Report
Excellent, precise and honest service. We were quoted £700 for a little job you charged £60 for. Prior to this I had solicitors not return calls and even tell me off for going to an online solicitor that takes work away from “jobbing solicitors “ would you believe. But none of that with Earle and Crocker . We had honesty and reliability and were treated with utmost courtesy so Earle snd Crocker will be our go to firm. Thank you very much.

Louise at Earl & Crocker Looe has done a fantastic job of supporting me through what turned out to be a far more challenging sale & purchase process than it needed to be. Her professionalism and, in particular, her outstanding communication skills made it a pleasure to work with her. Highly recommended. Many thanks!
