Update: I have just used Askews again, I would still recommend. I worked with Jane Ball again, and found them to provide a professional and efficient service. When things needed doing, Jane was always there to see out the tasks, working towards completion. I had used Askews about ten years ago for the sale and purchase of properties. They were so efficient, I went back to them for the sale of my mums house. I first of all worked with Carly and Nisheet, both very responsive to queries. I then worked with Jane and Stephen, towards completion of the sale. They were again efficient and got things done when they needed to be. I am keen to stay on top of things myself and they did not disappoint. As I was more than happy with the service, I used Jane and Stephen for the purchase of my house later in the year.

I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough. She was absolutely amazing throughout my family law matter. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive during what was a very stressful time. Ruth took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and always made me feel confident that my case was in safe hands. Her dedication, compassion, and attention to detail were outstanding. If you are looking for a family solicitor who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help, Ruth is the person to choose. Thank you, Ruth, for all your hard work and support.
