John Lambe was working on my property litigation case for just over three years. Mr Lambe was absolutely brilliant, he was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. Mr Lambe was always patient and constantly reassuring, during those difficult three years. I would highly recommend Mr Lambe, he is an amazing solicitor.

I found Lucy and John to both be knowledgeable and friendly. They provided clear advice in simple language and guided decisions instead of dictating outcomes. Everyone at the firm has dealt with the case with great sensitivity and I would highly recommend them.
