I've had the absolute pleasure of having Chris Dewhurst as my solicitor for the purchase of a property. Along with his fantastic colleague Nathan Dady, they have both managed to achieve the impossible by getting me over the finish line for completion in a record breaking 7 weeks. They have gone above and beyond their call of duty. Chris' conveyancing knowledge is phenomenal and the speed and expertise by which they actioned the purchase was mind blowing.
They were always available, always very forthright and honest with any queries and overall such a fantastic team. Chris's assistant Debbie was always on hand as well, with a lightening fast response time and always able to answer any questions that I had. I honestly could not recommend both a solicitor and firm highly enough. Outstanding value for money. I am forever grateful that I came across Girlings Solicitors. Thank you!

I spoke with Chris about advice provided to me by another solicitor. He saved me about 150 quid with his expert opinion. As a lawyer from another jurisdiction, I can tell you it's refreshing to come across folks like this during these times. Thank you. Next time I need a solicitor I'll be calling Girlings.

We were looking for a local solicitors where we could get a Will done for my Mum. When we approached Girlings, we were instantly made to feel welcome. We dealt with Paul Hill who was extremely professional and knowledgable. We would definitely recommend using Girlings for Wills and will definitely consider Girlings for any future solicitor needs.

My life changed dramatically following accident. The Girling's team ensured I felt safe, secure and we'll looked after with my Personal Injury Claim. I was included at every step of the hard journey and I would not have completed it without the support and advice from Girlings. I cannot thank them enough for the positive outcome they made to my life and the financial future of my family.
