Jordan solicitors provided us with an excellent level of service when we were handling our move. A few years later we decided to get our wills done with the same firm due to the level that the work is done here. And again, we were met with the same level of both professionalism and friendliness and would recommend Jordan solicitors to anyone I speak to.

Sophie Costello
Brilliant. This was one of my best, if not the best, experience I had lately in receiving a service (in this case a will). Sophie was brilliant from the moment we met until the very last second when the whole process was successfully completed. Professional, concise, explained all matters in detail, patient, excellent in communicating - 100% brilliant!

Sophie Costello
From my very first inquiry the knowledge and professionalism shown by Sophie was second to none, everything explained precisely and concisely as it is rather an emotional experience preparing a final will. I was hugely and forever grateful to the emphatic way I was treated, my family and I shall be forever grateful. All my legal issues from now on will be handled by the very professional and capable Sophie.

Once we had made the relevant decisions, our draft wills were produced promptly, with the opportunity to review and make minor amendments before the final version was signed today. Any queries were answered quickly, whether in person, or by phone or email. All in all, a very professional and friendly service, with the final cost the same as our original quote. Highly recommended!

Sophie Costello
Sophie provided a polite efficient service

Sophie Costello
My wife and I wanted to update our wills. We chose Jordans in Wetherby rather than our original Harrogate solicitors based on positive online reviews and because they seemed to offer better value for money. Sophie Costello took time to fully understand our situation and advised us on potential solutions, explaining them in ways we could readily understand rather than sticking to "legalese".

Sophie Costello
Sophie was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend her as a solicitor and a friendly person.

Sophie Costello
I found Sophie very easy to talk to, was patient and didn’t mind repeating things if I didn’t understand straight away. Would certainly recommend Jordans.

Sophie Costello
All very well organised and systematic. Great clarity and a high level of patience with her clients! All dealings were conducted in an informal but comprehensive fashion. Everything was good.

Sophie Costello
Complete satisfaction with all aspects of the professional and friendly manner in which Sophie conducted in the preparation of legal affairs. I would recommended Jordans Solicitors.

Sophie is very good at dealing with elderly people, she has a nice way about her... I am 84 years old and was a bit nervous about seeing a Solicitor but Sophie put me at ease straight away.

Sophie Costello
Arranging the meeting was very easy & efficient. The meeting was both friendly and courteous, everything was explained and our questions answered. The production of documentation was on time and we were proactively chased up on a delay to our return of signed documents, which we found good, as in our experience other solicitors in other practices have not been proactive. We now await the LPAs being registered.

Sophie Costello
I think you have done an excellent job!

Sophie Costello
Very approachable and very efficient!
