I can't praise Kay enough for the two conveyancing cases she handled for me. She always updated me as soon as there was more information and was proactive in following up with the mortgage company and other solicitors (which she had to do lots). Kay couldn't have been more helpful and patient... Well above what I expected. She was very reassuring to talk to and knows what she's talking about. Will definitely use David Gray again.

Many thanks to Anne at David Gray Solucitors for her help with buying and selling a house on my Mum’s behalf. Given I was using a Power of Attorney and trying to do this from overseas I was unsure if anyone would be able to help, but Anne and her team made it all so easy. Having struggled in the past to get solicitors to respond to me I was very impressed by how responsive and proactive Anne was in handling my case. She was both friendly and professional, and I have complete confidence in her. I strongly recommend David Gray Solicitors to anyone looking for legal help.

Client testimonial about Emma Silburn - Mental Health

It's really only in hindsight that I fully appreciate the support Amy gave me through the whole rather protracted business. Unsurprisingly perhaps, there were times when feelings of shame, regret, of having let everyone down, in particular my family, turned towards self-loathing. But Amy, by just sitting having a chat while we were waiting around, helped me hang on to some semblance of a positive sense of who I am. I am immensely grateful to her.
