Excellent service. I was able to obtain a Court Deputyship for my disabled relative. Staff knowledgeable and I am grateful they could help make it happen. It took about a year from start to finish (5 months of which was waiting on the Court of Protection.) I can recommend this firm to anyone who needs similar legal help.
It was an expensive business.

From the onset of our engagement, William at Giles Wilson Solicitors displayed an exceptional level of care and professionalism in handling the preparation of both my and my partner's wills. His approach was not just about legal formalities; he genuinely held our hands through every step.

What stood out most was his deep commitment to our welfare and that of our future inheritors. He took the time to understand our unique needs and crafted our wills with precision.

Also, William's expertise in maximising inheritance tax efficiency was invaluable. He navigated the complexities with ease.

I cannot recommend William enough for anyone needing a will. His blend of professional acumen and genuine care for clients is a rare find. Thank you, William for not only being an outstanding solicitor but also a trusted advisor in these important life decisions.

We recently used Giles Wilson Solicitors to sell/purchase a property and re write our wills. During this time we received lots of legal information, clarity and advice. Our questions were always answered on the day of asking whether by email or by phone. Initially we could not go into the office to deal with our wills due to work commitments and were offered a Teams meeting instead which worked really well for us. The whole process was stress free and we would like to thank Pippa, Jodie and Florence for their kind an professional service.

I have received a very efficient service from William Brock at Giles Wilson, my business was undertaken in a timely, professional manner and I was kept informed of the requirements and progress at every stage. My only observation is that the cost of the work undertaken was higher than I originally anticipated, however, I remain very pleased with the service I have received.

I've used this firm twice. I've used other solicitors. When I bought my flat, the seller, unfortunately didn't use a good firm like this one and lost me a lot of money. My solicitor, Jodie, would have completed in the time scale we wanted. She was brilliant at communicating with me via email and updating me on everything. I used another solicitor in this firm, Jackie, who was fantastic too! I would recommend this firm to anyone. Really happy. Their charges are very clear, and compared to other firms, very fair. What you see is what you get, and no hidden shocks! Thank you so much for all your work. With the purchase of my flat, Jodie went over and above to try get things done otherwise I'd still be waiting!
The building is wheelchair accessible, there's a ramped entrance at the side, this is the main office.
Thank you very much. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm. If you are deaf, they will use email and staff try to speak clearly to aid lipreading.

Flawless service in what was a very difficult time for me in dealing with my dads estate. The estate was very complex but Pippa and her team guided me through it smoothly and were very supportive and sympathetic along the way. There was times I felt like giving up dealing with it but Pippa was amazing and got the job done. Giles Wilson then also went on to deal with the sale of my fathers property and again this was flawless process and Jodie was excellent on the conveyancing side.

Thanks for the great service by the entire team at Giles Wilson, the best firm of solicitors I have ever worked with.
I needed the services of Jodie O'Regan on what proved to be a less than straightforward conveyance involving an
overseas buyer and her appointed represantative.If anyone is looking for a conveyancing solicitor, I recommend
Jodie without hesitation. I also needed the services of Family Lawyer Zoe Antill on a different and quite traumatic matter.
I can't thank Zoe enough for her legal expertise, advice and guidance, and the great job she did resolving the issues.
Thankyou everyone!

We approached Giles Wilson Law Limited to act for us regarding a remortgage and were extremely glad that we did so as the service provided was excellent. They always informed us of the progress and were quick to respond to any queries we had. Additionally, they provided very clear information about their fees at the outset (which were very reasonable compared to the quotes we had been given by other solicitors). Their final invoice did not exceed the fees they had set out. We would have no hesitation in recommending Giles Wilson Law Limited to others.

Giles Wilson claim they are different from other solicitors. I would agree for all the most positive reasons. I sought their help in an exhausted, very distressed state. The solicitor really listened, took care not to interrupt me, but let my sometimes rambling narrative reach its natural end. He then exuded a quiet, assured confidence that they could help me. Their legal expertise and technical experience is of course important, but at the emotional point of need, it is the human touch and people skills that tip the balance. Also, in this regard, Giles Wilson excelled. I came away from first contact with a tremendous sense of a burden lifted, hope and a lightness of spirit.

My previous solicitor charged me £4000.00 and took nearly 11 months and still didn't tell me what Giles Wilson did in two weeks and cost more or less an eighth of the price of what I previously paid. That in-itself speaks volumes and from my point of view excellent service. I will definitely use them again if I have too with total confidence.

I must admit, I went in with a somewhat jaded view of solicitors and them being more interested in revenue generation than serving clients but have been happily proved wrong in this instance. Right from the start it was clear Richard (and initially Rachael) were asking all the right questions, were focussed on what I wanted to achieve whilst trying to keep things as smooth as possible. Communications with myself and 3rd parties were handled professionally and tactfully. The work was handled to my satisfaction and discussions were always constructive and helpful.

