Ross Pierrepont at the Newark office is really friendly, professional and attentive. I rang on a Monday and he was able to fit me in the next day for a telephone appointment. He kept me in the loop every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble. Within a week Ross had dealt with what was needed. I also took documents in to the Mansfield branch and the staff there were also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Selling a property and the buyers solicitor was awful, Kerry and Kim did a fantastic job dealing with them. Their professionalism stood in stark contrast to the buyers solicitor.

I had a really fantastic experience with you making my will. I was a little nervous about making it but you were really helpful, reassuring and made the whole experience a pleasure.

You recently sent my partner and I a Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and we are formally responding. Your official questions all get a straight 5, but this isn't enough. We recently purchased a David Wilson property having sold our house just weeks before Covid-19 lockdown kicked in. It's fair to say it has not been the best of situations to work with however, Kerry Baldwin is in short, and without doubt an absolute star and a credit to your organisation! We had terrible delays with one thing and another, our mortgage, paperwork and all the other things that go with it, but she really pulled it out of the bag and went above and beyond for us for which we will be forever thankful. As we sat in our cars waiting to leave our belongings in the house we couldn't get the keys for, she called to say, 'go and get your keys'. Without going into all the details or boring you with the emotions it was the best moment and a story we will be telling for a long time! Having someone who communicates and is as honest with you as Kerry was with us, was just what you need when buying a home because for you it IS personal and she really showed us that she cared. I have been through this process before and I have never come across anyone like Kerry, so a massive emotional thank you! Would we recommend you, YES. I have already done so in fact to anyone who will listen. Kerry already knows how thankful we are but I hope this one gets around the office. Kind regards, Emma & Scott

Dear Sarah, I'd just like to say thank you for sorting all my requirements so smoothly during these difficult circumstances. I can sleep a little easier now knowing that my partner is included in my Will.

I just want to say a massive thank you for everything you have done and all the time you have spent on this. This has been a worry for over a year and has really tested me and without your help it would of been a lot harder. Thank you Ross.

Ross Pierrepont was not only professional but he was incredibly understanding and easy to talk to. He didn't once bamboozle me with lawyer speak. He got the job done and genuinely cares about his clients. He's a credit to the industry and Tallents, who already have a first class team. Thank you so much.

Amazing service! Finally in our new home! I can not recommend Kerry and her team highly enough! They went above and beyond what we expected. Use these Solicitors if you want outstanding service. I wouldn’t use anybody else now.

Dear Andy, I wanted to take the opportunity to drop you a line and thank you for your work over the past few years that has enabled me to now ensure a better future for my daughter. There is no doubt that the past three years have been difficult for me personally and at times my emotions and feeling have been something that I have struggled to cope with. Your support and my having the knowledge you were with me on this journey has been a great comfort and reassuring along the way. Your secretaries, the two Catherines, who I have spoken to on many occasions, have carried out a huge amount of work behind the scenes and that is not unrecognised or forgotten by me. The hours of document preparation and other matters that have enabled us to achieve what we have achieved. I would be most appreciate if you would pass on my sincere gratitude and personal thanks to them for all their hard work and professionalism throughout.

Andy, may I personally thank you for your professional conduct at the hearing on Thursday. You blew the barristers we had previously away and were far more professional in front of the judge. How you put the case forward and reaction to claims was outstanding.

Dear Andy, You have been hugely supportive and given me really good advice in times where I’ve doubted if I could keep fighting in the face of all the mud slinging and I would highly recommend you to anyone that needs a solicitor.
