Peter Tracy at Cocks Lloyd Solicitors provided very clear, and professional guidance on the matter of which we discussed. He was extremely good at translating very wordy and quite complex text, making it clear and understandable. This was very reassuring, particularly under the circumstances of our meeting. I would definitely recommend and use Cocks Lloyd Solicitors in the future if needed.

I would like to say a big thank you to Mat Jones and his team. Having dealt with Cocks Lloyd,many times over a number of years,particularly Mat Jones,I have recently instructed him to act on my behalf,regarding probate and settlement of,the estate of my late mother. As usual with Mat and his team,the understanding and professionalism was outstanding,thus alleviating all the pressure on myself,from, having to deal with all the relevant bodies associated with this process.

I have used Julie, Sarah and the conveyancing team at Cocks Lloyd, twice in the last three years. They have been very professional both times and in the recent case involving a jointly owned property they reacted quickly to facilitate exchange of contracts and completion in one afternoon. To be recommended.

Peter Tracy was great throughout the whole process. He was always quick to respond, easy to talk to, and genuinely open and approachable, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. His knowledge and experience were clear, and he explained the legal side of things in a straightforward, practical way that gave me real confidence in his advice.

I just used Cocks Lloyd for both the sale and purchase of houses, its was a lengthy and stressful process, however through out our the solicitors were excellent in keeping us well informed as to what was/was not happening,. Sarah was all ways available on the phone whenever we had a query and was brilliant throughout the exchange of contacts and complication. I would have no hesitation in recommending, Julie and the team.

Dealing with Cocks Lloyd concerning my late Fathers will was trouble free and helpful. The solicitor, Mr. M. Jones, looking after me at our first meeting put me at ease and explained what he was going to do. He answered any questions or concerns I had promptly and in a way I could understand. If I need a solicitor for any reason I will be contacting them again.
