“Absolutely excellent service! David Berridge was straight forward and very to the point, kept me in the loop throughout my case and handled it well with sound and logical advice. He was also conscious of the cost and always gave me options with explanation to each process as well as the possible cost it could incur. David acted in a timely manner, communicated well and was efficient in dealing with my divorce case. My parents as well as other family members have also utilised the services of Rothera Bray solicitors and they have always been professional, prompt and courteous when handling any of our cases.”Mayur N

“David Berridge and Gita Patel have provided me with exceptional service over the past few years which I am very thankful for. It has taken a long time to resolve my issue, through no fault of ours, and with David’s experience and professionalism, his guidance and support, things were eventually worked out. Whenever David was on leave Gita was always there so that everything was ready for his return for our case to continue. Thank you to both of you. I will definitely recommend your services should someone I know require them.”GC
