What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People buying their first home and families arranging deputyship or probate at this Sunderland practice describe a consistently professional and approachable service. Residential conveyancing features heavily in the feedback, with purchasers noting that the process was explained thoroughly, questions answered promptly, and completions reached without unnecessary delay, even where an awkward seller complicated matters. Stephen Donohue is named for property purchases, Savannah for a house sale, Tracey and Joanne for their friendly yet thorough manner, Carlie for her support, Gabrielle for timely handling of queries and John Griffith for guiding a family through Parole Board procedure.

Deputyship work is described as invaluable to relatives stepping in for an elderly parent, while Lasting Power of Attorney and probate matters are recalled as resolved smoothly, with wills drafted after discussion of ideas and drafts approved without stress. A recurring theme is the clarity of advice and the responsiveness of staff, solicitors and legal assistants alike, to emails and telephone calls. Reviews time and again mention being kept informed at every stage, from initial instruction through to the finished transaction, and the sense that the same care applied whether the matter concerned a first property or a change in family circumstances.

I've recently used the services of Emmersons Solicitors. Their service was professional and my issue was managed with empathy. Just before Christmas they went above and beyond, at short notice, to help me for which I am very grateful. Everyone I met was friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. I will be using their services again soon.

I used Emmersons Solicitors to create my Will for me. The service was made very clear upfront and the staff were very professional, approachable, helpful and quick to respond to communications throught the process. I would definately recommend them without hesitation.

I went to Emmersons for advice on probate matters, which were quickly and satisfactorily resolved. After this change in circumstances, I was advised to make my will. We discussed my ideas, and I provided the necessary details, after which a draft was presented for my approval. I was able to consult by email on any changes/questions. It was a very smooth process and not stressful at all. I would happily recommend Emmersons for probate and willmaking.

Emmersons Solicitors have provided an excellent service creating our wills and Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Wealthfare and Property and Finance. We were supported at every stage of the procedure, everything was fully explained. Tracy Hammond guided us through the task of putting our wishes into official documentation. Alicia Speed took us through the final version of the wills with full and detailed explanations and Joanne Brown kept us up to date with progress. It is a difficult time planning for the future, ensuring family are looked after and simplifying things for the family when the time comes. Our experience with Emmersons has been first class and I would highly recommend them.
