Our best friend firm in the Isle of Man is Quinn Legal. We use them regularly and their service levels are excellent.
I heard about Quinn Legal through a Facebook competition last year and I signed up to your newsletters. I got many quotes for my conveyancing, and although you weren’t quite the cheapest, I have been recommended you by a number of people.
Following on from the great service we had when selling our property recently we would like to use you again for the purchasing of the house.
Thank you for your dedication to my divorce and relocation case. You have both been wonderful and I wouldn’t have succeeded without your help. I am truly grateful for everything, and the gifts were only a small gesture to your continuous patience and understanding.
It was really kind of you to go to the trouble you did for us. We think you are brilliant!
An International Bank provided us with a list of law firms they recommended and your firm was one of them. We also did some research on reviews for probate firms and Quinn Legal had good ratings and reviews. I was also impressed with your website and the ability to chat with someone almost immediately, especially given the time line between our countries.
Canadian Law Firm
I thought I would write you a short note of appreciation and thanks for the emails we exchanged.
We are really thankful for the quick response, information provided and the follow up calls. No other firms offered this service and my client would like to instruct you : ) Thank you to Lisa for setting out the details for the quote and wanted to say how helpful this is. The client is really happy with the service.
Thanks for your continued good work.
Thanks for a prompt quote – most impressive!
As mentioned, I cannot thank you enough – despite the issues outside of our control – we have got there in the end!!
I know Claire Clampton professionally and I am fond of her work ethic, so I assumed that the rest of the firm may be similar! I have been really impressed with your customer service today.
We were only selling but Quinn Legal made the buying process a lot easier for my buyer. There were a couple of occasions when his lawyers were telling him that they were waiting for something from Quinn Legal, only for Neil to prove this had been sent days earlier.
Mr Steve Overton | Private Client
I would like to say Thank You. Thank you for your all your help and your patience. I am very grateful that you did my case. I wish you everything good that can be imagined for the future.
We were really pleased that we chose Quinn Legal for the sale of our house and that we didn’t chose a rival company based on price alone.
Mr Steve Overton | Private Client
The GDPR has been a ‘hot topic’ now for well over a year. Adherence to the legislation is key and for many organisations has meant reviewing and realigning their procedures and policies.
Working as a consultant for numerous on and off-island organisations, I’ve had the pleasure of introducing Quinn Legal as champions in this field. I’ve been immensely impressed by their approach to assisting organisations, not only in terms of their ability to align the working practices, but also in terms of their well thought-out, impactful and in-depth training.
Their professionalism, coupled with their capability to understand a very broad variety of businesses demonstrates their willingness and effectiveness in driving value.
Alex Martin-Smith | Simplify
Many thanks for both of you for your spectacularly quick and efficient service earlier in the week. I managed to get to the Courts and submit the probate, swearing the appropriate oath. This was a real load off my mind and allowed me to concentrate on the events of the following day.
On behalf of both myself and my sister, we would like to extend a huge thank you to Hayley and her team. Hayley has been extremely professional throughout this process and empathised with our situation. She quickly understood our wishes and explained the legal position clearly. Most importantly, through her expertise she swiftly brought the matter to a close which was our wish and it has now allowed us to start to move forward from what has been a very difficult period in our lives.
I know it’s your job and you’re being paid to do it, but we are so thankful for your help with this. It is hard to put into words the weight that has been lifted from our shoulders now that this issue has ended.
Many thanks ladies.
You have been wonderful. This whole process has been so smooth and we will hopefully be in touch again when we purchase our next property.
Thanks again for all the help and going above and beyond. It is very much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your explanation and breakdown of the fees – extremely helpful.
The GDPR Portal is amazing.
I don’t know how anyone could survive without it!
Ruth Douthwaite | Celtic Associates
Thanks so much for the information, and many thanks to Claire for sorting all this out, in so short a time.
Everything is as I would like it to be…… Great job as always….
I would have said more good things about Louise and the overall service but the box is too small!
Excellent. Professional. Competent. I moved from another law firm and the uplift in service from Ms (Louise) Byrne was unbelievable.
Thanks for you help, John.
I do appreciate what you are doing for me, Hayley.
