We used Mathew Simkin for the purchase and sale of our properties. He was very professional throughout and prompt when responding to emails. Despite never meeting in person due to regulations Mathew was personable and friendly. We would definitely recommend Mathew and will use him again in the future if we need a solicitor.

Jennifer helped me massively with an incredibly challenging property purchase that was incredibly poorly managed by the sellers solicitors. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went through and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. Id highly recommend her services

Buying a new home can be stressful, exhausting and head scratching but with Jennifer and Mathew on hand its was quite the contrary . The whole process from start to finish was done with complete professionalism, very diligent with the level of communication second to none . Jennifer was very honest throughout and made the whole process go as smooth as could be. Not once did we have to chase Jennifer she was always happy to answer any query or help resolve any line of enquiry diligently. In the end our lender let us down , but by recommending us to Jennifer and her team that became there best

Jennifer has been efficient with her communication and help, her knowledge and response as a conveyancing solicitor has been excellent. She has responded to enquires in short time period, and ensured the transaction went smoothly. I will definitely be using the service again, and would recommend WHN solicitors.

I have had Alison Nolan as my solicitor for my divorce and would recommend anyone to happily use her as she is a very professional and same time deals with your case very genuinely and understands the situation without any bias . I am going through another problem and currently having Alison to deal with my case as that is the confidence I have in her work !!!

Michael was a pleasure to deal with, very thorough and helpful with the unfamiliar points of my case.
Considering these testing times and the extraordinary ways companies are operating because of the pandemic , calls, emails and general communication between WHN/Michael and myself was handled in a professional manner.
