From start to finish Joanna and all of the team at Steele Raymond were an absolute pleasure to deal with and made what can be, the purchase of a new house, a very smooth and highly professional and stress free process. The team all seem genuinely very nice people who really care - my wife and I couldn't recommend Joanna and Steele Raymond highly enough and won't hesitate to use them again in the future.

I was recommended to speak to Alexandra by another Solicitor, when I wanted some experienced advice on a Business transaction I was undertaking. Right from the off, I found Alex, really easy to deal with and she made light work of the complex instruction I had presented to her. Within days I had a full review of the situation and a clear plan of how to proceed.
We were also working alongside three other business professionals and Alex seamlessly kept everybody in the email loop and managed the whole process with complete ease. I will have no hesitation of working with Alex again and Steele Raymond are very lucky to have her on board!

I cannot recommend Lindsay Halliwell enough. Lindsay was my Solicitor during a messy and upsetting divorce. She kept me informed at all times and was empathetic and supportive during a difficult time in my life. She happily explained some more complex parts of it to me. I appreciate all the hard work, time and effort Lindsay and a lot of her colleagues dedicated to help me. They worked extremely hard and were very thorough. I won't hesitate to use her should I get married/divorced again! Although currently not keen to do that anytime soon!;

Lindsay Halliwell acted for me in relation to my divorce. Her client care and professionalism were outstanding. She made me feel at ease straight away and talked me through each step so I understood the process of what was a very stressful time in my life. Lindsay was in touch on a regular basis, keeping me updated at every critical point. If she wasn't available to speak to, I knew one of her team would be on hand to help. Her advice was clear, concise and not only that, realistic, which to me was invaluable. Thank you Lindsay and your team for your excellent service.

I was looking for a Notary Public and went online and found Alice Toop at Steele Raymond. I can't express enough my gratitude to Alice for her very professional and AMAZING service! My dealings were all rather last minute, and this wasn't even an issue for Alice who sorted out all my documents from overseas, and notarised them for me in the short time frame in which I needed them. Alice took away all my concerns and left me feeling very assured. A massive thank you! I highly recommend Alice for the wonderful professional service, second to none!

I have worked with Steele Raymond Solicitors over the past couple of years across multiple departments Commercial property with Rosanna Parker, Employment with Deborah West, and Corporate with Alexandra Clapp, Jessica Wade and Paula Eckton. All interactions with the company have been focussed, insightful, and solution orientated in order to drive my business forward. Highly recommended

I am writing a review of Steele Raymond because of Alice Toop who is a notary there. I had to prepare some documents for a foreign work visa which required legal notarisation. I was of course quite anxious about the potential fees as legal work doesn't come cheap. Fortunately Alice was very helpful and explained everything to me and made sure I only paid the necessary fees and not a penny more.

Myself and partner would like to express our thanks to Deborah Fenton for her outstanding service. We were first time buyers during the pandemic, with a tricky purchase and near the end of stamp duty. Deborah went above and beyond our expectations, always kept us informed and returned every call/email within a reasonable time frame. We never had to chase or question her actions. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone and would certainly use Deborah in the future, she made the process so much less stressful for us and we cannot thank her enough.

We would highly recommend Deborah from Steele Raymond. She was highly attentive and on the ball. She kept us well updated and pushed everything along quickly and professionally. We were under a tight deadline and she did everything she could to help us meet that deadline. After a terrible previous experience with other solicitors we were so pleased with how easy she made the process for us with so much communication and clear instructions of what we needed to do. We will most definitely be using Deborah again in the future.

I have worked alongside Paula Eckton and the team at Steele Raymond now for a number of years, for both the commercial and M&A needs of my clients. Paula is always high on my list for introductions - she assesses situations quickly, is highly responsive, has great interpersonal skills and excellent attention to detail. In particular clients like that Paula is able to discuss complicated situations without the need for legal references and jargon. It is always reassuring to know that my clients are in safe hands with Paula and the team.

Michelle Bettell did a lot of family work for myself. Her amazing approach to our extremely difficult situation and her professionalism gave me the drive to go out and start a law degree myself via open university whilst doing an apprenticeship with a small law firm local to my area. She was also extremely supportive during the entire process and is someone who you can vent to during your difficulties.
She makes time for her clients and goes that extra mile. I would recommend Michelle to anyone. She is an inspiration and what I strive to be once I complete my degree. I wish you all the best Michelle and thank you for everything you did for our family.

Victoria Jarmolkiewicz was our solicitor for our house move. As first time buyers, we didn't know a lot about the house buying process so Victoria was really our saviour! She explained everything so clearly and made the whole process completely stress free and easy. I've heard some nightmare stories from friends about their solicitors, how they have to chase them consistently and hear nothing back from them.
We didn't have that experience at all with Victoria. We didn't need to chase her once, she was completely on top of everything and the best part was I really felt like she was completely on our side throughout the house buying process. Even the estate agent we were buying through commented on how fab she was. I would 100% recommend her and Steele Raymond to anyone!

Joanna and the property legal team were amazing for our re-mortage and purchase transactions. We managed to exchange contracts within 4 weeks of making our purchase offer. Joanna and the team were very responsive and professional and we will be using Steele Raymond again in the future and recommending them to everyone we know. Well done Steele Raymond and a big thank you to Joanna for all her diligence and professionalism. Kind regards, Chris Gormley
