We Used Sally Simpson for the conveyancing of our house. We couldn't be happier with the service provided it was spot on. We would recommend Rothera Bray and Sally 10 times out of 10.

Jasmin at Rothera Bray Solicitors handled our probate case with outstanding professionalism from start to finish. She was incredibly efficient and ensured we were fully informed at each step of the way, which was immensely reassuring. Jasmin's empathy shone through, and she truly went above and beyond, offering sound advice that was particularly invaluable as we were simultaneously dealing with another agency. She's a genuinely great person to have on your side, and we highly recommend Jasmin and her team.

After an initial meeting with Gabriella Kent, I felt nothing but reassured that irrespective of outcome, they could impact my situation positively. Despite the matter on going, I do not believe things would have progressed as positively or promptly without their actions. Transparent throughout and felt confident that I was being heard. Would recommend but also not hesitate to instruct for any future matters.

I just wanted to take the time to write to you to thank you so much for your help over the last 5 months or so. I know that as a professional you cannot become emotionally involved in these situations but I also know that you saw how upsetting the whole thing has been for me and your support and professionalism has been excellent. I cant thank you enough for your help and advice through the proceedings. You also managed my expectations which was really important. I wish you all the best for the future and in the nicest way possible I hope I don't need your help again moving forward but if I do then I wont hesitate to contact you.

I recently used Rothera Bray’s services for my divorce. Rebecca Hudson was my solicitor and I cannot speak highly enough of her. Rebecca has such a kind nature, I felt well supported throughout the process and valued the advice given. Rebecca really went the extra mile in what felt like a very complex situation. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone without hesitation.
