5/5 Star review
Dear Beth, I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the support, advice, and hard work you've provided throughout my case. It’s been a challenging and emotionally charged process at times, but your clarity, professionalism, and steady guidance have made a real difference. I’ve felt reassured knowing you were in my corner, and I’m genuinely grateful for the time and effort you’ve put in on my behalf. You haven’t just helped me navigate the legal process — you’ve helped me protect what matters to me the most, my daughter. That’s something I’ll never forget. With heartfelt thanks, Ashley

We used Neves to purchase our first house. Our main communication was with Jackie who was helpful and responsive. We were impressed with the service overall although we did have a few occasions with slow replies/updates. Once we were close to the end of the process the service was very good and very prompt action was taken. As first time buyers, we would’ve benefited from a bit more explanation, however we would still recommend Neves and we would use them again.

I cannot speak highly enough of their service and support during a difficult time. Emma and Lynda were in consistent communication and gave me a lot of confidence. Their empathy and understanding was greatly appreciated and the advice Emily offered was amazing. Highly recommended

I can’t thank Beth at Neves Solicitors enough for the incredible support and representation she provided during my family court case. Her professionalism, compassion, and expertise made all the difference during what was a very stressful and emotional time. From our first meeting, Beth was understanding, honest, and reassuring. She always kept me fully informed and explained everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand. Her calm and confident approach, especially in court, gave me a sense of security that I truly needed. Thanks to Beth’s hard work and dedication, we achieved a fantastic outcome — far better than I had hoped for. I’m so grateful to her and the team at Neves, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth to anyone needing support with family law. She’s absolutely outstanding.
5/5 Star review
I would like to mention my very satisfying experience with Emily Pope of Neves (Luton office). Emily dealt efficiently with my divorce taking careful instructions and guiding me around the pitfalls. Emily was always prompt in communicating and pleasant in dealing with me. I always knew I was in good hands. Neves' charges were extremely reasonable. This overall good experience reinforced the positive impression made by the firm in dealing with the making of my new will which was not straightforward. I gladly recommend Emily and Neves for any matters in which they profess to have expertise.
