I was most impressed with Smith Roddam Solicitors. The communication was first class from the outset. I did not have any previous knowledge or dealings with them prior to engaging them to complete the sale of my property. The process was straightforward and Connor Carey provided a consummately professional service throughout the transaction. Smith Roddams fees were very reasonable and were clearly detailed and achieved.

My recent experience with Smith Roddam was made very positive with the attentions of Libby Pincher - she was consistently quick to respond to phone calls/emails/messages and kept me up to date throughout the process. She was approachable and clear in delivering information and I would be happy to work with her again in the future. Thank you Libby!
