'Arwel could not have done more for us as first time buyers. He was patient, thorough and very responsive, even when our first house buying attempt fell through due to the sellers issues, he continued to work tirelessly to get us our amazing house, always very professional. Could not thank him enough and Gilbert Davies & Partners should be very proud to have him'

D. Smith

‘I have used Gilbert Davies Solicitors to act for me as I was getting divorced. Louise Harding and her staff took my case on and acted for me over approximately 3 years. I found Louise Harding to be prompt and efficient meeting all expected timelines. Her knowledge and sound advice was instrumental in getting fair results during a very difficult time for me and my children. I would be very happy to recommend Louise Harding and her Company to act for anyone who is in need of such services’
