I recently used this firm to deal with my late aunts estate. They were very knowledgeable, efficient and approachable. The whole process was explained in detail and I was kept updated along the way. A special mention goes to Sarah Simpson as her customer service was excellent. She dealt with everything I asked or needed doing straight away and I trusted her completely to do what she said she would. A rarity in this day and age. I would highly recommend this firm of solicitors .

Laura was our brilliant solicitor, who helped us with buying our first house together. Laura was so attentive and compassionate and nothing was ever too much trouble for her to help us with our buying process. Our experience was brilliant from start to finish and we were really happy with the communication too. I would recommend Laura and Rothera Bray to others too. A huge thank you!

I can only praise Rothera Bray as being a highly professional organisation, and the service I received from Anton Balkitis and Rebeca Large-Rodriguez was exceptional. Their advice was clear, they gave excellent support, and ultimately helped to secure a very favourable result for me, for all of which I’m extraordinarily grateful. I would thoroughly recommend Rothera Bray as offering great value for money.

We have been engaging the services of Rothera Bray Solicitors on a regular basis since 2020, with Lauren overseeing several matters on our behalf. On every occasion, the service has been of the highest standard – consistently professional, thorough, and supported by exceptional expertise. We are sincerely grateful for the assistance we have received from both Lauren and George. We greatly value their integrity and the professional diligence with which they approach every case, and above all, their commitment to providing realistic, reliable advice and acting at all times in strict accordance with the law on our behalf.
