Phil Moir
Director
“Very happy with the service from Phil Moir and the larger team at Richard Reed. Never having had the need previously for any legal advice/help the matter did seem somewhat daunting to me but Mr Moir has been helpful, knowledgeable, patient and responsive. The matter hasn’t been fully resolved as yet….but we are nearly there and I’m very pleased with the service so far.”

“I think when getting Legal advice it can be a real mistake to go for the cheapest price! I am glad I did not do that and instructed Pool Alcock to act on my behalf in a land dispute. Everything was left to them and this resulted in winning my case - it looked like the person I was in dispute with went for the 'cheaper' Solicitor... A special mention for one of the partners Daniel Brookes who was superb from start to finish. Highly recommended..........”

“My call was answered by Tom Barry this morning and he was incredibly conscientious and helpful in giving me initial advice towards settling a dispute I have had with the seller of a pony I purchased, which was misrepresented and mis-sold and has put both myself and that is my young child in danger! He kindly gave me advice and signed posting towards free services and also detailed what I can do myself before formally progressing with paying a retainer for legal service services. I really really appreciate appreciated Tom’s support and knowledge and I’m very thankful.”
