Excellent Services
Reviews from satisfied customers have praised Murlands for providing exceptional services. Clients have commended the firm for its professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Several reviewers have highlighted the friendly and approachable nature of the solicitors, making them feel at ease throughout the process.
Property Law Expertise
Two reviewers have specifically mentioned the firm's expertise in property law. John Caulfield praised Alan Reid's services for a property sale, noting his professionalism and thoroughness. Michael Chandler also appreciated the assistance he received from Sarah Reid during an office move, describing her as "always on hand to answer any questions" and providing "excellent advice".
Disappointing Experiences
However, not all reviewers have had positive experiences. Andrew Han expressed frustration with the firm's selectiveness, stating that they only work with existing clients who bring new business. Tony Boyle's review was hindered by a technical issue with the rating system, but he still intended to give a five-star review.
