Daniel Couchman

Tagged solicitor Daniel Couchman

Hiring Daniel is possibly the wisest decision you’ll make this year. In a time of great personal anguish Daniel employed his very considerable knowledge and expertise to successfully shield and defend myself and my family from an unjustified legal offensive following a commercial dispute. We’re among those clients he successfully helped “get out of a deep hole”. In engaging Daniel you have the assurance of a lawyer who acts for you with the same commitment and determination as he would if acting for his own mother.

Laura Franklin

Tagged solicitor Laura Franklin

I emailed Laura and she got back to me really quickly with expected costs and timeframe. I booked an appointment and I have to say Laura was amazing explaining my agreement in detail and the reasons for the amendments she was making. I had 100% confidence that Laura was going to do her best for me. Laura made the whole process quick and relatively painless. Thank you Laura.

Max Kennedy

Tagged solicitor Max Kennedy

I cannot thank Max Kennedy enough for his legal expertise and professionalism. I had been let down by another firm of Solicitors who should have been dealing with a time critical piece of work for me. After chasing them for several weeks regarding the progress, I was eventually told on Monday 22nd February that the solicitor dealing with the buyout had left the practice, had done absolutely nothing on my file and there was no one in the practice that could take the work on! I was devastated. After doing some research my friend ‘found’ Max Kennedy. I phoned your Worksop branch and outlined my situation to the receptionist. She passed my details on to Max and he immediately phoned me. He was absolutely lovely and asked me to email him an overview and the contracts. Max phoned me back within a very short space of time and said he would be able to act for me and deliver his part within the exceptionally tight time scale of five days inclusive. The following day (23rd February) I received an email from Max at 19.48 in the evening, stating the contract alterations were now complete. Amazing! I asked Max if he could contact the opposing solicitor to undertake any negotiation and bring the deal over the line by Friday 26th at the latest. Max immediately did this, keeping me up to speed at every point. He phoned me on Thursday 25th to confirm the deal had been concluded! As far as I am concerned Max went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of the transaction. I was completely dazzled by his professionalism yet lovely and friendly nature. He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for myself, and I can't thank him enough. I’ve have engaged solicitors previously but Max is in another league! He truly is inspirational and a credit to both Foys and the Law. I will certainly be giving Max and your firm a massive recommendation to all my friends and family! With thanks

Deborah Melluish

Tagged solicitor Deborah Melluish

I have had occasion to work with Deborah several times over the past 15 years in both a business and personal capacity. I have always found her very knowledgeable, personable and pleasant to deal with. She always meets her deadlines (as long as she has the necessary information from her clients and other parties). I would highly recommend Deborah and other members of the Corporate team at Eaton Smith
