Longmores Solicitors LLP > Hertford, England > Firm Profile

‘Richard Gvero has not only advised me from a legal perspective but also been hugely supportive and understanding during a particularly challenging time.’

‘All dealings with Longmores have been excellent.’

‘Miranda Mulligan has provided invaluable support. Most importantly, her approach means that I trust her. She ‘got’ the case quickly and got to grips with what I consider to be a complicated set of circumstances with many individuals involved. She approached it with a thoroughness and eye for detail that makes engaging legal assistance so worth it. She is all over the details, dates, individuals, and facts of the case. Her relationship with the barrister used for the case is excellent and this brings so much more value.’

‘As soon as I spoke with Miranda Mulligan, she reassured me and gave genuine, honest and straightforward advice. She is knowledgeable, always proactive and pragmatic, and her guidance is given with no unnecessary jargon. She is a valuable asset to the firm and a great individual to have representing you.’

‘I have worked with a number of teams including litigation, conveyancing and employment, I found the team all worked well collaboratively and individually.’

‘It has been a pleasure working as an Executor with Longmores team who have proved to be attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. The estate has proved to be challenging due to there being no living relatives and rather random paperwork but they have taken on the challenge, been friendly and supportive, helped find additional outside professionals to dealing with the house and chattels and at all times kept me as the sole executor fully informed. I would not hesitate tor recommend them to others or use them again.’

‘This practice was recommended to us as we needed new wills and Power of Attorney agreements. We found the solicitor Charles Fraser very helpful and efficient. Unlike the firm we used previously Mr Fraser did not ‘lead’ or hurry us but good documentation was provided and any queries were clearly answered and the implications explained.’

‘Longmores have been established for a long time. They have a fantastic reputation of being the “go-to Solicitors” in Hertford. They consistently “go the extra mile” for their clients. They work with great professionalism and integrity. When clients require advice from a couple of departments for more complex situations, this is a seamless process. I have passed a number of clients to Longmores in my role as an Independent Financial Adviser, they have all been very happy with the service/advice they have received. ’

‘My dealings have mostly been with Alastair Liddiard. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is very patient, especially when dealing with vulnerable or elderly clients. He explains complex matters very well, so they are understood. He will go out of his way to ensure a professional job is undertaken. I’m also very grateful that Alastair is always accessible and in my role as an Independent Financial Adviser, Alastair often answers a variety of queries. This helps me in my job a great deal. ’

They are highly effective in problem solving.’

‘Kerrie Hall was fantastic dealing with my case. Kerrie took the time to understand the situation and give great advice. Kerrie’s approach was fair and considered at all times. The other party were extremely hostile and looking to provoke a reaction, we made a decision to not fight fire with fire and our responses were mature and child focused. I felt I could trust Kerrie and she fully understood the case. ’

‘Tracey Dargan is fantastic. Clear in her advice, thoughtful and considered in her approach to cases, and determined to get the best results for her client. Leads a great team.’

‘The Longmores team offers London advice at Regional prices and is strong in their area of expertise.’

‘For me, the standout at Longmores has to be Rachael Spalton. She’s simply excellent and has been my go-to solicitor for many years now. Rachael’s approach is unparalleled – nothing is ever a problem for her, and she navigates challenges with ease, always finding a solution. This, in my opinion, is the primary reason I’ve stuck with her for so long. I have complete confidence that Rachael will provide sound guidance and protect my business interests without fail.

‘Longmores has an excellent track record advising my clients legally in respect of commercial leases, planning and development (particularly option, promotion and overage) and transactional matters. Other firms are capable, but Longmores never fail to impress with good case management and pragmatic progress through matters which might otherwise drag.’
