Providing personal and proactive legal solutions for you and your business

I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in a similar situation (although I would advise against getting into such a situation in the first place!) and I'm very grateful for all you have done.

Mr S, Worcester

Thanks for the clarification, I'm so glad I asked you to handle it rather than me trying to do it (the divorce) online!

EP

Ian, many thanks for all the support over the last two years, from day one your advice and support have been excellent.

Mr H, Worcester

Lisa and I would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to you and the team at SME for everything that you have done to make our house move possible. It wasn't the easiest of situations for any of us but we made it in the end!

Mr W, Worcester

We would just like to thank you for all your hard work in the conveyancing of my late stepfather's property. We doubted it would complete, so we were so relieved when it finally did all thanks to your perseverance and professionalism. We were very impressed at being kept informed every step of the way, which really helped us through this arduous sale, and we would certainly recommend you should the need ever arise. Wishing you the very best for the future.

Mr & Mrs P, Worcester

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you. I think we were all looking forward to the day when this sale would be over and nonetheless you have been incredibly dedicated in combating all the issues we have had to face to purchase our home and we cannot thank you enough for the service you have provided. You really are highly skilled in your sector and we hope you are rewarded and continue to be successful because you deserve it. We are so overwhelmingly excited and are in love with our new home.

Mr & Mrs Z

As ever I have been very pleased with the attention and service received, and we are returning to you again.

Mrs L

I am very pleased with the work you have done for me and my brothers. Thank you so much, and Jane too.

Miss C, Worcester

Hi Liz, just a note to thank you for the wonderful and efficient service you gave us when selling our property. We are very grateful for the way that you and your staff handled the sale.

Mr & Mrs T, Worcester

You’ve been brilliant and I’m more than happy with your work!

Ms S-J

Ian offered a great service during the short time he dealt with my divorce. He was prompt in responding to my queries and questions and explained things clearly to me every time. I felt comfortable dealing with Ian face to face and over phone and email. I would recommend him to others in the future.

Mrs L, Worcester

I used SME solicitors through strong recommendation from professional friends that are in the property business and SME have always been my parents solicitors – I was not disappointed. I had what I thought was going to be a difficult move, my chain had 4 properties in it, me being the end property. I also had another property that had to be sold before I could move on in my chain, it was all happening at the same time. Liz Stirk was the solicitor dealing with both of my property chains, she was brilliant! We had our up’s and down’s in the whole process but due to her very professional approach, always being on hand to speak to and answering emails straight away! She made it happen, all with very little stress for me. It is all down to Liz for all the reasons above. I would not hesitate to recommend SME Solicitors and their services to anyone.

Mr B, Tewkesbury

This week has been a foretaste of life as an old person and it wasn't great but seeing you was a spirit booster for sure.

Thank you again and as always for your help, patience and understanding whilst holding our hands through the minefield of legalities, we knew nothing of that world and you were the perfect guide!

Mr & Mrs D

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all the staff involved in the work carried out on our [behalf]. We have been coming to SME for nearly 50 years and we have always been extremely satisfied.

Mr & Mrs B

Thank you for your help with the contract. Justine's comments about the various issues were spot on, and I went back and challenged them wholesale. They agreed on all points (with a couple of minor caveats) and we duly signed & have started work.

JH

My late father had used your services and was very happy with them.

Mrs W

I would not hesitate to go to Joanna Gardner at SME again.

Ms Smith

May I thank you and your team for the very efficient conveyancing process and completion of our property.

You managed it all in double quick time eliminating the stress usually incurred with a house purchase.

Mrs T

I just wanted to say thank you to you - you were so kind and helpful when we first visited you and we felt so lost with the legal stuff. Your personal approach made this so much easier and Sam and I both felt much better afterwards.

Mr & Mrs B

All good and great that SME have done a lot for our family throughout the years and especially recently in one way or another!

Mr M

We wanted to thank you so much for all your work on the house we were so impressed by your thoroughness and professionalism. It made the whole experience so much easier and we really appreciate your help.

Ms R, Worcestershire

I have been very pleased with your services [Ian] and will continue to pass the word of your business to family and friends; and if I needed [legal] services in the future you will be my first port of call. 

Mrs A

I have to thank you personally for your professionalism and guidance in all of this and I know at times it has been a little tricky but thanks to you we have been guided safely to its conclusion.

Mrs B

Many thanks for your wise and empathic counsel over the last two years. I have really appreciated your guidance through such a distressing period of my life.

Mrs A, Worcester

It is often said that divorce lawyers are not just expensive but ridiculously expensive or drag things out to make more money. My response to these comments is simple - using SME was the best money I’ve ever spent! You may think that’s odd for a Yorkshire financial bod, but it genuinely is. Your team really did a good job and educated me with what I needed to know whilst sheltering me from what wasn’t necessary.

Mr L

Thank you for your help with everything at this difficult time for me and being a good listener.

Client from Worcestershire

I have found Guy Salter to be a knowledgeable employment law specialist who dealt with my case with professionalism and compassion. I achieved an excellent result working with him which would not have been achieved on my own.

