We have just completed the sale of my Mums flat we used Laker Legal. Although there were several issue's during the sale they handled all aspects of the sale In a truly professional manner. Jessica who was our Licensed Conveyancer who handled the sale was exceptional and kept us informed every step of the way. I have no reservations in recommending Laker Legal

Interestingly I found Laker legal Solicitors initially by looking through google reviews in an effort to find a recommended practice from its previous customer base. This practice had excellent reviews and results, so I looked no further. I'm really pleased to report that they were excellent, my solicitor ( Richard) was with me every step of the journey.
He didn't leave a stone unturned and knew his way around the legal system perfectly, no wrong turns or u turns throughout. My case is now resolved thanks to this practice and from my perspective this practice comes highly recommended

We would like to say a huge thank you to yourself, and your team, for all the help and support you gave us throughout our neighbour dispute. It helped immensely that your firm is there for its clients 24/7. We know it was of immense help and reassurance to us! We also know that you went "that extra mile" by being in contact while on holiday. Without this support we would have found it difficult at times, both to continue with the claim, and to deal with the stress. So, again, many thanks and we cannot recommend you more.

I must admit I was a bit sceptical at first choosing an 'online' solicitor, but I couldn't have made a better choice; the professionalism and the speed at which my particular solicitor, Fiona Roche, dealt with my case and any other matters that arose, really set my mind at ease. She was extremely helpful and supportive and nothing was too much trouble; just a phone call or email away. I would not hesitate in recommending you or using your firm again should I need any legal assistance.

I would highly recommend Laker Legal Solicitors for their quick and efficient professional services when acting on my behalf in the Transferring of Property deeds and the writing of my new will recently. Stephen Ogden made the process surprisingly simple and easily understood, carrying out my instructions at a very stressful time with the minimum of fuss and at a very reasonable cost. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future. Mrs L Chadwick

My husband and I found ourselves in a huge legal battle over the sale of our property late last year with the opposition being family members, Social Services and the Court of Protection. After previously seeking advice from two other solicitors and having no forward movement or phone call for the best part of a fortnight we nearly gave up hope, until a recommendation from a friend brought us to Richard Hirst. The end result for my husband and I was brilliant and the result we wanted. We are now a very happy family in our new home.thanks to Laker Legal.
