A professional and efficient service provided

I highly recommend Jane Pringle. She is very efficient and responds promptly to communication. Jane supported and explained the property selling and buying process in a clear, understandable manner which made the journey calm, smooth and manageable. We really appreciated her efforts keeping us informed and updated throughout.

Jessica Johnston Partner Samson Coward LLP- Writing of Wills

I was looking to get my wills updated and was personally recommended to use Jessica Johnston from Samson Coward LLP. I cannot rate her highly enough. From the very beginning of contacting her she was efficient and clear in her communication, process and costs and was prompt in sorting my will out for me. She was excellent at explaining everything and made me feel very comfortable in my discussions. She made the whole process very easy and I would definitely use her again for any other legal matters.She has been by far the best solicitor I have used and would highly recommend using her.

Legal Advice Prior to Divorce

I contacted Sampson Coward after seeing how well they had advised my partner previously. The way in which I was assisted was fantastic. I was treated courteously and professionally at all times. The consultation with Tina was frank, but extremely detailed and the knowledge she imparted was amazing. Guiding me with specifics towards military pensions which was superb. The help given has allowed me to continue with my new life, financially astute and better prepared than I was before speaking to her.
The firm have been exceptional and I would not hesitate in recommending.
Thank you so much!

First Class Employment Law Advice

When you are facing the trauma and stress of litigation, you want someone with a cool head, an intuition for how things will play out and sound knowledge. David has been round the block a few times and is able to advise the client of all the variables in the cauldron of litigation! He is an employment law specialist - he does nothing else, beware of lawyers who 'dabble'. He keeps in regular contact, advises about fees and truly wants the best for the client. My family has used him on several occasions and I notice that he has many returning clients - that is always a good sign. I have recommended him to many friends and all of them wanted him to take on their matter - not surprising as David is a solicitor that you feel comfortable with from the outset. A five star service and a five star firm.

Caroline Parsons has acted for me since 2002 - she is quick, accurate and always returns calls/emails. I recommend her to everyone who needs a conveyancer as I know she will do a great job for them. Cannot rate Caroline highly enough :)

My partner and I instructed Vicky Langdown of Sampson Coward to act on our purchase. Vicky and her colleagues were incredible throughout the buying process, and offer both professional and sound advice. In Vicky's absence, Sara was equally fantastic at keeping things moving and chasing the vendors solicitors until the moment we exchanged. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Sampson Coward to anyone - an absolutely first class service from start to finish.

As a first time buyer Natalie really helped me along the process keeping me informed. She was good at chasing the chain and kept me updated. We had a target completion date right from the word go and she managed to get things past the line right on track.

The process of buying a home was made all the more cumbersome and stressful by using this company. The information I received regarding the purchase of the property, was only received through the estate agents and the vender’s solicitors. On 3 separate occasions I was told the report had been prepared and sent to me and it hadn’t been. I had to wait an extra 2 weeks solely because they had forgotten to order the funds. The whole process lacked organisation and was haphazard. The receptionist gave me more information and was more approachable than the solicitor representing the purchase with email replies received weeks later. In all sincerity, I am unable to recommend this company
