I am absolutely thrilled with the seamless service Bonallack and Bishop have provided me with. Liam Oliver, in particular was outstanding with his knowledge, guidance, support and professionalism throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of receiving support from Aruj Aman during the sale of our previous home and purchase of our new home. Aruj was super helpful, friendly and explained things to us thoroughly. Aruj worked on our case as quickly as possible and was able to meet very quick timelines for us (which we are super grateful for). Whenever we move home next (hopefully not for a while) we would not hesitate to reach out to Aruj for support again.

They assisted me with a lease extension and sale of a property. I had some minor delays with the onboarding but, all in all, the service was very good and all was completed on time. Their fees are also competitive, so I would definitely recommend their services.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Bonallack & Bishop, especially with Victoria Baker.
From the moment I spoke with her, I felt at ease thanks to her warm and friendly approach. She was clear, informative, and made sure I fully understood everything, providing guidance I could trust.
Although I havent yet moved forward beyond our initial conversation, I can confidently say that Victoria is the first person I would turn to for any legal assistance in the future. The confidence she instilled in me was immediate, and I truly appreciated her support.

Great experience with these solicitors. They managed my lease extension for me, and were very helpful throughout. I worked mainly with Greta Whitaker, who was fantastic. She kept me completely informed the whole way through the process, handled everything well, and always made everything very clear for me. I would definitely use Greta and the Bonallack & Bishop team again.

Simon Speed was excellent and re-assuring to ourselves, when renewing our wills, which were in need of a comprehensive review, as they were almost twenty years old.
He gave sound advice at all times and allowed ourselves to become confident that this ultimate decision had been handled both professionally and sensitively.

Dinshaw Printer quickly became a trusted adviser that helped me through some difficult times. His knowledge of the divorce process and the effects of the military pension are exceptional. Honest, direct and always putting my best interests as a priority. I hope my friends never have to go through a divorce, but if they do I would absolutely recommend Dinshaw with Bonallack & Bishop Solicitors..

I had been looked after by Jake Holmes at Bonallack and Bishop for over a year. I originally had difficulties with a previous firm who had made a mess of the legal process with regard to a lease extension. I have been delighted by the advice and processes implemented by Jake and his colleagues (as the firm were excellent at covering his work when he was on leave). Throughout all phases, of the long process, I felt confident I was getting the best advice and was well supported with decisions. Jake was very responsive and easily approachable to talk through and action issues as needed. Jake was also considerate, diligent, mindful and thorough. I would highly recommend using this firm for legal assistance.
