What people say about us….

I have been a client with Kirbys for many years and have always found them to be excellent. Amanda Lee has dealt with all my legal requirements and she has always been reliable and understanding. I would therefore take her advice without question – so much so I now also consider her a trustworthy and valued friend, She’s on my Christmas card list!

Whether it’s buying a house, sorting out family affairs, resolving a supplier dispute or an employment problem, Kirbys have the people to deal with it confidently and competently… I know, I’ve used them all.

I approached Charlotte in the summer of 2019 for legal advice on the writing my Will and Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Finance. This followed a recommendation from a friend who had benefitted from her professional expertise and advice. Charlotte’s approach was professional, sensitive, understanding and kind. I particularly liked that she took time to explain the legal details of all the documents and implications for me and my family in a way I could understand. No questions I asked were left unanswered. The results of our meetings, communications and the final documents were all appropriate and timely. I would recommend Charlotte to other potential clients who require professional advice and a sensitive approach to completing important legal documents.

Tom Craven has been my ‘go to’ adviser for all property related matters for many years. He consistently provides clear concise advice and is both pragmatic and commercial in his approach .I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I have known and worked with both Kirbys and, more importantly, Roger Dooley for more than 20 years now and could not recommend them highly enough! Dealing with Roger is comparable to having an “In-house Solicitor” as I feel I can discuss all aspects of our business from properties to personalities. Moreover, I feel Roger brings a high degree of commerciality that I don’t find common in all legal advice. He is more than our business’s solicitor, he is part of Our Team! Additionally, Roger is exactly what you want in a solicitor, methodical and extremely detailed, whilst his commerciality and his aforementioned integration with our organisation has resulted in us trusting Roger to make unilateral decisions on our behalf! I also find Roger is acceptable to new ideas and has a hunger to understand more than the top level of instruction. All round, Roger is a great commercial legal asset to any business!

I’ve worked with every department at Kirbys and the experience has been flawless; they’re extremely competent but straightforward, very communicative… and friendly. Just the kind of people you want handling your legal affairs.

Kirbys have been handling all my legal affairs for the last 40 years. I don’t need to go anywhere else… and I don’t want to. They make me feel like they’re my team.

Our family has been very grateful for all your friendly and practical advice throughout the process of settling our Aunt’s affairs. You have made the whole process simple and straightforward

Kirby’s have been a great partner of ours and been involved in many transactions. Tom Craven our solicitor is always willing to help. Communication, speed and problem solving!

I cannot recommend Alison at Kirbys more highly. Three things stood out for me; her intellect and negotiation skills, her rigorous management of a complex process, and her outstanding care for her client. Through a stressful and emotionally charged process Alison was the voice of calm pragmatism. Her wise counsel, listening skills and kindness set her apart and she walked alongside me, a sure and thoughtful presence, through a most difficult time. I’m fortunate enough to work with outstanding professional advisers in my day job. Alison has all the qualities of the very best, combined with a humility and kindness that may not always be fashionable, but is always appreciated. Through our work together I came to regard Alison as a wise friend; perhaps the highest compliment one can offer to an outstanding adviser.