As far as costs go, part of my initial reluctance was spiralling costs but the entire process was much cheaper than I feared although I had done a fair bit of the initial leg work myself. It was well worth it though to get the documentation properly structured to satisfy the court and to maximise the chance of the settlement being accepted, which it was.

All in all I was very impressed and would definitely use them again should the need arise.

Pippa at Giles Wilson has recently helped us with both a discretionary trust and slightly complicated wills and has been a joy to work with throughout, from the first call and consultation to signing of the documents. Always friendly, highly professional and very responsive, carefully and clearly advising and guiding us on quite complicated matters to get to the reassuring point where these important matters are now resolved. Legal advice is not cheap but we felt the fees were competitive and good value especially when set against the importance now and long term of the things we had to get in place.

Kirsty Buxton was our contact. We originally approached Giles Wilson, who had taken over the business of our solicitor in Leigh on Sea, in regard to obtaining Deputyship for Derek's brother and also LPAs for both of us. Kirsty very carefully went through what was involved in the Deputyship process and the pros and cons of LPAs. The fees charged overall included the fees charged by the Court of Protection and all in was quite hefty. However, the service we got was exemplary. Our LPa's went through quickly and with no problems. The application for Deputyship was a different story starting in May 2019 and finishing in May 2020, all down to the Court of Protection requirements. Kirsty was there for us at each step along the way and her knowledge and help were invaluable.
We would certainly recommend this firm to others.

After being dismissed from my job after 25 years, I took my case to Giles Wilson to see if they could help me with a wrongful dismissal claim, that I felt I had.

I met with one of the partners, Roy Daby, he read the notes I provided, asked some questions, and thankfully took my case on. Also, worth bearing mind is that the company we were "taking on" is a house hold name, who could obviously afford top London based legal people, but this did not deter GW from taking my case on.

The whole process was very stressful, but it was made easier by the fact that I had Jacqui from GW working on my case. She was always on the end of the phone if I had a question or worry, and several times she would call me late into the evening where she was still burning the midnight oil on the case.

Added to the good work done by Jacqui and Elliot, GW also engaged the services of an excellent barrister, Mark Stephens. Watching Mark work during the tribunal and remedy hearing was amazing. He also showed that he cared and that an injustice had been done when I was dismissed and he wanted to put it right and get me the best possible outcome.

All in all, the work that Jacqui, the GW team and Mark did help me take on and beat a blue-chip company that thought they could treat a loyal employee with 25 years’ service in an appalling manner.

Thank you, Roy, for believing in me and making it possible for me to take my previous employer to tribunal.

Thank you also to Jacqui, Elliot and Mark for their hard work and support. I would not hesitate in recommending Giles Wilson to anyone who is unfairly dismissed, as they showed true empathy and care in their work and showed they cared about me and my family.

All in all, I am very pleased with the final outcome

Thank you all at Giles Wilson.

Rachael worked as my Solicitor for over a year and throughout this time she always provided me with reassurance and honestly regarding my case.

Recently I had to set up a power of attorney for my aged mother, on an emergency basis. I phoned the lawyers closest to her home and thank heavens I did. I called early in the morning and made an appointment for a layer to visit my mother that afternoon. Unbeknownst to me, the lawyer, Daniel Wilson, who showed up, on time is a partner of the firm (Giles Wilson) and I couldn't have asked for anyone kinder and more understanding to my situation. He spent more than an hour explaining to my mother exactly how the power of attorney worked, all the legal ramification and what was expected from her and her three attorneys, her three children.

As mailing the completed package back is not appropriate, Mr. Wilson will again visit my mother, a service most appraised. I was shock at the "set" price, but then I confess to being totally naive when it comes to what lawyers cost, but that said, Daniel was worth it.

My ex-wife decided to hire a top city solicitor in a effort to extract as much money from our settlement as possible. I decided to remain "local" with my instruction (Phil Giles) and never regretted it.

I would not wish my experience upon anyone, but through 17 months of hell instigated by the other side, Phil provided experienced, clear, calm and measured guidance.

Although Phil's hourly fees were less than half those of my wife's solicitor, in my opinion, he was a much better practitioner (and I am a non practising barrister so I do have some idea on this) as well as being far more pragmatic and practical.

During a process like this it is very important to have someone you can trust, and who is able to give clear answers and reassurance which allows you to get to sleep that night.

Most importantly, I was very pleased with the final settlement. We had to go to court and again, Phil's knowledge of the local courts and judges was very useful and his choice of barrister was also excellent.

My costs were very high by the end but they were fair considering the amount of work that needed to be done. I have no doubt that Phil would have been able to conclude matters far earlier and at a fraction of the cost had my ex not decided to take the "city" route she did.

Despite the fact that I sincerely hope I never have to use Phil again (!) I am very glad that I did engage him, and I shudder to think what might have happened had I not had such a capable solicitor on my side.

