What Our Clients Say
I wanted to say thank you for your support and professionalism throughout this process. I know this has not been an easy settlement and I wanted to also thank you for your counsel.
I wanted to express my gratitude for how you handled my case and for the eventual outcome.
Family Law Client of Anthony Jones
Many thanks for supporting me through the tough process since August last year and for liaising with my ex-partner until the end. Again, many thank yous. You have been a rock for me, and I can't even put into words how much you have helped me leave this unfortunate situation and keep going forward. I appreciate your matter-of-factly, get-to-the-point support; I wouldn't have made it here if it wasn't for you guys
Family Law Client of Anthony Jones
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you both for all your help and support and especially at points of these past few weeks where I've been in complete despair at the situation. It's been a difficult few years but I'm finally in a position where I can move on in life and this is down to your advice and work.
Family Law Client- L Blackburn
Both me and Damian would like to say thankyou so much for all your help and support over the last 12 months, I cant believe this has now come to an end and hopefully now we can start to move forward.
Thanks so much Damian and Louise
Damian and Louise
A credit to James O’Donnell and his team for working effortlessly in ensuring a smooth transaction, their attention to detail when it comes to contract negotiation was impressive! Whilst keeping me informed throughout all stages of the purchasing process.
Scott Bentley
James O'Donnell has been our first-choice solicitor throughout our 20 years in business, guiding us through two property sales and several commercial lease negotiations as well as more recently a company share sale. He and his team have always dealt with these matters efficiently and with a reassuringly high level of expertise. We would have no hesitation in recommending O'Donnell Solicitors to any business owner seeking legal assistance
Tim Clarkson
JF and I would like to extend our gratitude for the work you undertook on our behalf in recent months. We realise that these matters are 'all in a day's work' for you, but for us, at times, if felt insurmountable. Your professionalism, knowledge and the alacrity with which you dealt with matters provided clarity and made a real difference to us. We appreciated both your directness and approachability.
Thank you.
MF & JF
Great, efficient service. Queries dealt with promptly and properly. Overall a smooth process.
Isaac Dale
I was delighted with the service received by O'Donnell Solicitors. Having been unable to acquire the services of a solicitor we had used previously I was quite worried about the prospect of having to find somebody new. However, the team came highly recommended and now I know why. They provided high levels of support and guidance and were responsive and professional in their approach. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I really felt I could trust the team.
Charlotte Hurst
Professional service. Honest work. Nice and open people.
