Testimonials

  • "First and foremost we want to use Solicitors who are technically very good. We also want them to be able to explain complex problems to us clearly and simply and to be polite and friendly, to be pragmatic and practical and to keep us informed. We want them to do all this and to provide value for money. We are very pleased to say that Chris Newton and his team always achieve these objectives, often exceeding our expectations. We are always keen to recommend Chris and his team because we know we can trust them and that they will not let us down."

    Barry Cleaver, Gardiners Chartered Accountants and Insolvency Practitioners, York, North Yorkshire

  • "It was good to meet you yesterday. Great to put a face to the voice I seem to have spent most of my time talking to over the last week. Both Jillian and I would like to thank you for all your help and assistance and honesty in this to get it sorted out. As I said it would be great for you to attend an event to see for yourself what it´s all about. "

    Gordon Sheddon, Knockhill Racing Circuit Limited, Fife

  • "Clear and concise advice. Precisely what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear"

    Tony Armitage of Armitage Jones LLP, Corporate Recovery, North Yorkshire

  • "A very friendly, efficient and reasonably priced service, always prepared to go beyond the call of duty"

    Steve Baird, Insurance Loss Adjuster, Suffolk

  • "An excellent personal and highly professional service - thoroughly recommended "

    Julian Pitts, Begbies Traynor, Business Recovery Specialist, Leeds

  • "I am writing to you to say a belated thank you for the manner and professionalism in which you and your team dealt with my case, I really could not have asked for a better result. As you were aware it was a difficult couple of weeks for me leading up to the hearing but I always felt in ´safe hands´. Please also say a special thank you to Ash - he was brilliant on the day!"

    Client represented in the Magistrates Court

  • "Natalie has provided to me, on a number of occasions, advice on employment law issues in varying circumstances. As well as being clearly knowledgeable in her field, which thus provides us reassurance when dealing with often a difficult and sensitive area of running a business, her advice has proved to be extremely commercial in addition to being legally sound. She also has shown a clear understanding of our business needs and therefore her advice has been invaluable. She has by doing this saved our business money but also helps us plan our HR effectively. Besides being very professional she is also extremely personable and therefore a pleasure to work with."

    R Phillips, FD of Cartridge World

  • "I would like to express how grateful I am for your advice, support and skilful representation throughout our recent dispute. Although it could be said that it was a David vs Goliath scenario I remained confident and reassured throughout the battle - largely because of the skilful way you handled our case. Whilst I hope we do not need your services too much in the future we will always know who to turn to if we do! "

    Dan Davies, IntegraCare Limited.

  • "I would like to take this opportunity to say how very grateful I am for the considerable efficiency and empathy shown by Elizabeth Webb. I felt that I and my family were supported all the way through, and now realise just how important that is in a solicitor."

    C T Guest, Knaresborough

  • "Sarah is both professional and effective at debt chasing. Debtors who had previously remained impervious to letters from us have now paid their debts. If I was in the unfortunate position of some of our debtors, I would be very worried if Sarah Townsend contacted me!"

    Anne Hardaker, Feather Smailes Scales LLP

  • "We were very satisfied with the speed of service from Elizabeth who was ultra-professional and very organised. The turnaround on our Wills was excellent."

    Mr V Hall, Leicester

  • "I cannot thank you all enough for really pulling out all of the stops to get the house purchased for me and for being such lovely people to deal with."

    Alison Thompson, Client of Ben Cauldwell
