What our clients say about us

"I was extremely impressed with the Judge & Priestley conveyancing team during my recent house sale.  I found Madelaine Henwood particularly helpful.  Her advice was well researched and very thorough.  I have wholeheartedly recommended Madelaine and Judge & Priestley to all my friends and family."
Mr B Smith 

----------

“Madelaine Henwood has represented Applecross Homes and Building Reputations for some years now and of all the professional service partners we work with, hers is the one we continue to value most highly. Madelaine works extremely hard, is efficient and has a real ‘can-do' attitude, something sadly often lacking these days. Indeed, I can think of a number of occasions where we've set her highly unusual challenges to structure complex deals involving a number of parties and every time she has come up trumps and I have no doubt that some of these deals would not have otherwise come to fruition. Perhaps most importantly of all, when I call, I get put through to Madelaine, not a secretarial gate-keeper or an answer phone. In a world that is as fast moving as ours, that's a vital component to successful property development and is the last in a long line of reasons why, if I had the option, I'd employ her myself!”

“I had been using the services of Judge & Priestley's conveyancing department for some years when I found myself in a situation that required the services of an employment lawyer and as a result was recommended partner, Mark Oakley.

My difficulty at work was a particularly distressing ordeal and so I was delighted to find that I had not only engaged the services of a forward-thinking organisation well respected in my community, but in so doing, I had found a lawyer with a high level of expertise and extraordinary sensitivity who conducted the case on my behalf with enthusiasm providing at all times the very best advice and engaging on my behalf the very best barrister, which all resulted in justice having been done.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Oakley and his whole team at Judge and Priestley most sincerely for their absolute, resolute, and pro-active expertise and support throughout my case and I shall continue to recommend their services to both employers and employees within our business community in Bromley.”

“I have always found J&P helpful, friendly, easy to deal with, and have always answered any queries I may have on any legal aspect of our work, easy to contact. All our referrals are now sent electrconically and this has saved time. We have access to their web site which is definitely an added bonus as myself and my team can track any arrears cases easily.”
Carol Breach

“Now I have been in business for 6 months and my feet are now touching the ground, I would like to say a big thank you for taking me on as your client and for all the work you have done on my behalf. I do not believe anyone else would have been as thorough, fast, efficient or patient as yourself and your helpful team!”

“Judge & Priestley's debt recovery process support the needs of our business through both its efficiency and cost effectiveness. Debts are processed with the mimimum of fuss through to judgement and enforcement with positive collection levels.”
Tony Bartlett

“By working with Judge & Priestley, I have seen a marked increase in our debt recovery levels. The staff we deal with are friendly, efficient and accommodating. The debt management system they use also allows us to monitor our cases as they progress. I consider this to be such an invaluable tool.”
Chris Richardson

“Just wanted to thank you and your team so much for all your efforts. We are very lucky to have such a highly motivated and professional team working with us on behalf of the people of Southwark. So thank you.”

“Sweet & Maxwell, have been working with J&P for a number of years to collect our outstanding debt. We regard J&P as an integral part of our collection process and due to the nature of our business we have to be sure that our representatives act with the highest integrity and deal with each case on an individual basis.

We find that J&P always operate to the highest standards and they are always mindful of our future customer relations requesting payment in a way that does not over offend or alienate our clients. When legal action is required to recover a debt we have full confidence in the legal team to act for us.

I would recommend J&P to anyone who needs a little help in collecting those stubborn debts. They are highly professional, helpful and always act with integrity. Whether you are a large company or a small operation, J&P can tailor their services to assist your business in debt collection.”
Helen Dicker
Sweet & Maxwell
