Frequently asked questions

How can we help you? Please browse some popular topics below or you can use our search function at the top of the page to find what you are looking for.

How do I know Askews Legal LLP is a reputable, talented law firm?

Our claims of excellent client service and best in class legal advice and representation are supported by our investment in legal accreditations, exceptional client reviews, and case studies. We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and hold a Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society of England and Wales, which demonstrates our commitment to client care, meticulous case management, the continual growth and development of our staff, and investment in technology.

Can you take on my case?

For certain legal matters, we can offer a free 30-minute consultation to new clients. This helps us establish whether or not your case is something we can advise and represent you on. We have a professional duty to be scrupulously honest, meaning you can trust that if we feel pursuing legal action is not in your best interests, we will tell you so. Furthermore, if we do not have the expertise to take on your case or there is a conflict of interest, we will refer you to another law firm.

How much do your services cost?

All SRA regulated law firms are required to be open and transparent about pricing. For some legal matters, such as conveyancing transactions, we can offer a Fixed Fee. Please view our Fees Page for information about our pricing.

What if I am not happy with your service?

We take client care extremely seriously. As a Lexcel accredited law firm, we provide an accessible and clear complaints procedure for our clients. You can also contact the SRA, Law Society, or the Legal Ombudsman if you are unhappy with an aspect of our service.

I am not able to travel to your office – do you make home visits?

Yes, although we do have to charge for the trip. We are committed to ensuring everyone has access to justice; therefore, if you are shielding or disabled, we are happy to come to you. We can also arrange video conference meetings.

I do not live in Coventry. Can you still represent me?

Our legal team regularly supports clients across the country, not only those who are based in Coventry. The distance between you and our office will have no effect on our ability to provide highly effective advice or representation.

I am not sure whether I need a Solicitor?

Many people do not know when to seek legal advice for a problem, and this often results in them not contacting a Solicitor until it is too late. We are a friendly team and abide by the motto “there are no silly questions”. If you are unsure whether you need professional legal advice, please give us a call to make an appointment. Coffee/tea and biscuits and a ready ear are all in good supply.

sally S.

Askews came highly recommended, so we instructed them as our solicitors in the sale of our rather complex property sale. The service we received can’t be faulted, the team were prompt and clear and never had to be chased. Paul and Stephen gave us a brilliant service and I would highly recommend.

David E.

Still on the Conveyancing journey for a property with Askews legal. I would say so far, I am satisfied with their professionalism and timeliness in handling my case. Charge is ok for the great work they do.

veronica O.

Excellent and professional.

Naru L.

I would like to thank Sumera for her support/guidance in finalising my settlement agreement from work. Sumera responded promptly to my enquiries with clear explanations which most of individual customers would need as well as legal guidance.

Lee H.

I cannot thank Sumera enough for her assistance with my settlement agreement from work. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and proactive, making sure everything was handled quickly and efficiently. Her support made the whole process far less stressful.

I would happily recommend Sumera at Askews to anyone needing legal advice, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

Pream kumar W.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with ASKEWS Legal team during our mortgage process. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive.

A very special thank you to Parvinder Sanghera, Simran Sanghera, and Anya Gardner. They went above and beyond at every stage, keeping us informed, responding promptly to our questions, and making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Their attention to detail and dedication truly stood out.

The whole team did an outstanding job, and we are so grateful for their hard work and commitment. We always felt reassured knowing we were in such capable hands.

We would highly recommend ASKEWS LEGAL firm to anyone looking for reliable and professional solicitors. Thank you again for everything!

I would highly recommend Paul and the conveyancing team their attention to details and getting things done was phenomenal. Thank you for handling all the paperwork everything went through smoothly in purchasing my home.

Angela I.

Jane Ball and Stephen handled my house purchase in December 2025. I really want to express how satisfied I am with the service rendered. They were very professional and I was carried along the process. I will recommend Askews legal to family and friends for sure, for the good and excellent service. Good job.

Rera R.

I highly recommend this employment service. Despite the pressure of a very tight deadline, Sumera Ehsan clearly explained the entire process and committed to the timeline while still making sure every detail was thoroughly covered. I was genuinely impressed by her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. From start to finish, I felt confident and in very good hands.

Lianne Payne provided 1st class fast service, thank you!

Ed D.

Jane & Stephen were both extremely helpful throughout

Adrian W.

I contacted Askews for advice on employment law, specifically voluntary redundancy. From first contact to completion of the relevant paperwork took just four working days. Lianne Payne was the epitome of professionalism throughout. If I am ever offered a similar scheme again, I know exactly who to turn to.

Clare W.

Lianne was excellent dealing with my redundancy settlement agreement. She totally supported me and made sure my settlement worked for me. Communication was first class, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly.

Sampoornam B.

Excellent professional service !! Thanks to Askews and team.

nigel B.

I had used Askews about ten years ago for the sale and purchase of properties. They were so efficient, I went back to them for the sale of my mums house. I first of all worked with Carly and Nisheet, both very responsive to queries.
I then worked with Jane and Stephen, towards completion of the sale. They were again efficient and got things done when they needed to be. I am keen to stay on top of things myself and they did not disappoint.
As I was more than happy with the service, I used Jane and Stephen for the purchase of my house later in the year.

Joey H.

I can’t express my gratitude enough for Mr Mohammad Farooq (criminal department), who was my solicitor during my criminal proceedings.
He really believed in me from the start and knew I needed someone fighting my corner. Mr Farooq could see how much this was affecting me mentally as my situation had a big impact on the relationship with my two year old girl. He showed great empathy and kindness going above and beyond to keep me updated on all aspects of my case, making me feel he was there for me throughout if I needed him.
He was very professional in his work and advice he gave me. He ensured all documents were uploaded on time and I recieved everything I requested in a timely manner. He quickly made himself available for any phone calls or meetings that I requested.
Mr Farooq recommended and secured me an outstanding barrister and between them they ensured the right outcome at my trial. For that myself, my daughters and the rest of my family will be forever greatful.

Thank you Mohammad, a true gentleman and credit to Askews Legal

Fraser S.

Recently used Askews to sell my late my mum's property. During the sale clear communication and care was provided by Paul Hewerdine. I would highly recommend Askews.

Joe J.

Lianne helped me from start to finish with my employment settlement agreement and made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. She was incredibly supportive, efficient, and took the time to clearly explain everything to me so I always knew where I stood. Everything was completed within a very short timeframe, which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Askews again. Thank you, Lianne.

I found Md Farooq to be extremely competent, professional, and empathetic throughout my experience. His strong connections with local barristers are exceptional and clearly enhance the quality of his service. He combines excellent technical expertise with a genuine personal touch and impressive resourcefulness, which is a rare combination. I fully endorse his services and highly recommend him.

Askews made buying my first house a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. Everything was handled quickly and I was only involved when needed. If you are local to Coventry then it is very reassuring and convenient to be able to visit face to face as well.

Askews as a team have been extremely efficient, patient and friendly, throughout the whole conveyancing process. Stephen in particular, took time to explain everything, which made the daunting task easier to navigate.
We would not hesitate to highly recommend Askews to anyone in need of help.
