Positive: The responses from C.M., Rebecca, and Robert highlighted the exceptional service provided by Charmain and CCS Lawyers, including her professionalism, personal touch, and ability to deliver results.
Negative: The main issue mentioned was the lack of communication and follow-up from the solicitors, particularly from Charmaine, who came across as arrogant and rude to Katie Jones.

Disappointing Experience

The first review from Katie Jones is a negative one, giving the solicitors only 1 star. According to Katie, the solicitors failed to follow up, took days to respond to emails, and one of the staff members, Charmaine, was arrogant and rude. Katie found Charmaine's behavior to be exceptional in its unpleasantness, stating that she has never experienced anything like it in her 12 years of working in real estate.

Exceptional Service

On the other hand, the next three reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Authors C.M., Rebecca Fulford, and Robert Needham all gave the solicitors 5-star ratings. They praised Charmain's exceptional service, her ability to understand and deliver on complex situations, and her professionalism. C.M. noted that Charmain's personal touch and comprehensive advice made a stressful process much more manageable. Rebecca found Charmain to be professional, easy to talk to, and put her at ease. Robert appreciated the regular updates on the progress of his claim.
