Testimonials

They provide a personal service with a team of very professional and experienced staff. They are knowledgeable in all areas of housing delivery and provide a high level of service throughout. Communication throughout any project is excellent and they understand the needs of the business and what we need to achieve. All staff are friendly, approachable and able to talk through complex legal issues in a way which is easy to understand and removes the jargon.

This practice is unique because of the personal attention all of the solicitors give. All solicitors at this practice pick up their phones to not only discuss any problems, but they also answer their phones and call you back. They are efficient in all of their responses – his practice is the only legal practice I have worked with where I have never felt frustrated and feel that they provide an excellent customer experience. The customer matters to Perrins.

They are all client focused – the customer service is second to none and they do not write unnecessary letters or emails to push the cost up.