Thank you for keeping me up to date and informed.
It is extremely useful for charities. It is a difficult subject to deliver but the trainer did it well.

Fantastic nothing to fault. Everyone was fab.
All good – friendly atmosphere pervades.
The service I received was brilliant at all times.
I found the reception staff very helpful and pleasant. They pointed us in the right direction for what we required. Our legal representative, Lisa Gawne, explained all we needed to know, then carried out our instructions to the letter.
Everyone was really nice and co-operative.
I know you provide a good service because we have used you in the past.
Leanne, thank you for giving this your prompt attention.

Bernie, I much appreciated your help on this.
Neil and Robyn, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself and the team for helping us with buying our first home. We collected the keys yesterday and we’re ecstatic to get started on making it our own. Again, thank you massively, it’s been a pleasure.
James/Steve just a quick note to say thank you for the hospitality on Saturday it was a very enjoyable event. As always great atmosphere and great networking opps..!
Many thanks Steven, and huge thanks / well done for today.
Thanks for your help with this Leanne, I really appreciate it.
Thanks Leanne you have been a great help.
Friendly and efficient, and so very helpful. You take the stress out of what ever business you’re dealing with.
It is so nice to see happy, cheerful and helpful staff.
Service was prompt and I was kept informed throughout.
Used Quinn legal previously – service was great. All dealings dealt with expertly in friendly and informative manner.
I have used Quinn Legal before and they were excellent again. Excellent communication.
I felt everything was already very good. The service was excellent, very smooth and very professional service.
Neil was constantly in touch and able to keep me updated at all times. I had total faith that he would be working ‘on our side’ and would be doing the very best he could. I felt very pleased with the service I received and have recommended you to several people so far.
I don’t think the services I used could be improved.
Service we received was first class – I was impressed with service and advice provided by Kate Clague so said would be back when I needed more legal support.
Neil Quilliam did an excellent job – he knows the process inside out and was very helpful at every stage.
Used Quinn Legal for a long time.
It was handled extremely professionally and efficiently. The staff were very pleasant and professional. I felt very welcomed by the receptionist.
I was entirely happy with the service as it was. Have used your services a couple of times and will use again if required.
My experience has been very positive, help and assistance was uppermost at all times.
Kate was very helpful in what turned out to be a complicated matter.
Excellent service all round.
Thank you so much for your work on this issue and getting it resolved, Steven.
Thank you for your help and support during the counting process for this year’s Poppy Appeal in Douglas. We have raised over £39,500.00! Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas from Hilary and the team from Douglas Branch RBL.
Thanks John for sorting that out. Thanks again, means a lot.
John and Jim, thanks for your help.
Stephen, thank you for your work in getting this completed. You were super efficient.
Stephen, thanks for rushing these documents out and in good time – perfectly timed ie before 11:00am as you promised. Fantastic – many thanks.
Bernie, you are wonderful. Thank you.
Louise, thank you so much for the advice you have given us. You have put my mind at ease as I have been so worried about it. I have so much respect for you. So glad I had the opportunity to meet you.
Thank you for all your help, John.
Now that Kate has completed our house sale and purchase, I just wanted to let you know what an excellent job she has done for us. I know I can be quite demanding, but Kate was patient, kept us well informed and gave us the reassurances we needed just when we needed them.
Thank you Bernie, I appreciate your help.
Appreciate all the help always, Bernie.
Thanks Steve, I enjoyed it! Please pass on my thanks to Peter as well – a superbly detailed day out.
Louise you absolute rockstar! I don’t know what I would do without all your fantastic help!
Thanks Steve, we really enjoyed the seminar and found it most informative.
I know some lovely people including my wonderful Manx advocate Claire Clampton. Can’t praise her enough. What a wonderful lady.
Just a note of thanks to you and Neil for your time and hospitality today, Steve, we found it very informative.
Just a quick email to thank you for meeting with us yesterday, Steve. I think we took some valuable points away from the meeting so it was certainly worthwhile.
Thank you for all your help over the last month or so, Neil. Buying a house is a hugely important event for us and an area in which we are not experienced. You have provided reassurance and expertise at every step and we are grateful for the quality service.
