellent and her response time to queries has been exceptional. My interests have been at the forefront of everything she has done. Thank you so much Gwen.

I had the pleasure of working with Gwen Li and the team at Parfitt Cresswell for the purchase of my first property, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. What can often be a complicated and overwhelming process was made incredibly smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and clear communication. Gwen & Patuni, in particular, were fantastic—knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to explain things in a way that made sense. I felt well-informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend Gwen and the Parfitt Cresswell team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional legal service.

I was recommended Parfitt Cresswell through my parents who sold a property a few years ago.
I was undergoing a transfer of equity to an ex partner, Gwen and Patuni helped me along the way. Fantastic service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend and will certainly be using the firm if needed in future.
Thank you Gwen and thank you Patuni!

Gwen is one of those really rare gems that cares about you and your property as much as you do.

She’s unbelievably diligent, extremely responsive and goes against every stereotype of what solicitors are meant to be!

Patuni was also amazing and they make a fantastic team that has saved us endless headaches and really went to extra mile to make sure we were fully covered and moving ahead at all times.

Can’t recommend them enough!

When we ask Mr J Andrew’s to make a will and Lasting Power of attorney for us we found him very pleasant and explained everything very carefully so we understood.
We would recommend him anytime to family and friends. We will definitely use him again should we need too.
