"We have found Linda and her office to be incredibly helpful and understanding, they have offered support and advice above and beyond what would be expected. They offer a personal approach, to the point that you consider them friends."

"I have always been very satisfied with the service from your company. Mainly because of the efficiency from Linda herself and her staff."
Herve Price, October 2009

"We have used Linda Russell‘s services to successfully resolve three boundary disputes and a complicated conveyance. We have absolute confidence in her legal opinion and have found her negotiating skills second to none. We don't think you will find a solicitor more competent, knowledgeable or dedicated than Linda when it comes to land, planning or boundary issues. Many thanks."
Rosemary Garfinkle & Steve Whiskin, November 2009

"Unfortunately we encountered planning problems when we moved in to our new premises. Once we realised this we approached Linda Russell Solicitors whom we felt very comfortable with, and that we were in safe hands with experts who knew exactly what they were talking about. We have been extremely happy with the service provided and more importantly with their assistance to find a solution to the problem which has enabled our business to continue and grow."
Perry Clayman, October 2009

"Linda provided me with an excellent service and professional help to resolve a series of long running and complex planning problems caused by unauthorised commercial developments on an adjacent property. Although we eventually failed to prevent the main application being approved, her interventions on my behalf produced formal written apologies from the Local Authority and a substantial compensation payment. Our actions also contributed to the tightening of associated procedures and controls within the L.A. Planning Department."
Barry, October 2009

"Linda S Russell came to us on the recommendation of professional advisors who were aware that we were trying to deal with a difficult planning objection which was beyond our capabilities and their expertise. The investigations made by the team were quick and thorough and the resultant briefing put us fully in the picture saving us further time and cost which we would have otherwise incurred. The service was excellent value for money, costing us less than the original estimate, which is always a pleasant surprise."
D P & P L Rush, October 2009

"We would like to thank Linda Russell Solicitors for acting on our behalf. We found your service to be highly professional, efficient and courteous. We particularly appreciated being able to work with Mrs. Sharon Smith. This conveyed a 'personal touch' which was very reassuring during what we found to be a stressful and difficult process. We will have no hesitation in recommending Linda Russell Solicitors for their professional services - particularly Sharon for her guidance, patience and profound dedication in pursuing our case to a successful conclusion. Many thanks!"
Theoni, October 2009

"Linda Russell acted for us in a very difficult case regarding a churchyard tree. Our Parochial Church Council was being aggressively pursued by an insurance company's solicitors about alleged tree root damage. The prestigious London firm of solicitors recommended by the Diocese turned out to be entirely useless in defending us. We were close to capitulation when I was recommended to Linda. She was able to bring our case to a prompt and successful conclusion. I would highly recommend Linda S Russell Solicitors to anyone who is thinking of using their services."
Tom Holme, October 2009

"I would like to write a few words about Linda S Russell Solicitors & Planning Consultants. In today‘s world to write anything complimentary about a solicitor is something of a rarity, as they don‘t get the best press. I first used Linda S Russell, Solicitors & Planning Consultants approximately 7 years ago when I had a dispute with a local authority that was becoming impossible to deal with regarding a watercourse/boundary issue. Within no time at all Linda fired a few letters across and resolved the situation, which had been dragging on for approximately 2 years and had caused untold stress to myself and my family. Linda was always very conscious of costs and would always advise on an estimated cost and time element. Over the years I have used Linda‘s firm for numerous projects with properties that I own. Linda‘s firm has also grown over the years and she appears very conscious as to whom she employs, and I have had the great pleasure to work alongside her colleague, a lady called Sharon Smith, who like Linda, her knowledge of the planning world is second to none. One thing which might surprise a lot of people is that Linda‘s firm has got to be the most honest legal practice I have ever come across. They will not take on anything which they are not comfortable with and would advise clients likewise. They will also tell clients if they would be wasting their time, but somehow they always come up with options that no one could ever think of. I have recommended Linda S Russell, Solicitors & Planning Consultants many times and will continue to do so, as I have found them a breath of fresh air for the legal industry. I can quote a councillor who actually spoke to me about a tricky planning issue "You need Linda Russell on this" and I replied "She already is". The councillor then said, "Well you should have nothing to worry about then."
