Testimonials

  • ‘Helen Midgley was a stand-out. The first time I spoke to Helen, I knew I had found the right Solicitor; she was very empathetic, understanding and always made me feel at ease in times I was very stressed and upset.'

  • ‘Sally Powell is outstanding. Thoughtful, technical advice that was pragmatic and human. In a very complex, high value situation, she shone. Instructing the right barrister, dealing with the details of multi-million pound claims, she knows all the technical details. In addition, she has great humanity in dealing with all the parties. Costs were transparent and reasonable. ’

  • ‘Tees are brilliant. They have quality at all levels and are number one for farming cases. Their personable approach and can do attitude make them the best firm in Bishop's Stortford and the surrounding areas. ’

  • ‘I have previously worked with Katie Stewart on a particularly difficult financial matter. It was a case made far easier by the ability to be able to pick up the telephone and have a constructive and non-confrontational conversation with Katie. The case was eventually resolved without the need for Court proceedings as a consequence.'

  • ‘When using this law firm, they have been very professional and have the interests of their clients at the forefront of what they are doing. I have recommended them for another client and would do this again.’

  • ‘The Tees family team are hugely experienced and great at everything they do. They are very professional, caring and responsive when working together on cases. They will pick up the phone to discuss a problem rather than write letters, which is invariably helpful.'
