Testimonials

What people say about us

I first used Timms in the 1960's they still have the same care and commitment as before, I was very satisfied. So sorry I can't suggest anything to help improve the service.

Adrian Rose was absolutely fantastic throughout my divorce proceedings. He made a very painful and difficult situation as easy as it could be. He was empathetic, highly professional, and incredibly efficient. I cannot recommend him or Timms highly enough.

I must thank Sophie Wildsmith in particular for all her help. She has handled the process in the most calm and professional manner throughout the sale process. Both she and Katie Holmes have made it all straightforward during all the stages right up to completion

Timms acted on my behalf for a personal injury claim and have been fantastic. Natasha and Haley have both dealt with my claim and have both been brilliant throughout. Really happy with the service, having used solicitors in the past this is by far the best experience I've had. I can't thank them enough for their hard work, thank you so much!

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Jessica Barnett for all her support through the process of my divorce. Jessica was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very supportive. I would highly recommend Jessica and she is an asset to Timms

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the staff at Timms solicitors including Julie Stewart, Lisa Newbold and Emily Facer for handling the sale of my property, the service that they provide is excellent as I was kept informed at every stage of the sale, therefore I would highly recommend the team at Timms to anyone that is selling or buying a property.

Timms came recommended to me, and in turn I highly recommend them. I used them for the sale of my house. Their communication was clear, the team were available to answer questions, and importantly they moved swiftly during the process. I would not hesitate to work with their team again.

I have received outstanding support and personal attention from both Adrian Rose and the conveyancing team during a prolonged divorce, financial settlement and conveyancing process. At all times, I have been kept well informed and above all reassured that I am in safe hands. I could not have endured the process without them. A special mention must also go to Sharron Ganley and Morgan Dye for their excellent and prompt communications. Thank you Timms.

We received a professional, informed and personable service from Sara Hilliard whose advice was invaluable during the drafting of our Wills. It made, what could be a difficult process, smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend Sara.
