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 slightly puzzled, about being paid (at my request) by cheque, rather than bank transfer with a charge of £18.00. I've always dealt with good old-fashioned cheques, which don't seem to be popular anymore! I intend to deal with you in the future & I hope you will not disappoint me with my favourite payment/receiving method.

I had my Will drafted by Ms Sylvia Dowling McIvor and before signing she explained each paragraph and clause and this implications plainly and thoroughly with such professionalism. I was immensely impressed, more like having a conversation with a dear friend and so enjoyable. Thank you so much.
