    I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. From the very beginning he was professional, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and kept me informed throughout the process. His advice was honest, practical, and always within our best interests. I truly felt that he cared about achieving the best outcome for me and my son. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

    I recently used Richard Reed Solicitors for the purchase of my new home, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and reassuring. What really impressed me was how quickly everything was handled, they managed to complete the whole process in just 6 weeks! Communication was clear and timely, and I always felt like I knew where things stood. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. The whole team was approachable and genuinely supportive, which made a big difference. I highly recommend Richard Reed Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive solicitor.

      Getting to

      I had an excellent experience at Richard Reed redoing my will. The young woman solicitor dealing with it was kind, knowledgable and helpful. However there is no parking close to their new address for elderly people, so I found that problematic.

      Excellent service from Kat and Hilda during a distressing work place issue, resulting in clear explanations of my settlement agreement, guidance on negotiating and finally a stress free conclusion for myself. Great communication and clear, fast responses to any questions I had. Great service, would definitely recommend and use again if needed.
