What our clients say about us

Chloe at BWS Law was extremely informative & knowledgeable in all aspects of divorce & financial separation. She responded quickly to questions & her help/advice was invaluable.
Fantastic service, very reliable. Reanne and Nahida were amazing, very helpful. They are a real asset to the company. Definitely I will use this company in the future. Thank you for your support 😊
Great service from Peter & Michelle at BWS who we've used for the best part of a decade now. We wouldn't go anywhere else, and always are surprised by the effort and speed of response put in by the team. Thank you
Outstanding service, as always, from our solicitor Andrew Prusinski and his team. They always go the extra mile with attention to detail and a caring attitude, which is invaluable. We cannot speak highly enough of them.
I have used BWS Law (previously Bird, Wilford & Sale) for the last 35 years, for all manner of legal issues, and have found their partners and assistants to be unfailingly professional, prompt, courteous and scrupulous. Their charges are also fair by the standards of the profession. Given my experiences dealing with other law firms' slipshod practices, I do not hesitate to recommend BWS Law unreservedly.
I found obtaining legal advice from Nicola Stevenson very easy and felt she was knowledgeable and professional. Thank you
Definitely use again very helpful.
Thank you Nicole
BWS have just completed the transfer of a commercial property for us. It has been refreshing dealing with them, through what can be a tedious process. Progress has been good and they have kept in touch with us well throughout the whole process.
My sister & I recently used BW&S for the sale of our late mum's property. The transaction took less than 11 weeks to reach legal completion. The communication was excellent and after having worked in Estate Agency for almost 30 years I speak from experience when dealing with house transactions.
Thank you Erica & Nahida for your hard work and support!
We have used Clare for the sale of four houses, if selling a house is supposed to be traumatic then Clare took all of the pressure off. She kept us very well informed at every stage and worked tirelessly on our behalf.
I would recommend Clare most highly, she is a credit to BWS.
