I had a brief telephone consultation with Olivia Maginn and was extremely impressed by her professionalism, clear advice and reassuring approach. Her assessment of my situation was absolutely spot on, including the likely outcome. Knowledgeable, approachable and straight to the point. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services. Thank you, Olivia!

I had a great experience with Lauren throughout the settlement agreement process. She was friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I fully understood each part of the agreement. She responded quickly to my emails and was always happy to answer any questions I had. She made the whole process clear and straightforward. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her services.

Rothera Bray were great at handling the purchase of our first home. Their responses were quick, work efficient, and communication great overall. Sade and Shelby were professional and personable throughout - and I would recommend Rothera Bray to anyone in the Nottingham area!

I honestly can’t thank Rothera Bray Solicitors enough for helping me through my case. It was an extremely stressful time, but they handled everything professionally and kept me well informed throughout. I’m extremely relieved with the result. I’d happily recommend them to anyone needing help with a motoring matter. Five-star service from start to finish!

Ellie & Grace were extremely helpful with regards to the sale of our late mother’s house. It was not an easy sale but Ellie advised us and chased the others in the chain relentlessly to get it across the line. Cannot rate them highly enough.

Mr. Martin Witherspoon, from Rothera Bray LLP, provided very clear information and continued guidance regarding the process to register our powers of attorney with the Office of the Public Guardian. My wife and I felt reassured by his professional handling of the whole process from beginning to end. We had a couple of questions which he answered with speed and aplomb. Overall, the quality and efficiency of his work were as usual nothing short of excellent.

From the outset of asking Rothera Bray to do my conveyancing for a property they have been outstanding. They have been very efficient, professional and guided me through the procedures/things to be done on a regular basis. They have also helped me to cope with the actual selling - which they made as 'stress free' as possible for me. I have been a client of Bray & Bray now Rothera Bray for many years. They have sorted various things out for me - and the outcomes have always been as required. The people I have seen regarding all things have been professional, kind, very good with advice, and sorting out my needs.

I recently used Rothera Bray to complete the transfer of equity for my house. My Solicitor was Fatima Altaf, the whole process although very stressful for me due to the divorce process, was handled exceptionally well by Fatima and the team. We had a very tight deadline to work to, set by the court and Fatima was always there at the end of the phone or email. I would definitely recommend.

Very efficient, professional, and friendly legal advice on some employment matters.

I came to Rothera Bray facing a totting-up disqualification and genuinely didn’t know how things would go. From the first conversation, the team took the time to understand, not just the legal position, but the real-life impact a ban would have had on my work and my ability to support those around me. Anton represented me at the hearing and did so with conviction. Georgina in particular went above and beyond - she was available when I needed her, patient when I had questions, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Rebecca and Chelsea were equally on it, keeping everything moving and responding quickly throughout. The result meant that I kept my license and could continue with life as normal. If, like me, you find yourself facing a driving disqualification and are wondering who to turn to for representation, I really wouldn’t look anywhere else.

I have used the services of Rothera Bray Solicitors for both probate for my husband and the writing of my new will. Ann Farnill and her team have been excellent throughout, guiding me through the procedures in a professional, efficient and sympathetic manner. Myself and the family would thoroughly recommend their services.

We used Rothera Bray (Mapperley) conveyancing services for the first time and would highly recommend them. They were very efficient with prompt replies to emails making the sale process very smooth.
