After a poor experience with an estate agents recommended solicitor, we sought out legal help from Samuel Phillips Law based upon their previous reviews.
The process of moving our sale/purchase over to SPL was thankfully very straightforward and we were left in the capable hands of Tom Small.
Tom's attentiveness and professionalism really shone through and really put our minds at ease after what was becoming a bit of a nightmare of a move.
Based on my experience of the company, and my direct dealings with Tom I would recommend anyone who wants a near stress-free house move to enquire with SPL

An excellent law firm. I was in a very difficult and complex financial situation after my divorce. Jenny Goldstein was my lawyer. She is extremely experienced and professional. Jenny was incredibly supportive and took the time to listen to what I truly wanted. I could not have asked for more. Jenny's PA Erin is also a fantastic asset to the team. I can't thank them enough for the difference that they have made to my life.
I have also used Samuel Phillips to sell my property and Will services, which were also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you!

We are first time buyers and recently bought our new build home, the legal process and paper work looked daunting at the beginning. Lucy Velasco made the whole process seem so easy and kept in regular contact making everything move smoothly. Every question or worry was quickly answered or sorted out.
We would not hesitate to recommend Samuel Phillips to first time buyers, Lucy was superb throughout.

Sarah Ward has gone above to support me and my family, over the past year, with financial and family matters.
She is extremely professional and I felt extremely confident to have her by my side in court.
I knew I could discuss anything with Sarah and I wouldn't be judged, she was understanding and empathetic.
I couldn't recommend her highly enough
I hope I don't need a solicitor again, but if i did I would have no doubt in contacting Sarah and having her on my side once again.
Thank you for all you help 5 starts stars enough x

Samuel Phillips helped me over the last 2 years. I do not have one negative thing to say about the way they work and handle situations they are very professional in the way that they work. Not only did they help me with my case they also took the time to help me emotionally and mentally which Really helped me. I had one solicitor who left half way during my case and the transition to a new solicitor was smooth. Anytime I sent a email or called with questions or updates the response time was always fast or if they had to follow anything up it was always fast. I would recommend Samuel Phillips for

First time buyer. Had an issue with part of the property not being owned by the seller. Jane Fiddes was my main point of contact and she was incredibly knowledgable throughout the whole process. Everyone I dealt with really put my mind at ease the whole time. Would recommend and use again.

We have worked with a few solicitors over the years trying to resolve family issues concerning child arrangements, but none quite like Sarah Ward. Sarah is a fantastic no-nonsense solicitor who is professional, courteous, and friendly. The service she has provided has been exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone, especially those, such as us, who have struggled with proceedings for years without resolution. Her guidance and advice have been immeasurable.

An Outstanding Service
I recently contacted Samuel Phillips Law with regard to my will. I am extremely pleased I did so. The service I received from the onset has been so professional. The receptionists were friendly, helpful and welcoming, and this put me at ease immediately.
Mr. Robinson, Stephen, dealt with the matter for me. He has a very pleasant, friendly, understanding and patient way about him. He answered all my queries/concerns in an easily understandable way. He dealt with my will with expertise, in a very timely, efficient, knowledgeable and professional manner.
I cannot thank Stephen
