This law firm have provided an amazing service on behalf of my family over many years and have really gone above and beyond. I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them, and in particular Kevin Osborne and his team.
Excellent service and results. Very professional.
I had a good experience as a first home buyer with Solicitor Edward Bostock. He was an excellent, sincere, trustful and a knowledgeable lawyer. I would 100% recommend Bramwell Bate lawyers.
Lack communication skills. Rude. Talk over you . Dont want to listen to much about what you have to say . No empathy for what your dealing with . Are happy to not respond to emails. Obnoxious.
Very professional
