GAD Legal 5 Star once more... I have been using GAD conveyancing department (in particular Harry Friend) to look after my property portfolio for many years now. However… This time I need to give a special thank you to Victoria Evans in their mediation department. Victoria helped me with a dispute I was having that was causing me considerable stress. Victoria maintained the five star service I have grown accustomed to at GAD. I will not hesitate to instruct this solicitors in any legal matter I have in the future.
The service was outstanding. The communication was flawless and I felt in very good hands throughout the entire process. Well done!

As a new client to Gregory Abrams Davidson solicitors, I was impressed by this firm. I was experiencing problems with regards to purchasing a property and I was looking for a very experienced solicitor to help me and I chose this firm . I made an appointment to see them and was advised by Harry Friend, one of the senior solicitors. He handled my case and solved all the problems and I was finally able to move into the property.
What I liked about this firm is the way they run the business; I had no problem getting through by phone and if I did leave a message, Harry would always call me back within a short timeframe. True professionals, reasonable costs, keep up the good work! Thanks again.
