What a great team! My family and I will be forever grateful to Emma, after months of stress with another solicitor firm, we were at the end of our tether. After appointing Pickerings, Emma got us the result we needed. She was friendly, professional and explained everything clearly. Communication throughout the company was excellent and Emma was always fast to respond. I have complete trust in Pickerings and are happy to recommend them to family and friends.

Emma was fantastic throughout our dealings with her. Talked us clearly through all the procedures and explained any 'legal speak' that we couldn't understand. Emails and phone calls made or sent were answered quickly. During a difficult and sad time for our family, Emma took a lot of stress and pressure off our shoulders.

Emma has been our solicitor since my father died in 2018 and his solicitor for a number of years before that. I cannot rate Emma's advice and excellent professional support highly enough. Her calm care of the whole family during such an emotional time was incredibly helpful. She also knew my father and could bring his voice into all decisions.
