We were recommended CWJ (and Ursula specifically) by a friend who worked with them a number of times and I have nothing but praise for them! They were very thorough and patient with us as first time buyers and all queries were returned in a timely manner.
I highly recommend them.

Having read positive reviews I recommended "Clarkson Wright & Jakes" to my friend, a nervous first time buyer in her seventies who was instantly reassured by the friendly, helpful and efficient support of Lesley Robins who explained everything clearly and ensured my friend understood each stage of the conveyancing procedure. Lesley Robins' professional and unhurried consultations put my friend at ease and gave her confidence that her house purchase was in good 'hands'. As often happens, there were '11th hour' delays from others in the chain but Lesley Robins dealt with the challenges and went the

I have found CWJ online, looking for an employment solicitor and I was very satisfied with their services.

Dealing with the sale of a property that had been the family home for more than 50 years, Karthiga Sangaralingam was highly professional, always sensitive to the situation, and managed the process excellently. A gold standard service.

First class professional service.
I recently sold my house and used CWJ Solicitors.
I received excellent service from Ursula Munns who dealt with my Conveyancing. I was kept up to date from beginning to end of my sale and can’t praise her enough.
I am now buying a new build property which entails a lot of hard work on the solicitors side. Ursula is very thorough and offers excellent service.
Thank you.
