“First class service from Douglas and his team. After being let down by another solicitor I phoned Douglas to put an offer in on a house at 930am his swift work had an offer accepted by 4pm. He handed everything and cannot recommend him enough. He kept me right with my first house purchase.”

“We used Fergusson Law to sell our current house and move into our new house. We were very happy with the service provided. We found them to be extremely responsive, which you need in such a process, and also able to provide sound and thoughtful advice. Fergusson Law also worked well with our selling agent. We would definitely recommend them to others.”

“We have just bought and sold our house with Blair Cadell and could not have been happier with our experience. Jamie, Kirsty and Adele made the process straightforward for us. At every step they were communicative and responsive. And what’s more we always felt that they were on our side as their clients. They helped us negotiate and get good deals in both our sale and purchase. If you are looking at buying or selling your property I don’t think you could be in better hands than with Blair Cadell, they have our highest recommendation.”

“After receiving a charge of dangerous driving I sought help from this firm. Ronnie Simpson managed my case and I can't praise him enough for all the help and support that was provided. This was a really stressful time and Ronnie helped ease my anxieties/worries. He kept me well informed throughout this difficult process and acted in a professional manner at all times. With Ronniie's expertise in traffic law, he negotiated with the PF and got this charge dismissed and I can't thank him enough for this. I would highly recommend this firm.”

“cannot express how grateful I am for Ali assistance with my case. He was incredibly responsive and always kept me updated on the progress. Ali made sure l understood my options and provided sound advice at every turn. His communication skills are top-notch, making a stressful situation much easier to navigate. I would definitely recommend Ali to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable attorney!"”

“Warners have been amazing with our house sale. The entire team worked really well together in their specialist areas. From the moment Donald visited for the valuation (which was spot on to the home report), to Amanda negotiating the sale we felt we were in good hands, they are very responsive when there are issues and it was extremely competitively priced too. Ive already recommended the firm to others. Thank you to everyone on the team including: Amanda, Donald, Alice, Sarah, Anne, Michelle etc!”

“This is long overdue. It may have been the case that Johnson Legal were the first firm to respond to my enquiry in December 2023 however I feel extremely fortunate they did. Beverley was incredible from the start, offering sound legal advice during the most difficult situation i have experienced, but also able to offer caring and supportive words to help me through it - as well as a couple firm pieces of advice when I was struggling. I didn’t know where to start and I felt in safe hands throughout. They created a safe space for me during an emotionally challenging time. I can’t thank Beverley (and Yasmin) enough and strongly recommend Johnson Legal.”

“Ryan at the Kirkcaldy branch was a total professional throughout my entire claim. Kept me fully in the loop and I never felt I was a bother at any stage. Many Thanks.”

“From the first day I met Damir Duheric he became a beacon of hope for me and my family. Going through a visa process can be the most overwhelming, stressful and energy-consuming journey one can ever experience! However, I must say that, Damir made the process much easier. Always professional, honest, straight forward but at the same time kind, friendly and empathetic with their clients. I only have wonderful things to say about my experience with Damir. I am extremely grateful for everything he did for me and my family. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor to take on my case..! Therefore, without a doubt, the best immigration solicitor..!”

“Professional, understanding and well prepared. Could not fault McLaughlin any step of the way throughout my case. Laura was outstanding and very confident which assured me during a sensitive time. Very much appreicted”

“I recently bought a property as a secong home in Edinburgh. I recieved an excellent service from Natasha, who was particularly helpful in providing advice and liasing with my mortgage adviser and mortgage funders. Having bought and sold in Edinburgh over the years, this has to be the best service and value for money, I have recieved to date.”

“I really liked Elaine - she's straight to the point, and was able to tell me in half an hour what another solicitor took an hour to tell. I've engaged her on financial separation, and she gives clear advice and instructions early on. Very experienced too. if you're new to family law solicitors, I recommend writing down what you want to ask at a meeting because it'll save time both you and the solicitor.”

“Hi, although the firm couldn’t help with my matter the receptionist, Lauren I believe, went above and beyond today for me and was a million times better than anyone I’ve spoken to, and I’ve called around 70 law firms and my latter is very specific. Credit to the company. Thank You.”

“Having never had an injury claim prior to this I have received the best service from McDougall Solicitors. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish I was kept informed and every step was explained. Thank you again to Fiona Fraser and the team.”

“We’re a micro-sized independent business, and because of that, I wasn’t confident we even stood a chance of getting a sponsorship license. Rumour has it the process is expensive, complicated, and nearly impossible for small businesses. But Euan completely changed that experience for us. From our very first meeting, he explained the entire application process step by step. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional and answered every single question I had—always followed up with a clear and detailed email summarizing the key points we’d discussed. Euan clearly keeps himself on top of the latest changes to the immigration rules. Thanks to his guidance and attention to timing, we managed to get our licence application submitted and approved just days before the new rules kicked in. As a result, my staff member was able to apply for her visa without delay. I really can’t thank Euan enough. If you’re a small business looking for help navigating the sponsorship process, I couldn’t recommend him more.”
