Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Very professional and knowledgeable about personal tax, trusts and probate. A large company with enough staff that questions can be answered quickly and efficiently. Gives realistic advice and expectations. As the firm has a large range of departments can advise across a number of areas, and have previously advised me on family law. Billing is clearly outlined at the beginning of proceedings. Keeps us updated on progress, even if no response from HMRC, so we never felt we were forgotten about, and made us confident that things were in hand.’
‘Catherine Mowat dealt with us primarily and was courteous, friendly, and understanding in very upsetting times. She made the whole process clear and simplified things for us at a time when we would have struggled to do things for ourselves. She kept costs to a minimum where possible and clarified what things were chargeable and which were not. The associates were knowledgeable, understanding and kept on top of things if Catherine was temporarily unavailable.’
‘It feels like a straightforward practice that does what it says on the tin and is good value for money.’
‘Chris Claxton-Shirley was always available to answer questions, including at face-to-face meetings, and I felt the advice provided was good.’
‘I have always found Tees Law very helpful and easy to talk with from the initial contact with the reception to the partners I have worked with. They communicate clearly and effectively. I have found it easy to visit the office when needed and to carry out other communications by email etc. Compared with other firms I have dealt with, I would rate Tees very highly.’
‘My first dealing were to make my will and Catherine Mowatt was excellent in explaining the options and consequences of various courses of action.'
