Worst experience ever! Avoid this firm. Finally after 2 years I get some money back after Legal Ombudsman get involved. I had experienced: delays from 14 up to 28 days to get a response; incorrect advice, superficial and incomplete assistance received, failure to advice on strategy. The way of handling of my matter has left me feeling unsupported and as though my matter is insignificant and can be brushed off and set aside as it is unimportant. Look somewhere else and save your money, time and a considerable level of stress which this firm can cause you.

We genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Marina and the service she & Woodfords have provided throughout the whole process of buying and selling our house. Marinas Proficiency, Professionalism and Personability, enabled us to successfully navigate the potential minefield that is buying and selling property in a post pandemic world. Both buying and selling estate agents were suitably impressed to subsequently want to recommend her for their other clients.

We are finalising a very messy divorce spanning many years. However with the help of, in particular Rajan Berry & his team. We have been able to negotiate our way through some very testing waters & we are nearly there. We still have a few t's to cross & I's to dot, however with Raj's patience & determination, with his team, I am sure we will reach a conclusion very shortly.