We would like to go ahead and instruct Quinn Legal after a lot of positive recommendation!
Thank you so much for all your help, Claire, I am delighted.
Just a quick email to say thanks for Friday it was a quality afternoon much better than the “norm” corporate events. I really enjoyed the company and must apologise again for my terrible golf!
Please pass on my thanks to Quinn Legal for their generous sponsorship of the Silver Angel Cup at Douglas Golf Club. I was very proud to win second prize.
We would like to thank you for your very clear and helpful advice, Ashley. Very much appreciated.
Thank you for the excellent preparation, Steven.
Steven, I commend you on a job well done.
Thanks for all your help Steven.
Fantastic Customer and professional Service from Ashley Kneale. He was approachable and down to earth with a sense of humor which is always extremely important in stressful situations. We felt Ashley was there right with us the whole way. Thank you very much and am singing his praises!
I really appreciate your help and advice, especially in explaining the future risks involved in my matter. Had I known about and used your law firm with my past legal matters, I could have saved a substantial amount of money and hassle. Thank you.
John and Jim, thank you I really do appreciate everything that has been done for me.
Thank you too to Kathryn she has been great. Like to thank Avril too she is a great receptionist.
Excellent knowledge of the law.
I can honestly say your service was outstanding. All the staff were friendly and professional and helped put my mind to rest at a very stressful time.
I think your service is very good.
The service by email and telephone could not have been bettered.
Neil & Robyn were extremely helpful.
Quinn Legal were very efficient and prompt.
We had an excellent experience! The whole process was far superior to what we experienced in England.
I was always met with understanding, a high level of professionalism and ultimately a resolution that was beneficial for all parties that were involved.
Thank you again for your all help, Jim and John.
Perfect, thank you very much for all your help throughout the process Kate. Made it so much easier for me. Thanks for your patience with all my questions.
I am extremely grateful for your advice and and I appreciate your legal support to date.
Kate and Tracy, wow… thanks again for all your support, assistance and efficiency with our recent property sale. It was a great relief to know our sale was in safe hands at Quinn Legal.
I was impressed by your responsiveness in our previous correspondence.
Thanks again and big thanks to Leanne too – she’s been very helpful in this process.
Claire, I feel yesterday was a good result thank you.
Neil, once again thank you for everything you have done for me this summer regarding the purchase of my new property and sale of my old property.
Kate, thanks so much. What a triumph! Well done, you star!
Thank you so much for your prompt replies and great customer service.
Appreciate your prompt response and first class presentation, Kate.Conveyancing client – August 2017
As far as we are concerned our experience could not have been bettered so no improvement required!
Very positive experience from Neil, and then from Robyn who picked up the sale/purchase days before it was due to complete.
We could not fault the service we received, starting with the reception desk and followed by Cara Nelson dealing with our business. Cara was professional, swift in her responses, competent in her advice and a very personable lady to deal with.
Cara, we have been most pleasantly surprised at the difference in dealing with you as representative of a legal profession which for so long was stuck in what might be called Victorian values. The regular and immediate contact by email has been so refreshing and has made the process much easier and happening in real time.
Thank you for a wonderful customer experience!
Leanne was extremely professional yet approachable and provided a high level of customer service. Explained next steps, including sending me an email within the timescale specified, for the process I need to go through. What a joy to receive this level of service. Thank you.
Kathryn, thank you and Claire for being so good through this stressful time.
Steven, many thanks to you and Natalie for excellent work.
Once again I appreciate all your help.
Thankyou so much for all your work and time your first class, Claire. You put a big smile on a face today.
Olivia was extremely helpful breaking things down and interpreting jargon.
Kate and Tracy kept me sane and informed, so a big thanks to them both!
I was very happy with the customer service from start to finish and always received a quick response to any queries I had regarding my transaction. Would definitely recommend and will probably use your services again.
Lovely staff very helpful
You are the first advocate to actually explain something to me. Many thanks.
I have recommended your services to my colleague, Neil, particularly as you did such a fantastic job on my recent purchase.
Many thanks for the excellent work.
Easy flexible appointments, everything explained in simple terms.
It was all so smooth & quick, amazing service.
