Richard Jonathan Ennis

Tagged solicitor Richard Jonathan Ennis

Very friendly, empathetic, highly experienced and professional. Richard was not only highly diligent in his work, but but very thoughtful about strategy on how to approach and put across his counsel in layman's terms so it was easy to understand conclude on instructions. Very collaborative, yet led firmly with his expertise.

Amanda Watts

Tagged solicitor Amanda Watts

I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).
