Testimonials

‘The team at Greene and Greene were truly exceptional in their ability to provide us with a professional service combining empathy, understanding and communication skills. They helped us to comprehend how to navigate a very complex situation and we felt really reassured throughout the whole process. What we imagined as being a stereotypical sterile environment was the complete opposite and they made us feel really comfortable throughout. I’m really impressed by their diligence and commitment to their clients.’
‘We dealt with Martine Swaep over an extensive period of time and we found her to be very professional, thorough and well informed. She explained everything to us and nothing was too much trouble for her. She was impressive in her comprehension of our requirements and her ability to provide us with information, even though we wanted specific and bespoke needs. We were delighted with her technical expertise and the manner in which she handled our situation.’
‘Friendly and professional with a good knowledge of their subject.’
‘We have used Greene and Greene for probate work and will be using them further. They have been very efficient, quick and easy to deal with unlike two other solicitors we have had occasion to use over the last year.’
‘We have been with Nigel Scase and have liked that we can make direct contact with him rather than having to go through switchboards, he is always quick to return calls and emails, he explains things in plain English and ensures we have understood. He is happy to field questions from us and has been patient when we have difficulty making decisions.’
