We as an organisation have used Rothera Bray on numerous other occasions when we have sold houses in our portfolio. Both Sarrina and Julekha are very easy to work with and have an abundance of knowledge in the legal conveyancing framework. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I cannot thank Seetal and Rothera Bray Solicitors enough for all the hard work and support they have given me over the last 4 years with my accident at work claim. They have been extremely thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Every step was clearly explained to me, and I always felt like they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me a lot of confidence during a very difficult time. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

I used Rebecca's services via Rothera Bray Solicitors to deal with the financial side to a divorce. I had an initial face to face appointment to talk through everything with Rebecca and this made me feel at ease and felt that Rebecca was the right person to help me. Rebecca has kept me highly informed at all stages throughout and has also given lots of great advice and has helped me a lot with getting things sorted. I am really happy with the service that I received and Rebecca was so friendly, kind, understanding and very helpful. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is requiring the help during a divorce.

We recently wished to effect a Declaration of Trust and changes to our tax positions with HMRC. It turned out to be relatively straightforward. However, in large part this was probably due to Ed Granger who dealt with the matter for us. He was highly attentive, full and clear in his explanations and checked our inputs thoroughly at every stage. Highly diligent, very pleasant and quick to respond. Thank you Ed.

Excellent service and advice from Lauren Kilbride at Rothera Bray Solicitors. Her advice was comprehensive, timely and professionally given. It made my decision making easy and the advice was delivered in language easy to understand. I would have no hesitation in seeking her services again should I require them.

Since 2017 Carol Freeman and her assistant Gail Garner have dealt with the selling and buying of a number of properties for me for personal and bereavement reasons. They have been excellent and I can’t praise them enough. Thoroughly professional, reassuring and patient. I have complete trust in them.

Julekha was a breath of fresh air as a conveyancing solicitor, she always had time for my many questions, was super efficient and constantly kept us up to date. Her time scale was excellent, although we could only go as fast as everyone else in the chain. Her Paralegal Sarrina Mills was also a real pleasure to deal with. Over all I would definitely recommend using them. Thank you
