It's business as usual here but our offices are closed to visitors without an appointment and client meetings will be virtual in all other circumstances. Our solicitors and advisors are mostly working from home, accessible as ever by telephone and email to give you the best possible advice and service.
Sometimes you get a level of service and understanding from an advisor who really stands out from the rest. Our people are committed to achieving that benchmark. We also aim to approach even the most challenging legal issue with a no-nonsense, straightforward approach.

These were my vendors solicitors, awful service from them. They were neglectful, poor to respond and did not respond at all for some months to my solicitor. My dream home nearly fell through, as time ticked on, and we were extremely close to my mortgage offer expiring. I was a first time buyer and there was no onward chain so my purchase did not need to take the half a year as it did. I do not recommend these solicitors, and thought it worth leaving a bad and honest review, as some new home owners next to me had these solicitors and had an awful experience with them too. People need to know what

We have just completed our sale and purchase. Zara Davies was our solicitor and we received a first class, excellent, professional service. Zara was very approachable, kind and sympathetic as we are caring for my 96 year terminally ill father so ensuring a smooth transaction was so important and imperative. We would like to send our sincere gratitude and thanks to Zara and Verity for making it happen for us. We shall certainly be recommending her to family and friends. Thank you Zara.

My Case was transferred to the Yeovil office from the Sherborne Office
My file didn't get sent to the Yeovil office for a Month after Sherborne Office had stopped working on it
Took Months longer to complete than it should have
I phoned up multiple times only to be told by Zara there was more important clients to deal with
When I finally went into sign, staff were unprofessional and rude
Almost a year later it's now come to light they were also negligent with their work, which is now costing me thousands in solicitors fees to put right and could have potentially cost me almost 90k and left

Telephone calls are answered promptly, in comparison to others that I contacted with my initial enquiry, and complete attention has been provided by the reception staff.
The service provided by the solicitor that I dealt with was prompt and informative and my matter was resolved satisfactorily in a short space of time. I will certainly recommend and use this firm again in the future.
