Getting divorced is highly emotional and Zanariah at Parfitt Cresswell made me feel very comforted during an extremely challenging time. She explained everything to me in layman's terms and always carefully went through all my options, with always offering me the right advice. The offices have a family feel to them and I would highly recommend them to anyone going through something similar.

I am writing this to share my experiences of working with Parfitt Cresswell as a firm and in particular my solicitor, Sharon Micuta. My divorce is finally coming to a close now but it has taken well over a year to get this far. I can honestly say without Sharons expertise and Going the extra mile attitude to assisting me, I would have been totally lost in this stressful process long ago.
Sharon has always been on hand to guide me through the labyrinth that is family law. My priority has always been making sure my dependants are looked after appropriately during and after the divorce

I have had first class service from Parfit Cresswell. Sarah Reynolds and Alison Courtney supported myself and my family during my father's probate. Alison then did an excellent job sorting out the trust for my family. I felt things were very well explained and dealt with in a professional manner. Jade Saward has been involved with the selling of two properties and the buying of one. Again I received wonderful service. I would thoroughly recommend Parfitt Cresswell.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Jade at Parfitt Cresswell in Windsor. At the beginning of the year, I was tasked with sorting out the sale of my Dads apartment. We instructed Parfitt Cresswell to deal with it for us. Jade was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and kept us informed every step of the way. She dealt with the fact that we had 4 attorneys spread geographically apart and avoided us having to have multiple signatories. She also dealt with extremely tricky purchasers and a not terribly efficient solicitor on the other side. We are extremely grateful to Jade for making
