Representation from Serhan

Serhan was incredibly professional and diligent throughout a year long legal dispute.

Regardless of the fact both himself and Elizabeth Barlow managed to win the dispute and get our desired outcome, it would have been a pleasure to deal with them no matter the result as they articulated their work at every move and provided grate guidance.

Would thoroughly recommend!

Nothing was too much trouble and he was with me every step of the way. He was honest, approachable, friendly and patient. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to assist me to achieve the result i was after. Thank you so so much!

Excellent - friendly, approachable, knowledgeable.

Serhan has been an accessible, friendly, and knowledge contact for all of my personal legal needs - from Will writing and family matters to more complex civil cases. I have found Serhan to communicate clearly and succinctly, explaining concepts in ways I can understand in order to make the most informed choices. I would entirely recommend Serhan to anybody who feels they need legal support and guidance.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bramsdon & Childs Solicitors Southsea, and I must say, that their service exceeded my expectations. From the moment I contacted them to the completion, every aspect of their operation was top-notch.

Miss Vicki and miss Chloe they are truly dedicated to providing exceptional service. They was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure my contract was handled with care and delivered on time. Their attention to detail and commitment made our process of buying a house a lot easier.

Thank you for your business!

WOW! This firm are definitely in a different league to the rest!
After our first experience with a different firm for our previous house purchase we were extremely hesitant when choosing who to use for our house purchase this time…..but WOW! The service the whole firm deliver is phenomenal but special thanks to Hannah Rafferty-Rowe, Teresa, Heidi and Carrie!
Nothing is too much trouble for them and the communication from everyone was OUTSTANDING! They gave us updates even if there wasn’t really any new information but during a stressful process just knowing they have chased up on searches or checked in with buyers solicitors gives you such peace of mind and as soon as they did have an update we were informed immediately.
A stand out to these guys as well when we did call up, no matter who answered the phone, they all know what is going on so you don’t have to explain everything which makes a huge difference when you’re making calls to everyone to check in/ give updates.
We started the process just before the stamp duty increase and despite the pressure they would’ve had from all their clients, their service was faultless throughout. I will be recommending Bramsdon and Childs to anyone looking for a solicitor as these guys have been brilliant!
10/10 and THANK YOU!
