We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout this ordeal. It is no exaggeration to say that without your care and efficiency we would have been really struggling.

Sofia who was again amazingly helpful and was very reassuring and totally understood and very sympathetic with us. She kept us updated all the way throughout and any questions I had even though I made many contacts via phone and emails she was always very prompt getting back to me. I would highly recommend Reeds Solicitors they are also lot cheaper than others and more so they care for their Customers. I felt for Reeds it’s not all about making money it’s also about, professionalism, customer service and caring for people. Whole team are so friendly and approachable. They all work as a team.
