Client Feedback

Personal Testimonial

Mr K

I wholeheartedly recommend Myerson and in particular, Laura Higgins who proactively and tirelessly worked through the sale of a property on my behalf.

Personal Testimonial

Dawn Jackson

From start to finish, Laura was incredibly thorough, friendly, and supportive. She took the time to explain every stage of the process clearly, ensuring I had a solid understanding of what was happening at each step. Her approachable nature made me feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how small, and she always responded promptly with clear, thoughtful answers.

Personal Testimonial

Mr T

Both Laura, who handled the sale of my house, and Olivia, who dealt with the purchase, kept us informed of what was going on. I know they both faced problems and frustrations during the process, but even with a late exchange of contacts, we completed on the desired date. Altogether, we were happy with your service (having not moved for 50 years, we were very out of touch with conveyancing).

Personal Testimonial

Mr A

Laura was brilliant from start to finish with our sale and purchase. In what was no doubt a busy and stressful time for everyone, Laura remained reachable and kept us regularly updated with progress from both sides, and worked hard to get it over the line before the SDLT changes. We’d definitely use Laura again!

Personal Testimonial

Ms Anne

Thanks to Laura and Josie for a smooth transaction. Good and proactive communication throughout.

Personal Testimonial

Mr R

From start to finish, Laura Higgins and her team were excellent. Quick to reply to everything and handled delicate negotiations professionally and skillfully to bring about a good sale of the property. We will return to Myerson to get our wills update too.

Personal Testimonial

Mr Mulroy

Laura, Rose and the rest of the team at Myerson helped my house purchase go smoothly and were communicative throughout the whole process.

Personal Testimonial

Mr Jones

We recently used Laura for what was a tricky house chain with two sales and a joint purchase, and Laura managed the whole thing so well, with her assistant Rose assisting. Laura is efficient, knows her stuff, and is to the point, which is exactly what is required in such legal matters. Thank you so much for making this tricky transaction happen. Our dream country house is now a reality.

Personal Testimonial

Ms C

We had the pleasure of working with Laura during our recent house purchase, and she was outstanding throughout the entire process. From the beginning, Laura kept us fully informed and made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable.Thanks to her hard work, the purchase completed without any complications. I’m genuinely grateful for her assistance and would highly recommend Laura to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor.

Personal Testimonial

Myerson and our solicitor, Laura Higgins, were so supportive and diligent in helping us buy our first home. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for legal help. Throughout the process, they offered clear, prompt and regular advice and helped everything run as smoothly as possible. If we’re ever looking to move again, we will certainly be using Myerson’s services!

Personal Testimonial

I can highly recommend the service I received from Laura Higgins, a solicitor at Myerson Solicitors. She was so thorough, professional and efficient and communicated with me at every step of the process. Her emails were very clearly written and easy to follow and understand. Excellent service - I will be using her again and have recommended her to friends, colleagues and family already.
