A personal and professional service

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and level of service. Other high street and online firms here quoted much more, and the level of service there was questionable. I was particularly impressed with the personal and professional nature in which the matter was handled and would not hesitate to recommend this firm to others.

A Friendly and Reassuring Experience

We'd been putting off sorting out our legal affairs regarding our Wills and LPA's, expecting it to be a daunting experience. However, our appointments were convenient to us, the information given in a reassuring manner and answers repeated frequently if that was requested. As a family, we are now confident that our affairs are in order and reflect our wishes.

My Recent Experience with GoodLaw Solicitors For Our New Wills

Initial correspondance and meeting set up was quick, easy and efficient. First consultation was thorough and answered all questions we had. Draft Wills supplied in a timely manner. Signing and closing meeting was smooth, simple and efficient.

Rachel is extremely knowledgable and approachable.

Given the abundance of subpar solicitors, it was a relief to find Goodlaw (special mention to Gareth). Timely, quality and professional advice that could be understood in plain English. Highly appreciated for what turned out to be a rather complex case.

Having merged with castle solictors, i was a bit unsure about using them, to amend my complicated will. I shouldn't have worried, Alix and Matthew took time to explain and help me. Thank you Alix and Matthew for your good service.

We used goodlaw for our conveyancing.

Gareth Collins has been amazing throughout the whole process and could not have been more helpful.

Gareth and his team have been extremely responsive, answering all our questions quickly and answered my many, many calls without making me feel like I was pestering them (even though I likely was - sorry!!!).

Gareth knew our situation and that we were on a tight deadline to compelte before the stamp duty relief deadline. He ensured he did everything possible to make this happen and I’m so pleased that his hard work has paid off and we have exchanged today (after many issues that Gareth had to overcome).

The professionalism shown throughout has been second to none. I was particularly impressed with the advice I recieved and the time taken to explain things to me.

I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us Gareth and would not hesitate to use you again, and will certainly recommend you to everyone!!

Thanks again, you have made the whole process less stressful, and pushed things on when they could’ve caused us to miss out on the relief.

We’ve had an excellent experience with GoodLaw, with Gareth providing a service above and beyond for our conveyancing. Gareth was always available via telephone and email. The buyers of our property used a rogue conveyancer but Gareth took it all in his stride and did everything possible to get our move complete. Gareth brought levity to what would have otherwise been a stressful situation. Could not recommend them more.The value was excellent and we’ll always use GoodLaw!

We had the slightly nervy prospect of Goodlaw taking over the previous law offices during the conveyancing of our house purchase!

I have to say, the transition was a marvellous upgrade and our conveyancer mkII (Gareth) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We are in Buckinghamshire not Sussex and used Goodlaw on recommendation. I will happily pass on the same to anyone who asks.

First class service.