Mr Davies

You did a sterling job for us with the house – thank you for everything. I type this from the (grandly named, but very small) office – an achievement in itself! If I could find someone as reliable and conscientious to help me with the mountain of DIY jobs, then I would be a happy man...

Mr H, Essex

We wish to thank you most sincerely for your time and the efficient manner in which you have dealt with these somewhat delicate affairs. We have appreciated your genuine care, sensitivity and patience shown throughout. You helped make our visits to Stallard March & Edwards most pleasurable.

Mr & Mrs C

On a personal note I would just like to thank you for your help and understanding at a time when I was perhaps not at my best! Your kindness and humour certainly put me at ease and gave me great confidence that all was being done with our very best interests!

Mrs A, Worcester

Once Ian took over my case he was great, friendly, approachable and helpful. I would certainly recommend Ian to others...

Mrs L, Worcester

I have enjoyed working with Guy as he has carefully steered us through the minefield of employment legislation. He provides thoughtful, pragmatic and helpful advice with a commercial view. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any other company for employment advice.

Mr C, Newport

I had all but given up hope of pursuing my unfair dismissal case until I was introduced to Guy Salter from SME. Guy has been a real inspiration and has handled my case with great sensitivity, professionalism, perception and deliberation. I had the benefit of support from Lisa and an incredible Counsel too, thanks to Guy, and it was an amazing team effort that succeeded in securing a positive outcome for me. Facing a legal system for the first time can be very daunting, but with the support of Guy and his team and their confident and industrious approach to pursuing my case, it certainly lessened the burden and my anxieties. My sincere thanks and appreciation to you all.

Lynn, Warwickshire

We are so pleased that we contacted Stallard March & Edwards and are delighted with everything that has been undertaken on our behalf. An essential requirement for the family at a difficult time is trust; knowing that you are working with people who understand your needs and circumstances and who can deliver in a sympathetic and professional manner. Stallard March & Edwards offered us just that. Thank you.

Mr S, Worcester

Thanks for the great service I've received. As the man from Honda says, it's nice when things just work. I'll be back in touch next time I buy a house.

Matt, Worcester

The only ray of light in this nightmare has been meeting you. Thank you for all your guidance and wonderful work. Please say thank you to your secretary and Mr Stirzaker as well.

Mrs D, Worcester

Thank you for all the excellent sound advice throughout the last two years. From day one, your professional knowledge and support have been outstanding.

Mr H, Worcester

Thank you very much for your help in explaining the current legal position regarding wills, trustees and powers of attorney so clearly and for drawing up the appropriate documents.

Mr G, Worcester

I must thank you for your excellent work for the Trust since you have been involved with our affairs. We have been most fortunate to have had your assistance.

Mr RD, Worcester

It's been a pleasure to work with you [Ian Stirzaker] too obviously and thanks for all your help in this matter.

Mr RL, Worcester

I cannot express my thanks enough, I hugely appreciate your application and diligence in bringing this to a conclusion. It will be so nice I am sure to start the New Year without this lingering on.

Mr DJ, Worcester

I would like to thank you for all your assistance during this whole procedure which has been dealt with in a friendly and professional manner throughout. Your help during this period has been an enormous comfort to myself and my husband.

Client from Worcester

I just wanted to take a moment to say a very genuine and meaningful thank you for all the recent work you have put into everything we have been dealing with. I enjoy dealing with SME Solicitors for a multitude of reasons and your efficiency, communication and understanding are always appreciated.

The conveyancing in particular with thanks to Liz is seamless and extremely professional. I have enormous trust in what you do and that is why I return to SME with any legal matters that need attention.

Again, thank you.

Mr K, Birmingham

Thank you for helping us. Your services were excellent and I would recommend your firm to my friends if they ever need them. Once again our thanks.

Mrs B, Birmingham

Being one that sometimes struggles with what I perceive as being unfair or unreasonable, I know that I can be headstrong in those circumstances. Your handling of those occasions was impressive and achieving a satisfactory outcome which seemed unlikely for most of the cases equally so. In the nicest possible way I hope that I will not need your services again, but should I, your number would be the first one I would call, and I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your firm.

Thanks, Ian, please stay in touch.

Mr D, Worcester

Just a personal note to thank you for your help, encouragement and advice.

Whilst I'm guessing my sale/purchase fell into the 'straightforward basket', I know as always little issues creep in.

I can only thank you sincerely given the fact that we move forward to our next property purchase adventure!

Mr P, Worcester

May I take this opportunity to thank you, Liz, on behalf of Christine and myself for the excellent work that you've done on our behalf and how pleased we've been with both the professional and personal manner in which you've carried out the work.

Mr H, Worcestershire

It is always a pleasure to deal with the team at SME, they have a way of cutting through the broader points and addressing the finer detail which is refreshing.

Mr S, Worcestershire

Jack Smith was very helpful in providing legal advice for a property matter. He explained the legal problems well and sorted out our problem; he responded very quickly to our queries. I would definitely seek his advice again should the need arise.

Mr R, Malvern

We used SME Solicitors when negotiating and finalising the terms for our commercial lease property. We worked closely with Will who was fantastic at keeping us informed and driving matters forward. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others and will certainly use them again.

