I found Shahar to be extremely helpful and professional. Communication via email or phone was also very good, which in my experience isn’t always the case with solicitors. Thank you for your service. I would highly recommend and will use his services again in the future.
Many thanks

Professional service, smooth experience

A slow and arduous process made simple and relatively pain-free by competent professionals. Any aspect of the case within their control was dealt with swiftly and properly. Big thanks to Chloe and Lauren for all their help and I will certainly consider using Sweeney Miller Law again should I require a solicitor.

Everyone I dealt with was very professional, friendly, helpful and also sympathetic of the fact I'd lost my Mam. Charlotte Cairns was the main person I dealt with. I returned to Sweeney Miller after a positive experience with a different department there when purchasing my home and have already planned to use them to draw up a will for me.

Professional and efficient team of Sweetney miller

My agency had recommended Sweetney Miller solicitor for our property purchase process. When I checked their website, they had very high rating and positive reviews and feedback. So I went with them. As I am new to the process, I had raised multiple questions at multiple occasions. They had detailed me each and every step with full details and patience. Chloe Cheeseborough was handling my case. She informed me each and every step in this process, and also patiently answered all my queries in the process which is almost 2 months. And also she considered many of my opinions during the searches and promptly responded all my emails. I am so happy that my purchase completed faster and smoothly without any delays and blockages. I would highly recommend both sweetney millers team and chloe for their professional service and professional handling of the cases. Thanks a lot team. Keep up your good work and all the best for your success.

Exceptional service from Mona and Damien. Sweeney Miller did a fantastic job on conveyancing for a flat affected by the Building Safety Act. Some others would not even provide a quote for me so I am extremely grateful.

We have used Sweeney Miller to undertake the conveyancing process in 3 purchases and two sales over the last 6 or 7 years and have ben more than satisfied with the service on each occasion. That's hopefully us done now for a few years but just to say we don't bother shopping around for conveyancing solicitors any more because we have no need to. Highly recommended.
