A 5-Star Rated Service For Banking and Asset Finance

I had a financial query and potentially needed some advice and guidance from a legal perspective. I messaged my query through the website and straight away Jeremy contacted me with immediate clear advice based on my initial query and also advised on potential next steps which was extremely helpful. Over the course of the next month Jeremy kept in touch with me on email and advised me further and in the end (today) it transpires that I don't need any further support due to documentation received and there is no charge for the email advice Jeremy provided me with and he had made it clear at the start what the process would be if I needed more in depth advice. In a world where people charge for everything Jeremy was like a breath of fresh air and because of that I am writing this review and I will recommend Setfords to all my friends and family and anyone reading this review! Outstanding advice and service and like a different world from most companies out there - in a very, very positive way!! Thanks again Jeremy and Setfords!

All I can say is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G service. I am a business owner and I know what working hard and caring for a customer is like. The Setfords Solicitors were incredible.I'd like to especially thank Alphfeus Moore - he has been super professional, diligent, always thinking out of the box and finding solutions to make the deal through, while keeping up a smile while working on a tight deadline.I have worked with many people, but not many like Alfie - he is a true gem. Alfie, if you ever get tired of being a lawyer you'll always have a job with me in any of my businesses. You have worked very hard, diligently and never complained. You are an absolute trooper, and I cannot thank you enough.From now on, it is only Setfords Solicitors for me, and I will highly encourage and recommend your services to anybody that requires any legal assistance.Once again, thanks for helping me along the way and making things happen, smoothly, efficiently and with a smile!
