Luke Cheshire

Tagged solicitor Luke Cheshire

Honestly I can't recommend Albin and Co Solicitors especially Luke Cheshire from the Reading base enough. He was absolutely amazing from the very beginning, right up till the very end. He was extremely professional and explained everything to me everytime and was absolutely amazing with my self. He took the time to get to know myself and my daughter and helped my daughters voice be heard. My daughter has many complex needs and he done his absolute best to make sure everyone understood her needs to make sure the outcome was what was best for my daughter. He's so patient and was there no matter what when I needed to speak to him etc. He truly got to know myself and my family and always made myself feel comfortable and safe. He was always made available throughout the whole year and half he was invovled and I never felt alone in any of it. Albin and Co are truly professional and truly have the best interests of their clients at heart. Thank you for everything Luke and the team, you were truly Amazing and held me together through such a hard time! You went above and beyond for myself and my family. Amazing Solicitors who are nothing more then professional and truly are lovely. Thank you!

Michelle Collins

Tagged solicitor Michelle Collins

I have worked with the Private Client team for nearly a decade (relating to post-bereavement matters) and have found them responsive, knowledgeable and - most importantly - able to speak in plain English. The issues I have faced have felt complex and overwhelming. They have helped me to understand what's needed and helped me put in a plan to work through and resolve issues.

Peter Martin

Tagged solicitor Peter Martin

I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.
