My case was on the face of it a straightforward small claim case. However this was brought against me by a family member. I found Rachael to be very professional but also understanding of the situation. Her advice was explained to me at great length so I always knew what was happening. But she was also easily contactable if I needed to get hold of her.

From the recommendation of our estate agents, the whole process of selling our old house to buying our new one with Quality Solicitors dealing with all parties involved and associated paperwork was one of relative ease.

Felicity Lacey and the team were extremely professional, as well as approachable and understanding at all times, fully explaining how everything works and keeping myself and my wife updated on the progression of our case.

Thank you from us both.

This firm has had two complaints upheld with the legal ombudsman in the past 12 Months for;

-failing to provide advice
-failing to investigate complaints
-failing to keep informed
-failing to progress
- failing to reply

Both of which were upheld in the clients favour. This firm has had to pay the client compensation.

I have raised a formal complaint for similar issues which is under investigation and no doubt more complaints pending.

The family law team are inadequate, fail to act professional, dishonest and then charge extortionate fees for the privilege. This firm need to be stopped. They are destructive, poor quality and will add further emotional distress to an already stressful situation.

I asked the receptionist if she could provide a legal I.D. for me. She asked for my date of birth. The receptionist with dozens of finger rings in wouldn't accept the date of birth on my driving license. She was adamant it wasn't a d.o.b.

Tell her to check her own license or Google driving license.,..they all have date of birth on. Come back Paul Hinchcliffe

Hi, Stephen.
As you are of course aware, our Receptionist emailed you a profuse apology in relation to her misunderstanding of this situation. It has, however, highlighted a need for all staff to have some updated training in relation to the question of identity checks, and we thank you for that. We note you are coming in at your convenience to have your identification certified.

This company gives a very poor service.They have cost me thousands of pounds by giving incorrect advice and not doing what they were asked.They take ages to do very little and the way they conduct themselves is far short of the solicitors codes of practice. They have some extremely rude staff and have refused to communicate when I made an official complaint. They just want your money. They have lied to me to cover their shoddy practices.I have now got to start again with a different company so nine months have been wasted . They have caused me a lot of stress when i am trying to sort out my late parents estate which is just what I dont need.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM.

Hi, John
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're usually known for our customer service, so we're really sorry if we've missed the mark on this occasion. We do believe, however, that your co-executor does not hold your views as to our service in resolving the legal issues that arose from the estate.

I would look into how secure your personal data is stored at this company. All legal files left out on display for public viewing. Very unorganised and family solicitor is chaos. I would furthermore check your bill as these cowboys are charging unlawfully

My mother had a dreadful time in settling my father's estate after he died. It took well over a year for the estate to be settled. The solicitor was very charming when getting the business, but once he had the business, he was very difficult to contact. Progress was extremely slow and mum got a partial payment after repeatedly trying to contact the solicitor in question. She eventually got the full amount several months later. The whole experience was very stressful for an elderly lady. Avoid this firm. We will never use them again.
