Whether our clients use us for residential property, commercial property, corporate law or litigation, we aim to provide the highest quality of service. Here’s what our clients say about us:
“Michael Mulcare, a consultant working for SO Legal, represented me relating to an unfortunate issue involving my motor car insurance. His helpful and professional work produced an excellent outcome and saved me over £2000 relating to a claim. I would confidently recommend his services to others who may not understand the legalities of motor car insurance policy wording and the claims procedure.”
Testimonial for Michael Mulcare from Mrs K Nash.
“Michael was quick to respond when I had a legal issue, his honesty and his guidance managed to steer me though what could have become a major issue. His legal knowledge combined with a pragmatic approach enabled both sides find an acceptable solution that allowed the matter to be resolved with both sides feeling that they had not lost. I would strongly recommend Michael in a time of need.”
Testimonial for Michael Mulcare from AM Company Director.
“I have recently used SO Legal, and quite frankly, I wouldn’t use anyone else now. Hemmat was incredible!! He was thorough and extremely professional. Our purchase presented various problems, and it was so nice to be able to call him at any point and talk it through, knowing that he was going to achieve the best outcomes. After using various other solicitors in the past, it was a real eye-opener to see what different level of service you get. Most don’t call back or take ages to do anything or chase etc., and actually, my experience with SO Legal couldn’t have been any further from that. Great job, thank you so much! I will recommend you to everyone!”
Testimonial for Hemmat Ovaisi following a property transaction.
“SO Legal made our first-time buying experience an absolute pleasure! Hemmat Ovaisi kept us informed all the way and answered any questions or queries we had, big or small. We will be using them for all future property. Hemmat is a credit to the company and has made our experience stress free and enjoyable! Very happy first-time buyers!”
Testimonial for Hemmat Ovaisi following a property transaction.
“I can highly recommend SO Legal as a solicitor, on the basis of successfully selling my house with them. They combine a high level of professionalism with a personal touch. Solicitor Francesca Lyons was quick to answer queries and went the extra mile to push the house sale forward, even with a pandemic going on and the need to work from home. With a large team and offices around Sussex, I felt in safe hands with SO Legal.”
Testimonial for Francesca Lyons from Darren Osborne following a property transaction.
“Marco dealt with my move and he was extremely good at his job. I couldn’t recommend SO Legal and Marco enough. You only realise how important your solicitors are when you deal with the rest of the chain – and they were rubbish! Thank you, Marco.”
Testimonial for Marco Difato from Ashley Tedham following a residential property transaction.
“Seema has been nothing short of fantastic in our transaction, which has been incredibly complex. First and foremost, Seema is highly communicative. She has taken time on her late evenings, and even her weekends to provide updates, and also to talk through several issues providing us with invaluable advice, and supporting the resolution of certain matters. Secondly, she has managed the line with several difficult stakeholders, from the buyer’s solicitors who have been difficult to deal with across the transaction, as well as managing the temperament of the estate agent. Thirdly, Seema has undertaken additional requests for us, into looking into matters, and helping us to find the best solution to put forward (whether this be an additional policy) or helping to structure an alternative proposal.
“Seema has truly been an asset, and whilst the transaction has not completed and we have had our challenges, Seema has made this process far easier than it could have been and this is because she is incredibly diligent, thoughtful and communicates to us well as a client. We would have no hesitation recommending her or your firm to our network, and we are already planning to use Seema and your services again for future transactions across the family.”
Testimonial for Seema Anant from Nikhilkumar Adhia following a property transaction.
“Joe Kennedy has been a fantastic breath of fresh air to work with. Despite only trading since 2018, I’ve already grown increasingly dismayed by the awful lack of urgency and commercial attention to detail that so many other solicitors have displayed when dealing with us. Luckily, Joe has bucked that trend. He is super responsive, commercially minded and attentive to detail and wraps that up in a friendly and forthcoming demeanour. He is all too ready to deal with requests as they come in and seems genuinely to want to impress his clients and estate agents. I’m pleased to be aligned with Joe and his team and look forward to more of the same in 2021.”
Testimonial for Joe Kennedy from James Bush, Sales and Marketing Director at Homed:In.
“I would like to personally thanks the SO Legal team for their assistance with this acquisition. Getting this deal over the line in such a short period of time without compromising things was critical and SO guided us with exemplary expertise.”
Testimonial for our corporate team from Chris McGowan, Managing Director at Topsail Insurance.
“Thank you again, your involvement has been invaluable. I look forward to working with you on many more contracts!”