We had no negative comments to make, we received a very professional service. All services were extremely professionally carried out and all staff very helpful and lovely to deal with.
Neil made a very (very) rapidly moving house sale that was made painful because of the buyers, a quick and much easier process. He was a star.
This was my first dealing with your office, made to feel like a customer and not a number. Was very good, never had to wait and nothing was too much trouble.
Very good / very helpful
I was impressed by your service both over the phone and in terms of getting your firms quote out to us.
Thanks very much, everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Was very good, never had to wait and nothing was too much trouble.
Neil made a very (very) rapidly moving house sale that was made painful because of the buyers, a quick and much easier process. He was a star.
Lisa Gawne was so helpful during a difficult time. She saw me straight away and put my mind at rest. Cannot thank her enough.
Extremely happy with the service which was done mostly by email as we are living in the UK. Any email queries we sent were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Louise was so caring throughout my divorce. It’s the small things that make a difference and her support really helped me through a very hard time.
Steven, thank you, I am extremely grateful for all your work on this.
Claire, thanks so much for all the hard work and time you have put in to help me and my family out.
Thank you Leanne, and thanks for being so good with me on the phone. Your kindness was much appreciated.
You have been recommended to me and I was really impressed with your helpfulness with this quote.
Peter, thanks for coming along to our AGM and delivering such an informative session. We have had some great feedback from the attendees so it obviously went down well.
Thank you for your help, you are all so friendly and it has been really nice dealing with you. Really great reception area.
Thank you Leanne you are a star!
Thanks again for everything. I cannot say how pleased I am with the excellent service over the last 3 months. Pleasure to deal with you Kate.
Kate and Tracy, you are both exceptional!
Nothing was too much trouble, the communication was excellent, and they met every one of our demands with professionalism and integrity throughout. I cannot emphasise how delighted we have been throughout the whole process.
There is nothing I would or could say on this point – we were delighted with all aspects of the service we received.
Excellent service and I will recommend Neil to anyone who is buying a property.
Excellent service. Neil was very efficient and made a potentially stressful process run smoothly.
I think that the relaxed but formal approach to clients works for me.
Very professional. Very detailed. Very good!
The service was good and fee was what I was quoted.
Thank you for all your help and support with the purchase, Ruth.
Thanks for this Kate, and for your determination in seeing it through. I know it wasn’t the easiest job.
I appreciated the honest and commercial approach which delivered the best result possible. Thanks Ashley.
Many thanks, Leanne for sending this through to me so quickly.
I appreciate your swift assistance regarding this matter.
Thank you for your prompt quote Leanne.
Thanks for the quick responses, it was really appreciated.
Peter was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed.
Your quote was very concise and easy to understand, and the customer service you gave was excellent!
Thank you so much for your incredibly hard work, Steven.
You are a gem, Leanne, thanks a million for your kind assistance.
I used Neil for my house purchase 2 years ago and would recommend you.
Louise’s decision making and advice was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone.
I would like to take the opportunity to compliment the property team on the professional way in which they handled the sale.
The receptionist and waiting area is very welcoming, not what I was expecting from a law firm!
As always reliable.
Leanne has been fantastic, extremely prompt in providing me with the information I required in order to sign up.
Thanks for all your work and assistance, Ashley.
Kate- very pleased with all your efforts kindness nothing too much trouble.
Having bought and sold a number of properties over the years, this was – by a long way – the best experience that I have had. Quick response times to my queries were particularly appreciated, as was the approachable members of the team. More of the same rather than an improvement. Neil and Robyn worked excellently as a team, with one picking up if the other was busy but in such a way that it was seamless. Big thank you.
I cannot fault Quinn Legal whatsoever. Service provided was excellent. Thank you.
Really friendly staff and they seem to be on top of their game. I would absolutely recommend this company.
Thank you for helping us with a stressful house move, Neil.
Peter is an excellent person to work with; quick, patient, good knowledge and efficient. I’ve only ever heard good things spoken of Quinn Legal on a whole.
I was well looked after by Andrew and found the staff friendly and helpful. There was never any problem contacting someone at Quinn Legal.
Peter was very customer orientated, reliable and efficient. We would use you again without hesitation.
