Tia Harrison

Tagged solicitor Tia Harrison

Tia recently assisted me with a particularly complicated and onerous legal situation. Time was of the essence, Tia's approach was professional, pragmatic and robust, always prompt and absolutely reliable with regard responding to myself and other parties involved. As previously stated we had little time however Tia's knowledge and expertise became very evident very quickly. The case was successful and I have no doubt that this was due not only to Tia's experience and capabilities but also down to her sincere approach, ability to listen and take the time to understand. I would engage again without a moment's hesitation and I cannot recommend to others more highly.

Vanessa Gillbanks

Tagged solicitor Vanessa Gillbanks

I found Vanessa Gillbanks extremely helpful and informative, using language that was easy to understand at a time that was very stressful to me. I would readily recommend this company. The charges were advised to me before I started any proceedings which of course was preferable as I was able to budget for these. I am completely happy to go back to Richard Nelson LLP for any future needs.

Claire Porter at Chester office was absolutely brilliant when acting for me during my divorce. Her professionalism and care was exemplary. I would definitely recommend Claire. I'd also like to say the same of Sara Williams who worked for me dealing with the purchase of my new home. If anyone is looking for the best service please try SAS Daniels.

Stuart Tyler

Tagged solicitor Stuart Tyler

​After a very poor experience with a previous firm, finding Stuart was incredibly refreshing. The level of service was night and day. ​From start to finish, Stuart was: ​Extremely Knowledgeable: His expertise was evident from the start. He was consistently ahead of the game and nothing escaped his attention. ​Efficient and Responsive: He provided speedy answers and clear communication, meaning I was never left wondering about the status of my case. ​Completely Stress-Free: I encountered absolutely no problems throughout the entire process. If you want someone professional who gets the job done without the usual headaches, I highly recommend Stuart. ​

Emma was professional, easy to understand and knowledgeable. The office in Epworth is just a counter, not very inviting. The whole process was easy