Mrs U, Bromsgrove

David helped us to achieve a great outcome for a potentially tricky situation.

AW

I just wanted to say a big thank you for pursuing this result today. It is such a relief to have it settled and go into the weekend knowing where we are.

Mr DS

Please say thanks to Jo, she saved my life and was absolutely brilliant.

Mrs W, Worcester

I'm so glad I've got you working for me.

Mrs P, Worcester

Spoke to Florence [Goodwin]... one of the most straightforward and delightful conversations I’ve ever had with a lawyer! Bloody marvellous!

Mr B, Worcester

Can I take this opportunity to also say how much I have valued your consistent friendly relaxed professional support at all times,  it really has been greatly appreciated.

Mrs Valerie Grove

We are truly grateful for the advice and work that you have done for us at such a difficult time in our lives. You were marvellous.

Mrs M, Worcestershire

Thank you for everything you have done over these past 2 years, I was very lucky it was you and I will always be grateful for your guidance and compassion.

Mrs M, Worcester

Thank you so much for all your support; you have been amazing. I appreciate how honest and kind you are. To have a solicitor who actually cares is priceless. I now see why you were recommended. Best family lawyer for sure!

Mrs D

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for helping me when I really needed it. It's been a tough year but you helped to keep me sane and got it over the line for me. Thanks again.

Mr B

[SME] handled a change of name for my son on his recent 18^th birthday. You were not only efficient and clear but also understanding of the emotional nature of the situation. You kept a balance of warmth and professionalism, which made the process easy. Many thanks.

Mrs S

I want to say a massive thank you to all of you and your colleagues for all your hard work in helping me with the divorce settlement. It’s been awful for me and you and your colleagues have got me through it. I am now able to move on with what I need to do. I am spending day 1 getting the house sorted. I am now happy again.

Mr T

Thanks again for all of your hard work in making this happen, and your 11th hour support was especially appreciated.

Mr M, Worcestershire

May I take this opportunity to thank you for the efficient, helpful and courteous way you have guided me through the sale of the above property.

Mr D, Worcester

I couldn't ask for any more! Professional, responsive, friendly and caring... perfect service! [The] communication was brilliant. The service was exceptional, I would (and have) recommended SME to anyone... thank you!

Mr & Mrs E

I would recommend Guy Salter to anyone who has an employment dispute, whether company or individual. Analytical, open, direct and compassionate (also a wicked sense of humour), he will always advise you on what course of action you should take, keeping you fully aware of any potential pitfalls. Someone you can trust and rely upon.

Annette Strain, Financial Controller at Motovario Limited

Thanks again for making this process a quick & easy one, it was just how I needed to get this done whilst working out here in a stressful environment. I will be recommending your services to anyone whom may need them in the future.

Mr T

I just wanted to say thanks very much for the great service you have provided to Tom. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends and family who need employment advice in the future.

Ann

Please can I offer my heartfelt thanks for your advice, support, and professional services in bringing this matter to a conclusion.

Mrs G

It’s been a painful 10 months, a learning curve where a better understanding of what is deemed fair. You’ve taken time to understand my position and I consider the work you have done for me as being the best possible given my circumstances. It is difficult not to get bitter and twisted and with your help I’ve managed (almost!) to see things more clearly…

Mr N, Worcester

Exceptional service throughout the process of our business sale. Will Cadbury was reliable, meticulously thorough, efficient and prompt to respond to any queries. Couldn’t recommend his services highly enough.

Christina Finch

You have been wonderful, and should I ever need your services again, I will not hesitate to contact you in the future. You have been outstanding with your commitment to the case and thank you.

Client from Worcestershire

Thank you for your email and confirming everything is in order. I really appreciated your guidance and prompt response at each turn, I’m very grateful for all your help.

A happy Employment department client

Thank you so much for your patient advice and support during this testing period You made something that was highly complex make sense and relatively easy to navigate.

A happy Family department client

We would like to thank you for all your help in this matter which has been very prolonged and stressful for family members. Without your help this matter would have been even further prolonged. On initial discussion you stated these matters can hopefully be resolved with a few solicitors letters and generally result with a compromise between both parties which is exactly what has happened.

A satisfied Dispute Resolution client

Thank you very much for your support and guidance over the last sixteen or so months. We have really appreciated your clear and comprehensive answers to the questions that we have had. At times it felt slow as we wanted the administrative side of closing down our Mother's estate to be over. But we know that we just needed to let the process take its course. Thank you also to Jane who was always there to take our telephone calls. That too was very much appreciated. And finally we felt that the SME Conveyancing team did a great job in supporting us with the sale of our Mother's house. So thank you to all the individuals at SME who have been so helpful to us throughout the last year.

Client from Worcestershire

I have to thank you personally for your professionalism and guidance in all of this and I know at times it has been a little tricky but thanks to you we have been guided safely to its conclusion.

Client from Worcester

May I thank you and your team for the very efficient conveyancing process and completion of our property.

You managed it all in double quick time eliminating the stress usually incurred with a house purchase.
