We booked our appointment a few weeks in advance as my partner needed to get a day off to visit the solicitor to do our wills, and this time of the year its hard to book time off.
When we arrived at the office the staff member wasn't able to open the front door as it is kept locked, and she didnt have the correct key....or it didnt work. She eventually got the door open. There seems to be no reception staff to greet visitors to the offices.
After 5 minutes we were asked to sit in a tiny meeting room and wait for the solicitor. The offices are very tired and run down looking.
Anyway, a lady then arrived to advise that the solicitor we were meant to be seeing hadn't come to work that day, so she apologised and said we couldn't see anyone.
She then said we couldn't see anyone until the new year.
We were very disappointed, as a day off work had been booked, and we were not phoned before we left home to cancel the appointment.
A very unprofessional firm of solicitors.

My recent experience with Smith Roddam was made very positive with the attentions of Libby Pincher - she was consistently quick to respond to phone calls/emails/messages and kept me up to date throughout the process. She was approachable and clear in delivering information and I would be happy to work with her again in the future. Thank you Libby!

I was really impressed with the service/help I received from the Smith Roddam team at Bishop Auckland with the handline of the sales of my late mother's property. Very friendly and very professional. Would definitely recommend.