Feedback for Chris Hoadley in our residential property team.
“This was one of the smoothest transactions we’ve gone through and no doubt in large part to your professionalism, efficiency and really good communications.”
Client feedback for Jamie Salvidge and our residential property team.
“Thanks to Chris Hoadley who was my first contact an also to Hemmat Ovaisi who I must say was excellent. Hemmat kept us informed of what was going on all the way and anything I asked him he never delayed in answering me, which we were grateful for.”

Thomas Webster’s feedback for Hemmat Ovaisi following a property transaction.
“Katie Handoll provided an outstanding service from start to finish for both our sale and purchase. Our transaction was far from straightforward, but Katie took the stress away and kept us informed throughout and responded quickly to our queries all the way through which made such a difference (particularly as other solicitors in the chain were far less responsive – our estate agent also had nothing but praise for Katie).. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katie or SO Legal for any conveyancing needs – we also had dealings with Sebastian during the process who was also brilliant.”
Feedback for Conveyancing Executive, Katie Handoll following a property transaction.
“SO Legal acted on our behalf on a judicial review matter involving our landlord, the local city council. From the very first phone call we felt reassured by Michael’s calm demeanour, detailed knowledge and experience of litigation matters. Michael digested a vast amount of contextual information, quickly formulated a cohesive strategy and then crafted a hard hitting letter before action to the council. The city council revoked their earlier decision within 14 days of receiving this letter and we can’t recommend Michael Mulcare and SO Legal highly enough.”
Mr N Childs, Director Childcare 360 Ltd
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help. I thank you for that human touch that you brought and your perseverance in making sure everything went through.”
Feedback for Trainee Solicitor, Sebastian Hale-Smith following a property transaction.
“We purchased a house and Katie Handoll was our solicitor. She is so professional, honest and efficient. She replied so fast to any questions and really clearly. We are really happy about her job, and we recommend SO Legal to anyone.”
Feedback for Conveyancing Executive, Katie Handoll following a property transaction.
“House selling and purchasing is always a trying time. All you can ask from your solicitor is that they are readily available, answer your questions clearly and intelligently, and respond to all parties in a timely and efficient manner. Despite the current COVID difficulties Katie Handoll was magnificent in all of the above.”
Feedback for Conveyancing Executive, Katie Handoll following a property transaction.

Alison Abel from Bairstow Eves Estate Agents praises Ashleigh Evans
“Thank you for all your hard work in pursuing my personal injury claim, I am delighted with the outcome, and truthfully surprised at the speed with which you have brought my claim to such a very satisfactory conclusion, the compensation package you negotiated was considerably more than I had envisaged.
I would also like to thank you for your help, advice and commitment, and I am grateful, that at a very difficult period for me, you took the time to take me carefully through the processes involved, keeping me informed at each stage, which helped ease the concerns I had.”
Feedback for Michael Mulcare following a personal injury claim from Mr RS
“I only have good words to say about SO Legal. My first time using them for negotiating a commercial lease has been a very pleasant experience. James, the solicitor we worked with was responsive, professional and easy to work with. They do not overcharge and they did their best to accommodate what I needed. Would 100% recommend to anyone negotiating or renegotiating commercial leases.”
James Bryman recommends Commercial Solicitor, James Halpin
“I have just completed a property purchase using SO Legal. I would highly recommend as everything went smoothly and I was kept up to date with the progress throughout the process. I would use SO Legal again.”
Garry Markey
“My partner approached Michael Mulcare asking if he could assist me with a high value personal injury claim. During the following year, Mr. Mulcare has been a superb support to myself and my partner, leading us through the labyrinth of legalese until a successful outcome was reached, with a final settlement under two thirds of the initial demand.
As I am elderly with multiple medical conditions and seriously ill, Michael and his team removed as much stress as possible during the Joint Settlement Meeting negotiations, for which I was extremely grateful.
At all times Michael kept me fully updated with all situations as the claim progressed, talking to me on the phone at length on one occasion, which was extremely helpful.
I have no hesitation in recommending Michael as an understanding, helpful, cool-headed and wise solicitor, who will deal with difficult personal matters, and I am deeply grateful for everything he has done in supporting both my partner and me through a very difficult and distressing time.”

Would highly recommend and most definitely use again.”

Seema in particular has been outstanding and I cannot recommend her enough. She has helped make a house sale that was previously very stressful, a breeze. We’ve never had to worry- no chasing, no jargon. We will not hesitate to recommend SO legal in future and they will be our first point of contact for any future conveyancing needs.”
