What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing and personal injury work form the backbone of what reviewers describe at this Sunderland practice, with property transactions appearing most frequently in feedback. Several customers highlight the speed at which sales and purchases complete, noting that exchanges and completions are reached well ahead of other parties in the chain. A point made in several accounts is the quality of communication, with updates provided proactively rather than requiring clients to chase progress.

Named members of staff recur throughout the accounts: Sarah Nesbitt and Stephen are repeatedly praised for keeping buyers and sellers informed and for resolving problems inherited from previous solicitors, while Jackie Rutherford and Laura Robinson are associated with the smooth handling of probate-related property sales. Chris Clayton receives credit for clear advice during legal disputes, including matters where the sums involved were modest.

Armenal Dodds is singled out by a first-time buyer for guiding the purchase from the outset. Reviewers frequently point to the firm's approachability and the thoroughness with which options and potential risks are explained, alongside a sense that queries are followed up promptly. Clinical negligence and general litigation also feature, with clients describing a reassuring manner and attention to detail throughout their cases. Value for money and a straightforward, fuss-free process are common threads.

Belated thanks to Chris Clayton for giving me some good advice at a difficult time. Whilst I didn’t end up taking my case further, I really appreciate the fact Longden Walker & Renney offered a free consultation to decide how to take things forward. My case might not have seemed very important to some solicitors due to the small amount of money involved, but Chris took the time to listen, understand and give me options, which meant a lot at an upsetting time. If I need legal help again in the future, I’d certainly get in touch with Longden Walker & Renney.

I must give my feedback/review for services provided by Stephen and Sarah at Longden Walker & renney solicitors. Stephen is highly professional and absolute friendly at the same time. He explains everything to the point and with smallest details, and make sure individual is fully aware of both positive and negative factors. I must recommend their services. His PA Sarah is also fantastic, and takes timely follow up as and when required. The lady on reception @Susan greets you with her sweet and cheerfull voice everytime. Overall 10 on 10 for them all. Recommend 100%

Excellent service from Sarah and Stephen. Not only did they work with us on a new purchase they also supported us to solve a problem caused by our previous solicitors. They always kept us informed and nothing was a problem for them. Would highly recommend them and we would certainly use them again in the future.

Excellent service as always. We had the pleasure of dealing with Jackie Rutherford and the conveyancing team with regards to the sale of my late Father’s house. They made the process as smooth and painless as possible. We have worked with Laura Robinson for many years and had no hesitation in getting LWR’s conveyancing team to assist with this. First rate!

I've had support from Keith Lewis and Chris Clayton over many years, and I've always enjoyed a reliable, realistic and friendly service at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Longden Walker and Renney for legal services where you will always get good advice and great service.

Excellent service from Chris Clayton. Straight talking, no nonsense advice on a contract dispute which is what any client or business needs. Highly recommended.
