Pamela Lacey

Tagged solicitor Pamela Lacey

We went to Pamela for advice, wow! We had been turned away by previous solicitors and some had been quite rude but not Maxwell solicitors, they were so polite and accommodating we had a phone call from the lovely Pamela who listened to what was important to us, we then arranged to see her in person and she had such a lovely way with our 6 year old daughter it left us with full confidence that not only was she very efficient in her job but she was a kind natured person who genuinely cares about her clients. Whatever the outcome we are grateful!

Kim Connolly

Tagged solicitor Kim Connolly

We have used Kim on several occasions. She is knowledgable, pragmatic, engaging, professional and “ commercial” in giving practical, solutions orientated advice. A pleasure to deal with. With our latest transaction she managed to complete a complex transaction in a short time frame and did so without fuss or fluster despite the added pressure of pace.

Arj Arul

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul

I can't recommend Arj and his team highly enough - compared to many other lawyers and law firms I've worked with they're a pleasure: responsive, clear, intelligent, knowledgable, pragmatic, empathetic and humane, and great value for money. The services they've provided in our 'start up' years have been perfectly suited to a small team.
