Based on my personal experience with Askews Legal LLP an certainly tell that the quality of the work they provide is solid. They assisted us in a lengthy case regarding the purchase of a property, which certainly can be a stressful experience especially for a first time buyer. They showed professionalism and the only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is that I wished a better communication between firm and clients.They got the job done. Thank you

I've used askews twice now, first for a sale of a commercial property and lately for my residential home. Both times a very good service and competitive fees. I will use them in future for all my legal requirements.

My experience with Askews has been absolutely amazing thanks to Sumera. Sumera recently helped me with my employment settlement agreement. I was unsure of the process however Sumera kept me well informed and up to date throughout the whole process. She made going through this process a breeze. Would highly recommend Askews! Thank you once again.
