I needed a sworn affidavit urgently as my license depended on it. The solicitor Sandra Kowalska was very prompt in her email replies. I was able to have it done very quickly and effortlessly. If 6 stars existed I would have rated it.

Received a professional service from John Green and his team at the Sheffield office. Covid restrictions meant that I was unable to attend the office in person. This was not detrimental to my case at all as communications were straightforward and concise. I would recommend Taylor and Emmet for clear legal advice and representation.

Taylor and Emmet were very good ultimately and very reasonably priced but I found I had to push them quite a lot , or nothing happened . Also, there were a lot of staff in the team so it seemed I was constantly speaking to a different person and I found there were discrepancies between what one team member and another told me. That said ,Taylor and Emmet are our family solicitors and we have been very satisfied with their service in the past so I would recommend them for any house sale too as there were no major issues .

Having used Taylor and Emmet for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. They were incredibly professional, responsive to emails and kept us updated throughout our property transaction. Sarah, Sophie and Nathan were all brilliant and I would happily use them in the future.

I have never made a claim before but John & Rachel made the process really easy. They are very professional, they take time to explain the process at each stage to help you along the way. I would definitely recommend Taylor & Emmet and I would ask for John Green and Rachel to represent you, these have been fantastic from start to finish, thank you guys
