Michael Brierley

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.

Katrina Whyard

Tagged solicitor Katrina Whyard

Katrina was (and is) fantastic. She came highly recommended from my mortgage broker – I can see why, now – and did wonders. I had quite a tight deadline for a divorce-mandated transfer of property and remortgage, for quite a complex little right-to-manage flat in London, and she was thorough, persistent and highly communicative throughout. She pulled out all the stops and couldn’t have been more helpful and collaborative. I got a much better service than I ever expected and would recommend Katrina unreservedly!
