Very unfriendly staff, and my solicitor was not only rude, but also uninterested in my case. I am tempted to file a claim for incompetency. This is the worst law firm I've worked with. Do not recommend!

They fired a single mom who had working there for 2 years, for eating a leftover sandwich! from her cleaning job, had no empathy no care for others, and just made money and rich people have value for them, Ms. Rodriguez deserves work in a better place, and if you need a lawyer better search in other place

Peabody have taken me to court with one…
Peabody have taken me to court with one sheet of paper. The court narrowed the bill down to the sum of £635.85 consisting of estimated costs which have been finalised and major works charges which they have previously taken from my account twice. I have paid the sum on 22/9/22 for the third time, under duress and to prevent a court hearing which was not formally listed, from going ahead. Devonshires Solicitors with the help of individuals in the courts and tribunals system are disregarding me because I am black and a woman representing myself in a case which should never have been taken to court in the first place.

Peabody owes me at least 2 years of service charges among other adjustments which should be credited to my account. They leave my account in a mess so they can take me to court when they have people in place to rule in their favour. The tribunal requested they provide me with a full breakdown of costs since January 2022, they have not done so to date. I requested a full statement of accounts and to date they have not provided this.

They are running a court within a court, kangaroo style. Their solicitor, Devonshires on a day to the unlisted hearing filed an emergency application for costs of £11,441.60 at the tribunal stage which they want to pass to the county court for a judgement against me because they have people there to deliver the judgement for them, even though the tribunal gave a direction and said the issue of costs will not be discussed at the tribunal. The directions also stated that after the tribunal hearing the case would be passed to the county court for a decision on costs (bizzare). A few days earlier they had told me their costs were in the region of £3000 and I replied saying I cannot pay a cost for an action that should not be at the tribunal because I have paid it twice and they are claiming it for the third time. I have complained about the way they are dealing with my case and it took them less than 24 hours to dispose the complaint without any investigations which is a total disgrace and unacceptable. The court letters are dodgy and unsigned (suspicious).

Devonshires Solicitors represent my housing association, Peabody. They have broken several rules in the solicitor's code of conduct. They took mw to court by presenting one piece of paper with no supporting evidence. They're using the court and tribunal system to force me to pay for charges which I have already paid twice before and pay for disputed charges because they have a judge that always rules in their favour regardless of the circumstances. I would rate Devonshires solicitors as zero if that was possible. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Devonshires are solicitors for L&Q Housing Association Shared Ownership. I was selling my shared ownership property & had to pay for L&Q legal services provided by Devonshires-there is no choice for the seller.
Devonshires finally replied to my solicitors emails after 6 weeks of follow up emails and me complaining to my sale officer at L&Q.
Neither myself or the buyers were in a chain and yet it took 4 months for the sale to complete even with constantly complaining. solely down to Devonshires not doing their job efficiently. Devonshires could not give a stuff about the stress this caused to myself and the buyers. Shared ownership people are not treated with respect from this company, we come bottom of the pile and yet we have no choice as they are L&Q solicitors.
Out of choice I would never use them for anything.
