Partner and Civil Litigation Solicitor, Hayley Garnett said:
"We opened our Driffield office in 2016 and to begin with it was very much a satellite office, with our solicitors travelling to see clients rather than being based here. However, over the last few years we've gradually expanded and the workload has increased along with the population of Driffield. We now have a full time Private Client Solicitor, Conveyancer and two Agricultural and Commercial Property Solicitors."
"Anthony Matthew has joined us from another national legal practice, bringing a wealth of conveyancing knowledge and we are already having really good reviews and client feedback."
"Laura Thorne was one of our Trainee Solicitors that recently qualified and did her training with Philip Taylor, who has always worked in large city firms. He is one of the best legal brains in the area and we are really lucky to have him and Laura has the benefit of all that knowledge, which helped her qualify last month."
"Generally, there aren't enough Solicitors in the area and trying to find good staff is really difficult and especially to attract them to this area. We have been really lucky that the people we have found recently have been excellent and have a wealth of experience to deal with our increasing client base with lots of new customers and lots of new enquiries."
