Superb

I’ve had an excellent experience with Blacks Solicitors. In particular, our conveyancer, Sharon Jennings, has been absolutely superb throughout the whole process. She has always been quick to respond, clear in her advice, and very supportive, which made everything run smoothly. I couldn’t recommend her and the firm highly enough.

Excellent Service for a Lease Extension Matter.

Blacks Solicitors and Julie Powell in particular was a huge help with one of our client's lease extension processes. She handled everything smoothly and kept communication clear and consistent throughout. Her proactive approach really made things easier for everyone involved. Great to work with and I look forward to working with her and the firm in the future. Thanks again Julie!
