A great balance of professionalism with a friendly and timely manner.

I would always highly recommend your firm to family and friends. Your services from start to finish are always excellent and my dealings with Laura have been exceptional on every occasion I have instructed her. Many thanks for excellent services over many years.

Your service is perfect.

Laura Kurowski was very good and we will consult her again if any problems arise.

We were very fortunate having Laura do the conveyancing as the mortgage lender and their solicitor were dreadful. Without her I don't think I would have been able to move for another month at least. Thank goodness I had someone so efficient.

Excellent service, very prompt, very fast in handling the service.

Excellent service - Laura Kurowski is a good solicitor.

Laura is the best solicitor I’ve dealt with and Linda Heaton is also good. These two ladies are a credit to Wilkinson Woodward.

The service and attention to detail Laura provided was exceptional. Thank you.

Laura has been a pleasure to deal with.

Buying a house is a very stressful experience. Laura Kurowski was amazing! Professional, extremely knowledgable and clearly goes over and above to meet the needs of her clients.
