Megan, Keely, Lydia and Ammaarah all handled a financial order and deed transfer for me. They all worked very quickly with a very high level of professionalism. Would recommend them highly and would work with them again.

Lydia is an amazing solicitor! She communicated so clearly throughout the whole process and managed things super efficiently. I was always kept posted of what was happening in the chain, and she chased other parties for me frequently. She honestly went above and beyond and I could not recommend her more!

I contacted Sian after seeing her name appear many times when somebody asked for recommendations for a family solicitor. I made an enquiry to see if they would take on my case, I had an instant reply and booked an appointment for a face to face meeting where we discussed everything. Sian explained what the procedure would be and from then on, everything was completed on line. If I needed to speak to Sian or her associates it was never a problem. Everyone we dealt with throughout the case was very professional. I would definitely use them again if I needed to in the future.

I (unfortunately) had the need to use the services of Siân at Francis George. She has been fantastic and so helpful at every step of my process. She has communicated well, costs have been in line with what had been detailed and she has always helped me know what the options are, and what the implications may be of a cause of action. I cannot recommend Siân and her colleagues at Francis George highly enough - thank you.

Put me at ease

Asif put me at ease the first time I saw him. I was very nervous. He was excellent, reassuring and full of great advice and knowledge. I will definitely recommend him to anyone in need and will also go back to Asif again in the future if I ever need to. Thank you
