Very helpful Receptionist, very nice helpful solicitors, nice clean fresh waiting area and good service and also the speed of service is excellent. I would definitely recommend Eaton Smith having used your firm for many years and always received a good service.
Having received advice from 2 previous solicitors without satisfactory outcomes, I was recommended to talk to Eaton Smith. From the outset my Solicitor was very thoughtful and helpful. He managed to make a complicated legal challenge / situation comprehensible. Although a stressful and emotional case at times, I was consistently provided with reassurances as the team responded to the many twists and turns of the case as they emerged.
