What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People who needed conveyancing on a house sale or purchase consistently single out the firm's property work, with Andrea Belshaw praised for steering complicated leasehold and technical matters to a clear resolution while keeping sellers and buyers informed at every stage. Horup Khan is named repeatedly for handling both sides of a move, chasing other solicitors through periods of delay and explaining the transaction in plain terms. A further theme is criminal and regulatory defence: Jared McNally is described as thorough in building cases, reviewing evidence in detail and instructing barristers early, with clients reporting strong outcomes.

Immigration matters also feature, where Naila Koser is credited with patient, knowledgeable support over several years. Across these accounts, reviewers repeatedly highlight prompt replies, updates before and after each step, and advice that makes complex issues easy to follow. Chris Furbey is mentioned for diligence on a leasehold sale, and Lina and Erik are named for clear communication during a court case. Clients describe a practice in which named solicitors combine professional expertise with a friendly, personal manner and remain approachable throughout.

Where do i start. I based my choice from here so therefore got in touch with jared mcnally. His reviews are bang on. From day one he was friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth. Nothing was to much. I was literally at my lowest point and he and his team got me through my nightmare. I cannot recommend jared enough. Go with jared and Clifford Johnston and they will give their absolute best. Thank you too all the team

Enquired about a case 2.5 weeks ago, had to chase back 3 times until finally on the third time I received a call back by the trainee solicitor who mentioned money as the first thing to throw me off like it was an issue and basically explained how we don't take driving cases but however previously they have tried to take on my driving case. More important the tone/ mannerism of the short phone call I had was in a way that they didn't want to engage with me and can't wait to get on with their day.

Horup Khan handled our recent property sale and purchase in an exemplary manner. His clear and quick communication throughout the process was much appreciated, particularly as it was not the most straightforward house move. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to move house.

Jared McNally at Cliffford Johnston & Co really understood and built up my case well. He and his team have a great package for regulatory cases which in my case included early access to a Barrister. Jared and the team took great care in presenting my case and came up with some great points from their detailed review of the evidence. I was really proud of the submissions they put forward on my behalf and they put the evidence I already had in a really persuasive way. The result was an overwhelmingly successful outcome, which has been a huge weight off my mind. I am already using Clifford Johnston again and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

As soon as I knew I was involved in a criminal court case, I contacted Clifford Johnston, my main point of contact being Lina (along with Erik). From the start, they were extremely professional. All communications were very clear and efficient; I was constantly updated, and they responded quickly to my queries. And finally, their efforts resulted in me being very happy with the outcome. I unreservedly recommend this firm.

Jared gave excellent, matter of fact and highly knowledgeable advice. He was great for the gathering of documents and statements. He pulled it all together into a professional, concise and laser-focused document that got exactly the result we needed. Costs were completely transparent from the start, which was reassuring, and a set figure meant I didn't need to worry about sending a follow up email. Jared replied at all times too, meaning I didn't have long waits to get help or answers (take a holiday, Jared!). I can't recommend Jared and by extension Clifford Johnston enough. Reassuring, friendly and professional.

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on. He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor
