Report
After a poor experience with an estate agents recommended solicitor, we sought out legal help from Samuel Phillips Law based upon their previous reviews. The process of moving our sale/purchase over to SPL was thankfully very straightforward and we were left in the capable hands of Tom Small.
Tom's attentiveness and professionalism really shone through and really put our minds at ease after what was becoming a bit of a nightmare of a move.
Based on my experience of the company, and my direct dealings with Tom I would recommend anyone who wants a near stress-free house move to enquire with SPL

An excellent law firm. I was in a very difficult and complex financial situation after my divorce. Jenny Goldstein was my lawyer. She is extremely experienced and professional. Jenny was incredibly supportive and took the time to listen to what I truly wanted. I could not have asked for more. Jenny's PA Erin is also a fantastic asset to the team. I can't thank them enough for the difference that they have made to my life. I have also used Samuel Phillips to sell my property and Will services, which were also excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend their services. Thank you!

We are first time buyers and recently bought our new build home, the legal process and paper work looked daunting at the beginning. Lucy Velasco made the whole process seem so easy and kept in regular contact making everything move smoothly. Every question or worry was quickly answered or sorted out. We would not hesitate to recommend Samuel Phillips to first time buyers, Lucy was superb throughout.
