I used Claire Hastie to complete my house sale. She was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for more. Super responsive and supportive, managing the sales process well despite the set backs and challenges created by the buyer. Thank you Claire!
We are situated in France, and It was a very good experience working with a foreign law cabinet. It was quite a challenge to work by distance and getting to understand each other. We also gained experience understanding and apprehending some legal details from a foreign country and how they are being delt with in for example. All and all the team was very performant, reliable, professional and had and intelligent approach to our problematic. We encountered some difficulties during the negotiations and the team always new when to take over or to confort us in some critical key situations witch in the and over balanced in our favor. Its was very rewarding too conclude on this positive note and win the case ! Bravo !
I recently instructed Alexander Morgan in the Private Client team regarding a Will and I was really happy with the service he provided, to the point, fast turn around and extremely thorough in all areas. The fee was also very competitive, I highly recommend.
I used BDB Pitmans for a recent property purchase. Initially, they were quick to respond to my emails, but once the transaction was underway, they were very slow. Sometimes it would be over two weeks with no contact from them, so I would call/email for an update, and then have to wait another 3 or 4 working days for a response. In addition to this, my purchase was dealt with by at least three different solicitors, who required all the original documentation to be separately sent over. Finally, and the main reason for the two stars, was the lack of professionalism. I was continually asked for the same information more than once. I felt like I was constantly having to be proactive in asking them for updates on my purchase, and even suggesting that they start the next steps in the process. When all was said and done, it took a lot longer to complete this purchase than it should have done, and I believe that this was due to BDB Pitmans poor workmanship. The two stars are for the fact that I was actually able to complete on the purchase, and there was one solicitor who I dealt with towards the end of the transaction who was both helpful and informative.
I have always received excellent advice and service from Pitmans and have been using them for 9 years plus, so much so I have taken them with me when I've moved roles. They are commercial, they understand the business so can tailor advice and they can cut through complex issues very quickly. They are quick to respond, innovative in their approach and flexible with fee structures. Would definitely recommend them to prospective clients.
I was recommended to engage Claire Burton at Pitman’s to support me during my divorce and what a great recommendation that was! Claire provided pragmatic, commercial and realistic advice - all delivered in a personable way, during what was a challenging period for me. I don’t like surprises and wanted to be fully appraised of the likely twists and turns and Claire met my expectations in all areas. The end result was a settlement that was fair and minimal money wasted on arguing. Post-divorce I have also used the services of Pitman’s to update my will ensuring all my financial matters are up to date. If you want an excellent solicitor who is pragmatic, savvy and knows her stuff then look no further than Claire and Pitman’s – you will not be disappointed!
We were involved in very complex and emotionally draining case that went for some 30 months. Throughout the legal battle Pitmans, Rick Munro in particular, were fantastic, offering 1st class advice and providing excellent support. We have continued to use Pitmans since for all our Company legal advice and work - I would recommend using Pitmans, an excellent firm!
