I cannot recommend Andrew Frew at this solicitors high enough. Andrew was incredible throughout the whole conveyancing process. His communication and knowledge is nothing like I have experienced before and it was so comforting knowing that he was on the ball with everything which removed all the stress. I would highly recommend Andrew Frew and the whole team at Pollock Fairbridge Schiavone Solicitors. Thank you again Andrew from my wife and I for all your help and support throughout this big moment in our lives. All our best, Chris and Kelsey.

Chris at PFS Solicitors recently carried out some legal work on my behalf and offered a very professional and efficient service. The service offered was particularly impressive as the work was carried out during particularly challenging times in light of the Government response to the Covid19 pandemic and me undergoing unplanned medical care.
Social-distancing and restrictions on all but essential travel and operational difficulties brought about by Government guidelines were all dealt with in an impressive fashion with any attendance at their offices well catered in respect of social distancing
