Sarah Watson

Tagged solicitor Sarah Watson

Over the past 18months we had been involved in a dispute with a debtor , we found Sarah of Hallmark Whatley Hulme absolutely excellent through out the whole process and cannot praise her enough. She was always clear with the advise she gave and always explained the on going situation in terms we could understand and was always prompt with replies to give further advise as was necessary.

Milka Michael

Tagged solicitor Milka Michael

I had a very long sale with various complications and Milka Michaels at Owen White and Catlin held my hand the whole way through with great patience, tenacity, pragmatism and empathy. Technically very able but how she cared for me through what was a very stressful situation is testimony to her personal attributes over and above her professional competency and excellence.

Leanne Schneider-Rose

Tagged solicitor Leanne Schneider-Rose

We are a small Bridging Loan company based in the midlands. As with any similar type of business, on occasions, at the end of the contractually agreed term, borrowers do not always repay what they should. We have used Leanne Schneider-Rose & her team on a number of occasions to help with this occurrence. Whether it’s a "firm but fair" solicitors’ letter, legal proceedings against the borrower, or inevitably in some cases repossession & recovery, we have always found Sydney Mitchell LLP to be highly effective, even in the most challenging of situations. Leanne gives good solid advice, which ensures that whatever method is successful in recovering our debt, we have always followed the correct legal route.

Austin BlackburnJamie CarrKaren Bussell

Tagged solicitors Austin Blackburn, Jamie Carr and Karen Bussell

My family have used Nash since c. 2003, and during those few decades I've become a full customer, taking care of all my personal and business legal needs. Running a small business has required the services of legal experts who not only understand how the law works, but can see the company through the eyes of those it deals with. I've had to navigate issues like holding companies, share buy-backs, due diligence, litigation, human resources cases, and a number of personal / domestic matters. I've always felt very well supported and by knowledgeable professionals who are always accessible. I look forward to continuing to use Nash & Co going forwards, confident of excellent services.
