I’d like to put on record my personal thanks (and from mum as well) on how professional you have been throughout the whole process. You’ve been an outstanding ambassador for Rothera Bray in what has been an incredibly stressful and difficult time. You’ve remained calm, professional, fair, but more than anything clearly had mums best interests at heart which is all I could ask for. Wherever life takes you I’ve no doubt you’ll be a fantastic success. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you again.

Handled my case with compassion, clarity and efficiency. Having never been served a prosecution notice, in entirely unexpected circumstances, I feared the worst. Reassurance was delivered immediately. My solicitor, Olivia was a class act the whole way and Chelsey coordinated the process never missing a beat, communicating effectively throughout. I felt supported and the outcome of my court hearing has ensured that I can continue to drive.

Excellent service. Rothera Bray recently represented me in court for a driving offence and their service was second to none. Everyone that dealt with me, namely Chelsey, Georgina and especially Anton in court , were absolutely amazing. I also extend this to those working behind the scenes. They were friendly, compassionate and very understanding and at a time when I was feeling somewhat overwhelmed by everything they really put me at ease. The outcome was excellent for me following Anton's representation. I was so happy , I can't thank you enough. I highly recommend Rothera Bray and wouldn't hesitate to use them again, although I am NOT planning on finding myself in a similar situation EVER again! I couldn't have wished or hoped for a better service. Gold star. :) Thank you! X

Hi I'm Bina from Leicester and I want to let you know Rothera Bray Solicitors is best solicitor and especially Sara Odedra from Leicester. Sara recently acted as our conveyancing solicitor when I bought our first home, and I'm very happy with the service I received. As first time buyers, I am unsure on the process, but Sara was helpful throughout. She kept us updated regularly on the progress of our move and explained what is needed to do and dealt with any concerns or issues I had quickly. If anyone needs a solicitor I highly recommend SARA ODEDRA & team. Try to contact Rothera bray solicitor.

We recently sold and purchased a property and retained Rothera Bray to assist and advise with the process. We found the experience with Rothera Bray to be excellent; they were helpful, professional and provided regular updates on both transactions throughout.Our Solicitor, Abbey Freeman, was fantastic and added significant value with her advice, support and diligence. I would highly recommend Rothera Bray as a firm and Abbey in particular. Abbey and the broader team there made what can be a stressful process less so.

We would give your service a full 5 stars without hesitation. The communication from start to finish was second to none—you kept us informed at every single stage, answered our questions promptly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel entirely seamless and straightforward. We are incredibly grateful for all your hard work, thoroughness, and dedication to getting our purchase across the finish line. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rothera Bray (and specifically you!) to any family or friends looking for legal support.

George was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I had an urgent requirement, so we met on Teams. He was clear, understanding, supportive and incredibly knowledgeable! I can't recommend Rothera Bray more highly! Next time I need legal support, they will be my first call (hopefully not for while!). 10/10!
