Great experience with Richard Reed

Richard Reed have been brilliant working through what has been a very difficult process of sorting my late fathers estate. Both Kat and Phil could not have been better and made an awful process easier credit also to Hilda for her kind words and help. Annaliese has also been a great help sorting probate . Would not hesitate in recommending this firm of solicitors.

Drawing up of a will

Solicitor, Helena Dar, professional; did everything speedily; kept me informed at every stage & explained all; asked me if I had any questions. Was reassuring throughout; put me at my ease, because I was a bit reticent & nervous I was making sense. All documentation was sent speedily to me. I especially appreciated the sheet itemising the bill & the fact that it said “total to be paid.” So, I was in no doubt what the final bill to be paid was. Furthermore, the receptionist initially, who took my phone call was efficient & friendly. And, Helena, the solicitor, phoned me very soon after that initial contact, to arrange to come out to my house to discuss matters. As I am disabled & cannot walk a lot because of my knee & hip (a little) arthritis, I was so, so relieved, when Helena said I need not visit the office, but she would come to my house & later she & a witness visited me for me to sign the will. I will always consult this firm, if I need a solicitor & will highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal help. A much appreciative client, congratulations to all, who made my experience at drawing up my will so easy & enjoyable.

We are delighted to hear that Helena made you feel reassured and at ease throughout the process of preparing your Will. We understand how important it is for our clients to feel comfortable and confident, so we are particularly pleased that Helena was able to visit you at home and make the process as straightforward and convenient as possible.

Thank you again for your very kind words and for saying that you would recommend Richard Reed Solicitors. We will make sure your wonderful feedback is shared with Helena and the rest of the team.

We recently used the services of Richard Reed Solicitors to help us write a new will and to avail ourselves of their expertise in the creation of Lasting Power of Attorney. We found to our delight that the experience was one of reassurance and complete confidence in the execution of this task. We would like to express our sincere thanks to them and in particular Mr. Jonny Cockayne for his pleasant manner and swift conclusion to these matters. We would have no hesitation recommending Richard Reed to anyone seeking legal assistance. Stewart A. Taylor

Two sales and one purchase!

From start to finish on all three properties, the compliance teams were fantastic. One was the sale of my Dads house who had sadly passed and Nicola was so good and compassionate. Special mention must go to Lynn and Julie, paralegals who were outstanding. I would recommend Richard Reed 100%.

Fabulous solicitors for convenyancing

I’ve never come across such competent and professional solicitors when it comes to conveyancing. I dealt mostly with Lynn Liddle throughout the process and she was absolutely fantastic, always helpful, responsive and kept everything moving smoothly. My named solicitor was Steven Douglas. As a repeat customer, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I’ve been extremely impressed with the service and wouldn’t go anywhere else for my future conveyancing needs. Highly recommended!

Great choice for a house purchase. My side was completed in a very efficient manner, responses always within 24 hours and provides explanations when requested. While reasonably priced, you do get what you pay for and I would recommend Richard Reed above any high street offering.
