We do not operate on a call centre basis. We will never place you in a telephone queue or greet you with a pre-recorded message asking you to “select your option from a list”.

Our approach is to treat you as an individual who needs advice on important issues concerning events in your life and not to merely sell you legal products that you do not require, which increasingly occurs with other legal providers.

It is not our policy to pay for the introduction of work (referral fees) and believe that our work should come from genuine referrals arising from satisfying our clients and professional contacts. This ensures our ability to represent your best interests at all times independently of anyone else who may have referred you to us.

We have been awarded The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) and Family Law accreditations. In addition we are members of Solicitors for the Elderly.

Flat sale 5Star review I contacted Robert re the sale of a flat. I had lost 3 buyers due to the inactivity of my previous solicitor and had a thousand questions for him! Robert was helpful and very professional throughout the sale process - and also very reactive, which was a breath of fresh air. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use him again in future.

Review From Verified Client 5Star review What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a Solicitor?Recently, my husband and I required a solicitor to help us in the purchase of a new property. We were not able to commission our usual firm, as there was a conflict of interest with our vendor using the same solicitor; so we asked our Estate Agent if there was anyone he could recommend, and he gave us two names. We checked out both solicitors websites and made the final choice to go with Mr Robert Selwyn LLB (Hons); on the basis that his details recorded (among many other subjects) that he worked for the elderly and incapacitated. My husband had been chronically ill for some years and we were both impressed to find this an extra feature of Mr Selwyn's work on his webpage.How did Robert Selwyn help you?We were not to be disappointed, Mr Selwyn came to our home for the first appointment, put us both at our ease, talked us through the up to date procedures of buying and selling a property and the up dating of our Wills; he was very patient and kind and most helpful in answering our endless list of questions. All future appointments were held in his office, where he was just as attentive, polite and courteous and was always willing to explain the finer details.What is your current situation? Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?Mr Selwyn made the whole process so much easier for us with his friendly manner, always keeping us informed throughout and treating us as individuals and not just a couple purchasing a property!.What could they have done better?To be honest in this instance, under all the given circumstances, I don't think Mr Selwyn could have done anything better (we were always well informed and listened to). I shall certainly be commissioning his services again in the future.
