We used Goodlaw, Hove recently for the sale of our house. Could not be more happy with everything. Would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them. Everything went so smoothly, keeping us constantly updated. Very good value too. Thank you George and Suzy!! What a great friendly team.

I have found Malvina to be an absolute life saver! Her professionalism, compassion and support have helped me and my family get through some complex matrimonial issues. I trusted her entirely, despite what I was facing, and her knowledge and advice was spot on every time! I cannot recommend her warmly enough and I am forever grateful. Fantastic experience.

I could not rate GoodLaw Solicitors more highly. Malvina particularly, is extremely knowledgeable, succinct, provides clarity when needed and is thoroughly versed in her specialism. She works hard to achieve your goals making sensible and informative suggestions throughout the course of action. It was a pleasure to work with you - thank you for your help which I could not have done without.

We used goodlaw for our conveyancing.
Gareth Collins has been amazing throughout the whole process and could not have been more helpful.
Gareth and his team have been extremely responsive, answering all our questions quickly and answered my many, many calls without making me feel like I was pestering them (even though I likely was - sorry!!!).
Gareth knew our situation and that we were on a tight deadline to compelte before the stamp duty relief deadline. He ensured he did everything possible to make this happen and Im so pleased that his hard work has paid off and we have exchanged today

While assisting a family member through a difficult separation, i'd reached out to a number of local solicitors for some initial advice on what the next steps to divorce would be. Malvina at GoodLaw was by far the most knowledgeable, accommodating and empathetic of the many Divorce Lawyers I'd arranged initial discussions with across London and Sussex. At a stressful time (not to mention the middle of a pandemic/ lockdown), Malvina was always upbeat and positive towards negotiations and steered us through the sometimes complex legalities with ease, in a clear, professional manner. Always on hand
