Mark was and still is one of the best lawyers I have dealt. A smooth transaction from start to finish and I could not have done it without Mark. Mark was very professional and has great empathy, knowledge, guided me in the right direction to deal with a difficult matter which has taken me a long time to do. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark Hood or Goughs to friends and family.

Samantha was very helpful and sympathetic to the fact Id recently lost my husband and was a little emotional at times. She listened to my needs and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Samantha went above and beyond to reassure me in the matters that my late husband left.

This review is for a different branch.
I chose Goughs initially as they are local to me but I am so glad when I was warmly welcomed by Natalie. She was so patient and understanding especially dealing with somebody who really quite frightened at the prospect of what whas happening and didn't know which way to turn first!.
She dealt with everything in a kind and professional way which gave me the courage to stick to my guns with the demands that were made of me. Her attention to detail never wavered.
She would make herself available to be contacted easily and never failed to return a call or email, sometimes late into the evenings.
I cannot thank her enough for guiding me through the unenviable process, from start to finish, and also to the rest of her team.
A representative from Goughs Lawyers Llp responded to this review on 29 July, 2025:
Good morning, Thank you very much for taking the time to review Goughs, and more importantly, Natalie. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional client care, so it is very pleasing to hear when that makes such a positive difference for our clients. With best wishes

I was very happy with the support I received from Goughs during a post-divorce financial settlement. I felt as though I could reach out at any point if I had concerns or needed clarification and the advice I was given helped me avoid some potentially very difficult financial arrangements. Many thanks again to the team, Rhianna in particular. It was excellent to have you on my side.
A representative from Goughs Lawyers Llp responded to this review on 15 November, 2024:
