I've never bought a lawyer flowers and fizz before, but felt compelled to do so for Colleen Gostick after she successfully concluded a hugely complex and deeply frustrating leasehold transaction. After a period of consultation to work out what our objectives were, Colleen consistently and steadily worked towards that goal. Throughout the process she was always available to talk and did a fantastic job of keeping most of the stressful elements of the deal away from my daily life. Always professional, dedicated and charming, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and I couldn't recommend her more highly to prospective clients.

After a very sudden separation, under very unexpected and difficult circumstances, I didn't know whether I would see my children again and had no idea how to proceed. My search for legal advice led me to Sellina at Buckles, whom I chose thanks to her great reputation. My parents and I went to meet with Sellina for an initial meeting where she immediately made us all feel at ease. We were given clear, honest advice as to what we needed to do, and I found Sellina to be upfront and 'to the point' when it came to her counsel; something which has continued throughout the time she has represented me. Over the course of four years, Sellina helped every step of the way, even with the many curveballs that were thrown at us. Sellina not only provided excellent representation herself, but her recommendations for barristers were second to none also. Sellina was not only a consummate professional throughout proceedings, but took the time to offer emotional support also and truly went above and beyond the call of her duty. I can say without doubt that choosing Sellina was the best decision I could have made and it is thanks to her that I can now move on and enjoy a happy life with my children living under my roof.

We were asked by our fiscal representative in Spain to arrange an urgent Spanish Power of Attorney, and we approached Buckles for help. Overall, a very good service which meant we were able to complete our sale on time. Mr Phillips was very polite, and the Notary he picked to witness our signatures was very good too
