The service I received from Askews from start to finish was nothing short of total excellence.I was using another law firm in Coventry for many years and due to that firm increasing their fees to an extortionate rate, I decided to look elsewhere, it’s then I found Askews and I’m so glad I did as it quickly became apparent that Askews Legal are the top legal firm in Coventry - their service and fees are unrivalled. If you are looking for a no nonsense legal firm, head straight over to Askews, it’s now my go to firm. 110% recommend.

Having agreed to terminate my employment I was informed I would need a solicitor to advise me on how this would affect my legal rights. I contacted Askews and was and found Harvin Dhillon to be knowledgeable and efficient. He persuaded my employers to adapt some of the conditions they were insisting upon and also to increase their contribution to my legal fees.I have no hesitation in recommending Askews to anybody seeking advice in this area.

Overall my experience of Askews selling my house was very positive and everything went pretty smoothly which was really good for me as I was not in the locality so could not visit the office.

I attempted to buy a house about 2 years ago, and it is only through completing on a house with Askews, that I really see how negligent my previous solicitors were.Maira Farouk and Hugh Thomas were absolutely AMAZING!They were super responsive, and spot on. I felt fully supported and aware of each stage of the process as a FTB.I really couldn't have asked for a better Solicitor to handle my case! Superb!
