Stephen Tallentire and Jane Ball were both incredibly helpful throughout our house purchase. Stephen was attentive, professional, and always quick to respond to any questions, no matter how big or small. As first-time buyers, his support made a real difference. Jane also did a great job preparing our report and clearly explaining everything we needed to know. The whole team made the process smooth and much less stressful. Highly recommended!

I recently used Askews for a negligence case involving a previous conveyancer, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Neenu handled my case and was exceptionally professional, responsive, and supportive throughout what was a challenging and often frustrating situation.Neenu's clear communication, patience, and practical advice helped navigate a complicated legal process with confidence. I felt reassured at every step, knowing my case was in capable hands. Thank you again to Neenu and the team at Askews for their dedication and expertise.

Askews legal team helped me with my defamation case, they were brilliant at their service and I am so happy that I chose Askews. My lawyer, Candice was not only very professional she was also very empathetical towards my situation which I needed the most during my difficult time.
