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
