I used the services of Jess and the team at Laker Legal as a first time buyer looking for properties to buy, near and around Bath.
Jess was fantastic, in her communication during the process as well as her knowledge and ability during the conveyancing process. She helped me make informed decisions and ultimately find and purchase a wonderful home near Bath. Jess is adept at spotting potential issues during a purchase that I believe others may not.
She clearly excels at her craft and you will be in safe hands should you use her services too.
I can highly recommend John Hirst at Laker Legal solicitors in Lancaster. He was superb from start to finish dealing with a very complex child arrangements case for me. A really decent guy and an excellent family law solicitor who genuinely cares about his clients. John was fully up to speed with my case at all times and we got the outcome we wanted.
Jessica Blacow and Laker Legal team were calm, assured and dedicated to getting the job done. If you are selling/buying a new home then Laker Legal are well worth considering.
Jess Blacow is great!
I used Jess for the sale and purchase of an onward property and I’m grateful for all her help and assistance along the way. I recommend Jess and would be very happy to use her again in the future.
Thank you!
“A devastating event brought us to call on Laker Legal. We were put in touch with Mr John Hirst, and from the first Moment we spoke to him we knew everything was going to be ok. We were dealing with a false accusation on my Son and had no idea on how to prove he was not at fault. Mr John Hirst, was always on the end of the Phone or Email, Kept in touch with us 100% of the time, and the support we received took so much pain off our family. We could never have coped if we didn’t have someone like Mr Hirst fighting in our corner. All i can say is Thank you so much for everything you did for us. Would recommend Laker Legal to anyone for any matter. They were so Professional and if we are ever in need of a Solicitor service in the future for any matter i know who we would call. Thank You again for everything”

“I used Laker Legal for one of their fixed fee services. Their rate was significantly more competitive than any other quotes I had, in some cases half as much. I was a little sceptical about the level of service I might receive, however I found them to be very professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. They were always there to help and guide me through next steps. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.”
Mr K – Poole
“I am very pleased with Laker Legal firm, my Solicitor John Hirst, was extremely helpful throughout the drawing of my prenuptial agreement. A very professional and knowledgeable approach yet warm, and friendly enough to feel comfortable with in a situation that can be quite uncanny to discuss or uneasy as per say. There was not ‘legal jargon either’, but plain English language, which is appreciated. He also ‘went that extra mile’ to help me understanding ‘legalities’ and he didn’t have to to so, or need to. I will certainly contact them again for other legal matters, hopefully, not prenup related!! Thank you John

Mr L – Salford, Manchester

We know we are not out of the woods yet, but we think we can begin to see daylight, and we are so glad you are representing Beth and Ben.”

Thank you for all of your hard work with this. I have already recommended you to a couple of people I know in England and will continue to do so in the future.”

“Laker Legal are excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They explain processes surrounding your case in simple to understand terms, allowing you to make an informed choice yourself. Whenever I contacted them their response was extremely fast. When my solicitor was away other members of the team were able to deal with my queries and knew exactly what was going on. The prices I was quoted were exactly what I was invoiced for. They are not the cheapest solicitor, but given all of the above they are very good value. Thoroughly recommended”

You gave me hope and a financial result which has enabled me to move forward -Thank you so much!”

Mrs M – Ambleside
“First of all, thank you so much for the way you have handled my case – yes a long drawn-out one caused by the utter incompetence of the Morecambe Bay Hospital Trust. You have guided me with your expert advice, care and brilliant explanations at all times and this I have always appreciated.
All in all, you and Laker Legal have provided a fantastic service and carried out a very professional case against the NHS on my behalf, for this I say a big “thank you”.
I also must say thank you to Richard, John and Stephen for their helpful input and advice whenever I phoned. I’m so glad I chose Laker Legal to represent me in this case. So, once again Duncan, a very big “thank you” for all you have done for me.”

Mrs F – Hull
“I am very satisfied with the levels of service which your firm recently provided to me in respect of my Employment Dispute. You explained everything to me very clearly, and responded to my needs swiftly, keeping me very well informed as the matter progressed. I would certainly recommend your firm to anyone else needing legal advice. I feel that I have certainly received value for money. Thank you once again for your services.”
Mr S – Kent
“My husband and I found ourselves in a huge legal battle over the sale of our property late last year with the opposition being family members, Social Services and the Court of Protection.
From day one of the meeting with Mr. Hirst we were kept up to speed with all the ‘in’s and out’s’ of the process, whether it was a phone call or an email at the end of the day (or night) we did not go to bed without being fully aware of the situation.
Towards the end of the matter we found ourselves with a very crucial deadline that required an immediate answer from the Court of Protection and Mr Hirst was away on holiday. Not a problem…..Mr Hirst was still contactable and managed to meet our deadline whilst abroad.
We could not have been more grateful and it showed us that Mr Hirst was with us every step of the way.
Other great aspects of the service we were given was that of the financial side. There were no hidden extras, invoices were accurate and up to date and this gave us full control over the expenditure and we always knew where we were financially.
Laker Legal is very reasonable in comparison to some firms but do not think for a moment that the service will be anything less than 100%. The service that we received was exceptional and we would certainly return should we ever need it.
The end result for my husband and I was brilliant and the result we wanted. We are now a very happy family in our new home…thanks to Laker Legal Solicitors.”
Mr. & Mrs. W – Lancaster
“Both Graham and myself would like to thank you and your Firm for the excellent and cost effective service we received during a very difficult and stressful time. You made the matter less stressful by your expertise and knowledge.
Your responses to our emails/letters/telephone calls etc was of a very speedy nature and it did not matter what time of day/night it was you always responded immediately and without you we would never have achieved the outcome that has been achieved. I am now enjoying the longed for time with my Son which once more is down to yourself.
Without hesitation we would highly recommend your Firm to our friends and family.”
With very kind regards.
Graham and Sarah
“I started my legal dispute with a high street solicitor but was very unhappy with the service that was provided.
I transferred to Laker Legal under Mr Hirst’s care and was immediately impressed with the service I received. Mr Hirst is very approachable and empathetic whilst at the same time being realistic and extremely business like. The service I received was efficient and effective, emails and telephone calls attended to promptly from as early as 6am to 8pm in the evening including weekends. From the moment Mr Hirst took over my case, he inspired confidence, reduced my anxiety, and a protracted and unpleasant experience in my life was made bearable from that moment until he achieved a very satisfactory outcome for me.
Overall, and on reflection, the service Mr Hirst provided was far superior in all respects to the high street service I started with and provided excellent value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending Laker Legal to potential Clients”

Mr. H – Morecambe
“We have been extremely impressed by your speed and efficiency. The quality of service was second to none and gave us utmost confidence. We will certainly be recommending your services to our friends and family.”
Mr. T – Maidstone
