Report
We recently used the services of Mohammad at Farnworth rose solicitors and found them to be most helpful, prompt and reasonably priced. We had good advice and ultimately we were able to avoid court but collect the whole of the debt and costs. I would recommend them to others without hesitation.

Report
I instructed Farnworth Rose Solicitors to manage the execution of a Share Sale. The matter was handled by Mohammed Hanif who acted with extreme care and concern and quickly identified areas that required legal attention. He was able to then put solutions in place that meant my rights were protected. I was amazed at his depth of understanding of the law and real day business. I cannot stress the detail to which Mr Hanif works to as well as his excellent communication abilities which meant I remained up to date by the minute as matters progressed.
