Martin and his team supported us through the sale of our soft play business in Northamptonshire recently. Their advice & guidance through the whole process was thorough and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services or using them again in the future. A "True" pleasure to deal with.

To Avoid. - Mr Truman represnted a buyer who is according to evidene on line is Bankrupt.... i entered into enormous losses...To date he has refused to provide evidence of available funds of 3M£ of a bankrupt client. He has ignored several of my emails. Enough informations are being gathered, and if he refuses to provide such evidence, as a lawyer he should know that this will fall under FRAUD, as i was mislead, therefore entered into costs and charges that understandably didn t need. Such unprofessional behaviour is unacceptable. He might think that this matter will subside with time, then again

I cannot express enough how pleased we were with the service provided by True Legal. Extremely thorough, comprehensive and professional in all the work they conducted for us. Worked as quickly as possible and were very patient when there were severe delays on the other end. True Legal charge a fixed cost and it is every bit worth the money.

Dear `Mr Truman, /Peter Jackson (you are nowhere to be seen on Truelegal website. We also think it would be Truthfull to update your website, with photographs of individuals MANY of them in fact, that are not working for the company any more) I am responding to the response of my fully truthful comment. Isn't it sad, that one has to come to such a public arena to get a reponse? I legitimately sent you several emails, and you opted for "Silent Treatment"
Mr Truman, there is a clear indication to us all that your client didn't have funds for 3.1M£ to purchase 3 properties.

This company has amazing customer care standards. I was having difficulty with a business lease and found truelegal after a general internet search. They replied to my general enquiry within a few out of business hours, asked to see the contract and again within a few hours of business hours they had reviewed it and called me to provide the advice free of charge. I will definitely use this company in the future for any legal assistance and without doubt would recommend them. Brilliantly efficient.

Truelegal was recommended to us by a broker after our solicitor left us in the lurch mid way through a deal. Martin stepped in, picked up the reigns and eventually completed the sale of our London based business. He was a pleasure to deal with, kept us informed of how things were progressing and was decent enough to keep to the fee we agreed at the outset - even though there was a lot more work involved than originally expected and we are very grateful for that.
We would highly recommend Truelegal because they are knowledgeable in their field and it was easy to meet with Martin because although