You were so helpful and caring, thank you for your help, Leanne.
Steve, thank you for your assistance and support in our legal case.
We are forever grateful for your sterling work, Steven.
Many thanks for your help and patience on this matter, Kate, your kindness is very much appreciated.
John, we wanted to wish you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New year and a big thank for all your help.
I recently had the good fortune to engage Quinn Legal to handle the legal aspects of buying and selling a house. Our house move was not without it’s complications and it is testament to their dedication and professionalism that the whole process was completed within challenging timescales and without significant stress or trauma. We particularly appreciated when Ruth spent considerable time explaining the complexities of our case and key terms and conditions of the contracts we were about to sign. From start to finish Quinn Legal maintained a high level of communication with me, providing regular updates of progress and always being available to talk things through when I rang. At no time did our conversations appear hurried and although I know this was far from the case, I was often left with the perception that I was her only client. I was strongly recommended to approach Quinn Legal and they did not disappoint. Their fees for conveyancing were competitive and I would not hesitate to pass on that recommendation to anyone moving house.
Once again, thank you so much Neil and Robyn for all of your help – I really appreciate it!
Kate, thank you so much for getting all this sorted for us, so quickly we really do appreciate it. Once again thanks for your efficiency in this matter, you have eased our stress a lot.
Thank you so much and so happy to have enlightened women representing me.
Claire, I just want to say thank you so so much for all your help and care you gave me over the year. I wish you a very happy Christmas and hope the New Year brings you joy and happiness.
Louise and Lee-Ann, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for enabling the matter to be finally resolved.
Thank you Peter. You have been a wonderful help (and inspiration too).
Thank you all for your work on the sale of our property, and thanks so much for the ongoing communication over the past few months. It was difficult not being able to get back to the Isle of Man for the sale and being so far away during this process. We appreciate all you did to keep us up to date!
Just wanted to say thank you to you, Neil, and to Robyn, for looking after us and ensuring the sale was pretty straight forward.
Thank you for all your attention and hard work, Steven.
Thanks again, Robyn, I was very happy with your services from beginning to end. It’s a joy to deal with people who are both pleasant and efficient.
Claire, may I sincerely thank you for bringing an end to a long and weary road! Spot on.
Neil, really appreciate your help and at such short notice as well. Have been singing your praises for months now to all and sundry. The services your team offer are second to none.
Kate – Just wanted to say thanks again for sorting out our conveyancing AND for pulling out all the stops to get the sale and purchase on the same day.
Thanks so much Kate for your kindness, professionalism, compassion and speed in getting this resolved today in what are challenging circumstances. We are both extremely grateful to you, Tracy and Claire.
Thank you so much for all your efforts over the past two years, Claire. I wish you all the luck in your career.
Many thanks for your sterling efforts, Steven.
I would just like to say a big thank you, Ruth, for all your efforts in getting the house purchase completed for last Friday!
We have known and dealt with James and his team for many years, during which time they have provided excellent service in many areas. I can confidently recommend Quinn Legal as solid, reliable, and experts in their field.
We used Quinn Legal for our conveyancing matter and what can I say, ‘First class service from start to finish’. Their communication was excellent and we were kept up to date every step of the way. Thank you very much for your professional service, we would recommend you to anyone.
Thanks for all your help, it’s been very much appreciated. I sing Quinn Legal’s praises to everyone I have spoken to and will certainly choose you if I need anything in the future.
I’d like to say how much I’ve appreciated your help, advice and support during the past few months.
Thanks Quinn Legal, you’ve been fantastic.
Thank you for your time and input. But most of all, I really appreciated your genuine concern in asking how I was doing throughout the course of my case.
Many thanks for all of the advice and the efficient manner with which Quinn Legal have dealt with my matter.
I would like to thank Quinn Legal sincerely for all the help and support during my court case.
Quinn Legal was recommended to myself when I was purchasing my first property. I found Neil to be extremely helpful, they guided me through each stage of the process, making the purchase as stress free as possible. A great service at reasonable cost.
I was so impressed with Quinn Legal’s attitude towards dealing with my business matter. It was carried out in an exemplary way. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services in the future.
