Testimonials
"Thank you both for all your efforts...It has been a pleasure dealing with Patrick who we feel has done a great job. I have learnt a lot from this process but pleased we can now relax."
Trish Mayor & Nigel Mann, Teignmouth
"We have been working with Patrick Nicholls and Paul Dyson for a number of months on what we thought was a rather complicated business transaction between multiple companies. Patrick and Paul were always available throughout the process, on the phone and email, with sound, reassuring advice. They were very good at putting legal terminology into simple, plain English for us to understand - turning a complicated transaction into a much simpler process. We cannot recommend Scott Richards Solicitors highly enough and will be back for all our future needs!"
Adam Carter, Director at Vanaways
