What his clients say

Richard and his team have assisted me in a very acrimonious dispute with my landlord over the last two years. There was a complicated dispute with my landlord about the assignment of the lease to my business. My former landlord took a very hard line approach to the matter and Richard and his team demonstrated both skill and tenacity in navigating us to a successful outcome in the County Court and the landlord’s appeal to the High Court.

In 2019 we found ourselves in need of a Solicitor. JMW were recommended to us and they do not disappoint. We were appointed Senior Associate Richard Glover and Solicitor Mehek Ubeid. They supported us every step of the way during a very stressful time. Their professionalism and care was outstanding. We thank them for making a very unpleasant time in our lives easier and would urge anyone in need of legal advice to seek the services of JMW Solicitors.

Our usual solicitor informed us that they were not able to assist us with a land dispute and recommended JMW to us. We have found JMW to be a fantastic firm to deal with. We would both like to say a massive thank you to Richard Glover for the work he has carried out on our behalf. Richard was thorough, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. He has a great deal of patience and dealt with all our worries and concerns with the utmost professionalism and helped navigate us on the right path to get the best result for us. We found communication with Richard and the other employees of JMW to be easy and everyone was friendly and helpful.

I found that Richard Glover and Jess Stanway were quick to grasp the measure of my situation and were exceptionally professional in their original advice and then their efficient execution of the necessary process required. Their intellectual understanding of a complex matter was exceptional, their communication was clear, timely and was helpful in navigating a difficult situation. I would highly recommend Richard, Jess and their team, on a personal note, they were a pleasure to deal with.
