Very honest & professional service from Watkins & Gunn Limited

I contacted Watkins & Gunn Limited, after what I assumed would be a complicated vehicle incident, Sara Jones dealt with my case & was open and honest from the beginning. Although this legal matter took some time to come to a complete resolution, due to the other party dragging their heels, I had been kept up to date with emails & phone calls throughout the whole process. Sara Jones was always on hand to answer any questions & concerns that I had, I can only recommend the service I received from Watkins & Gunn Limited as being a very upfront & honest.

Excellent legal advice and service

I was very impressed with the service received from Watkins and Gunn. Ffion was very helpful and explained all matters clearly. The communication, both over the telephone and via e-mail, was excellent and I was updated on a regular basis. Ffion made a situation which could have been difficult and uneasy run very smoothly. I would certainly recommend Watkins and Gunn.

Outstanding and Professional

Watkins & Gunn took on my injury claim from another solicitors firm who had done nothing for 2 years. Sara who personally dealt with the claim was amazing. She regularly kept me up to date and was clear and precise when explaining where we stood with things. Sara was on the ball with all relevant deadlines coming across as a person who 'gets the job done' For me personally it was the level of professionalism she displayed which made me feel I was in good hands. Anytime I contacted the firm I was able to speak to a person straight away and if Sara was not available she would always call back in a timely manner. I would recommend this company

A JOB WELL DONE

We have used Watkins & Gunn’s Pontypool solicitors for many years, as did our parents before us. On this occasion my sister and I turned to them again knowing it would be a job well done. And it was.

Thank you for navigating us through the conveyancing and house selling process so smoothly Sadia.

My sister and I had absolutely no idea what was involved but we were very pleased to have Sadia as our solicitor on this. Sadia dealt confidently with a raft of paper deeds dating back many years and gave us sound advice and kept us updated whenever we asked.

We felt we were in safe and competent hands with Sadia.

Good luck with your future career in the Law profession Sadia .

And thank you

A client

Watkins & Gunn Solicitors took on my injury claim after 2 years of nothing been done by another solicitors. To be honest I wasn't expecting anything due to the 2 years bad experience. I have to say that I have nothing but praise for this company, in particular, Sara who was personally dealing with my case. Sara was 100% on the ball. She consistently kept me up to date and kept me well informed of deadlines and how the case was going. Her manner on the phone came across as someone you could place confidence in and above all I was extremely impressed with her professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend this company for any legal matter. Couldn't thank Sara enough for finalising my injury claim which she made successful.
