Thanks for the brilliant service.

From start to finish Jode was efficient, organised and thoroughly professional. He was courteous and empathetic when dealing with my Will questions and details and time and care was taken throughout. The draft was sent through on time and meeting in person to sign the document was exactly on time and handled with sensitivity and with a very personable nature. I was given precise details of finding the venue and all emails were answered promptly and efficiently. I was very impressed and appreciative of the calm and professional approach from Jode.

Making a Will.

The below review is my experience with Jode Ruggiero, the lawyer acting on my behalf.
You have been very professional from the very beginning and made the whole
process manageable, with clear and organized instructions, streamlined, respectful, approachable, patient and willing to answer any of my questions. I appreciate all of your help with this matter and I am very happy that my Will is now completed and my family will have my Will to go to in the future.
I would highly recommend Jode to help someone else with their Will. Thank you so much Jode.

Excellent Service – Professional, Personable,and Reassuring Throughout

We were introduced to Jode through the Free Wills Network, and from our very first interaction, he was professional yet friendly, instantly putting us at ease. His knowledge and clarity were invaluable — he took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly, raised potential risks we hadn’t considered, and ensured we fully understood each step. Something we had been putting off for far turned out to be a straightforward and stress-free experience. Within just a couple of weeks, the process was complete. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Jode for any future legal matters or to update our wills when needed. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and approachable Lawyer.

Didn't have a great experience with conveyancing (Just buying). Mainly down to poor comms, required constant chasing, by myself, the vendors solicitor and the Estate Agent - which must itself increase the work load for themselves and stress for all parties. I appreciate this is a busy time, but things were stalling for no aparrant reason (I had taken the file on from a previous buyer, on the property which fell through on week of exchange, so everything should have been in place, apart from mortgage draw down, name changes and fraud checks). Its' not like the service was any cheaper than other local firms. Only responded to two emails of multiple that was sent, although it was appreciated they communicated they recieved the deposit. Spelt my name incorrectly on the contract despite me picking this up on the draft. Asked me when I would like to complete, I said Friday (7 days time), was then notified on the following Wednesday there would not be enough time for drawdown - clearly not, but had it been actioned even on the following Monday or Tuesday, mortgage funds would have been available. I have opted for another local firm, to sell a property subsequently, and so far communications have been night and day better. I hope my experience was a one off.

Nothing but amazing service every time. I have recommended to many. Had numerous property transactions completed by the team including Chloe, who has taken on a few of mine and still continues to do so. Her service is always excellent. Tony provided Legal Advice last minute, outside of working hours to ensure a transaction made the deadline. I have also dealt with Karen and Claire in the past who have also carried out property purchases for me. Lauren is always on hand to provide answers to questions and keep us up to date. Highly recommend .
