I recently engaged Ewan Paton from Rothera Bray – he was approachable, professional, and genuinely understanding throughout a difficult time. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and always made me feel at ease. His calm and practical approach gave me great confidence, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. I’d highly recommend Ewan to anyone needing reliable and compassionate legal advice.

I was with another firm but as soon as I seen the reviews on this firm I changed to this firm. I cannot recommend this firm enough. I have had Gabriella and Hannah working on my case they are a credit to this firm also informing me on my case. Raising any issues immediately. Very polite and professional. I would recommend anyone using this firm.

Brilliant solicitors, very quick with responding to emails too, and helping with any questions you may have. I used Rothera Bray to buy my house, and honestly I can 100% recommend them. Very fast, professional! I would and will use them again in future. Thank you so much.

I can’t thank the team enough for everything they’ve done for me and my children. From start to finish, the whole company have been absolutely brilliant — always putting our needs and wishes first and supporting us every step of the way. Their communication, care, and understanding have been second to none. A special mention has to go to Emily, who is truly one in a million. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard, reassured, and fully supported throughout what was one of the most difficult times in my life. I’d highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about both you and your family. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done.

I would like to send a big shout out to Anton Balkitis at Rothera Bray. Appearing at Court for me and handling the judges, knowing what to say and how to say it, is not something I could have done on my own. It felt good to have someone on my side that really knew their stuff. I highly recommend for anyone who needs a helping hand and wants the best outcome at Court.

I was very satisfied by the experience of asking the solicitors at Rothera Bray to assist my wife and I sell our property. They were most helpful, easy to liaise with and always gave excellent advice and service. I would recommend Rothera Bray without hesitation because of their professionalism throughout my interaction with them. First class!

My Solicitor (Georgina) meticulously reviewed all my details in the case, explained the process clearly and prepared a strong defence. I felt supported throughout the entire process and was very grateful for their guidance. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
