Excellent service and very professional. Worked with Solicitor Lauren Kilbride and she did her best to ensure I got the legal support I needed and helped me to understand issues which I did not even considered before I talked to her.

Very positive, follow up times for email and telephone queries were satisfactory and quality of advice was exceptional. Felt that transparency over any potential obstacles was high, and at each stage my expectations were managed. They sought to clarify details that had not been submitted properly by other parties and had the potential to frustrate the process, and quickly resolved any discrepancies to prevent having to reapply. I would recommend Rothera Bray Solicitors, because the process was made more soluble and less daunting by communication with Sandy and Michelle.

I had a positive experience with Lauren Kilbride and the team at Rothera Bray during my settlement agreement process. Lauren was professional, approachable and helpful throughout, taking the time to guide me through the process and answer my questions. Communication was clear, and I appreciated the support and reassurance provided during what could have been a stressful time. I’m grateful for their assistance and would recommend the firm to others looking for professional legal support.

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.
