The overall service was excellent. We appreciated the verbal exchanges between ourselves and Mr Fuller; they were always helpful, patient and clear. However, we did struggle somewhat in regard to the legal written phrasing, especially the final legal wording in the Wills themselves. Plain, straightforward written English is a cardinal virtue which can surely be utilised in all legal documents without loss of rigour. Transparency is not the opposite of rigour.

I had a call today with Shelley DeWorringham and was really impressed with her support. She was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. I felt genuinely listened to and reassured throughout the call. Her professionalism and empathy really stood out. I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone needing legal advice.

I saw Elizabeth Harris-Clark at your Telford offices, in December 2025. The advice she gave and the compassion she showed was second to none. The situation was a very sensitive one and Elizabeth handled it sensitively but professionally. I would certainly use her again and would recommend using her services/expertise, to anyone.

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

I can not recommend Mohammed highly enough . All Of the stress and anxiety was taken away because we were lessened to, given clear guidance from the start and the fact that someone was always available to speak to. I always left our meeting far happier than when I arrived and I felt that my concerns were always listened to and addressed with empathy. I never felt like a client , I was always made to feel that we mattered. This is imperative when you are going through such a stressful. Should we ever find ourselves in a position to require legal representation then I would not hesitate and I would know for sure that we are in the best hands possible

David is simply excellent - responsive and does not get into the silly arguments with other solicitors one often sees. He just gets his bit done, quickly ( super rare!) . Straightforward & sensible lawyer and sensibly priced - couldn't be happier with him.
