Great experience using Askews for conveyancing our new house. Parvinder aided by Simran have handled our case very well, responding quite promptly, pushing the sale forward for us. Would definitely recommend them.

I had an excellent experience working with Sumera at Askews Legal. From the very beginning, she was professional, approachable, and clear in explaining every step of the process. She handled my matter with care and efficiency, always keeping me updated and ensuring I understood the options available. Her support made a potentially stressful situation much easier to manage, and I am very grateful for her guidance. I would highly recommend Sumera and Askews Legal to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate legal assistance.
