I instructed James Moore and his team to deal with our conveyancing needs when purchasing a property. I have found him to be very professional and thorough whilst keeping me up to date with progress and also chasing the other parties involved which made the whole process very efficient and stress free. Will use again in the future and have recommended to friends and family who have also been very pleased with the service received.

I have used Gabbitas Robins for many years and am especially happy with the service received from James Moore and his team. They have processed all of my conveyancing, drafted our wills and helped sort out my father's Power of Attorney documents. Fast and efficient service which I would highly recommend. Experts in their field and explain things well and in an easy to understand manor.

Gabitas Robins acted on our behalf during our house purchase. James Moore and his team made what would ordinarily have been a slow and convoluted process very straightforward. They responded quickly to correspondence from the other side, made sure pressure was kept on, kept us looped in at all stages and were easy to deal with. Even though James had other clients to deal with, we always felt like a priority. I have no doubt that our house purchase went through smoothly in no small part because of the service we received from Gabbitas Robins. Thanks to all for the hard work, it was much appreciated