The initial response was immediate with a quote to solicitate my house purchase. I was really happy with the way that my purchase was handled throughout and was given some very useful advice. I was moving from a rented property and the end of my contract was rapidly approaching so I put a huge amount of pressure on the guys at Giles Wilson to push the purchase through before a certain date. This was handled calmly and professionally and I was very grateful to be able to move into my new house a few days before my rental contract ended. This allowed us to do a gradual move which saved a lot of stress. There were also a few tricky issues with boundaries that were sorted out for me very quickly and easily.

I would have liked a few more regular updates throughout, without having to chase myself, that’s the only thing that has stopped me giving the full 5 stars.

Overall though a great experience and they did a great job to hit my tight deadline. In total it took about 8 weeks from initial contact to completion which is fantastic.

I have used Giles Wilson numerous times for private client conveyancing work and for commercial conveyancing, as well as employment law and tenant eviction. I have also recommended the firm several times for divorce work (some of my friends are still married!) and had excellent feedback from those I’ve recommended. As a former litigator myself, I have high expectations and have been very satisfied with the five or six different fee earners I have dealt with, hence my willingness to recommend the firm. I have read some of the negative reviews on here and would advise anyone who is not happy with the service they are getting from their lawyer - at any firm - to write immediately to the senior partner. As an employer myself, our reputation is important to us and we can only deal with staff not living up to it if we are made aware.

As a business owner yourself, you will know that any complaint from a client hurts, particularly when you have lived and breathed the business for 20+ years. We do sometimes get things wrong, but when we do, we work hard to put it right; recently, our conveyancing dept was being re-structured and there were some teething problems which, I am glad to say, have now resolved. Online reviews are a new thing for us and it has surprised me that this can be the first port of call for a client before contacting us direct with their concern. As solicitors, client confidentiality is a professional duty of ours, so responding to a negative online review can be a fine line to tread (and sometimes the review is not even from a client, but rather an unhappy individual on the other side of a case to us). As you say, any client who has an issue should always contact us (me) first so that we can resolve it. Thanks again.

We were recommended Giles Wilson by a family friend to get our wills done. Great service from start to finish. We dealt with Melinda Giles who was very efficient, professional and took the time to explain everything to us. Would highly recommend them as we were more than happy with the service we received.

I recently updated my will and used Giles Wilson. They couldn't have been friendlier or more efficient. I was guided through the process and advised at every stage. I would definitely use them again in the future -- very impressed.

I have been a personal client of Giles Wilson for many years, my conveyancing, my Will and various other litigious matters that have, over the years, arisen, have all been dealt with professionally, thoughtfully and successfully, so much so that I have never had a moments hesitation in recommending their services to my friends and family. The advice I have been given, even if on occasion was not what I wanted to hear has been, as it turned out right which is the reason I take my professional advice from Giles Wilson. Strongly recommend this firm.

I was recommended to Giles Wilson from a friend of mine. Being new to the area I had no idea what firm to go with and you always hear such worrying stories about solicitors etc.
I was booked in and spoke with Melinda Giles who immediately put me at ease. It was a very trying time I had moved to a new area and was going through a divorce and custody arrangement for my child. Melinda guided me and helped me through each process - i had so many questions about what he could and couldn’t demand when it came to our child and was extremely worried about it all. Melinda answered everything in a way I could understand and ensured I had everything I needed. She kept on top of everything to do with my case and reassured me at every stage. I’m happy to say I’m now divorced and have a visiting agreement in place for my ex to see our child.
I will not be using any other solicitor from here on out, I couldn’t imagine anyone else giving me the reassurance, advice and help I need in the same way as Melinda did. I’m forever grateful to her for her help and the help of the firm in general. Thank you so much Melinda & team.

During the last 12 months I’ve consistently been impressed with Giles Wilson’s business and commercial knowledge - from GDPR to help with a business sale / merger transaction. They are always accessible, knowledgeable and with an eye for detail. Like anything in life you get what you pay for!

Excellent firm. I’ve used Giles Wilson for a number of years, most recently, amongst other things for: Conveyancing, wills, trademarking, and business compliance work. The advice is always first class, across all the 3 or 4 solicitors I have worked with at Giles Wilson. Whether personal or professional-commercial work - I have never been let down. Highly recommended (and I do so often), and highly professional.

Divorce

27/04/18 - Reviewed by Karl Bigault

They have been dealing with my divorce now since November 2017, I have not heard back from them for over 6 weeks even though I was told they would be in touch 3 weeks ago. I have called the office and left messages now I find out the person who was dealing with my divorce left the company some weeks ago, I feel they are bad at communication and organisation along with being very slack at responding or returning phone calls. A shame to see such a great family company being run in to the ground by a team who appear not to care, this will be a great loss to Leigh On Sea but with the current lack of customer service it will be inevitable that this once great company will close.

I was sorry to read your review. I am limited as to what I can say online because we have duties of confidentiality. The person who left was a member of support staff, not the solicitor. There was a handover between the member of support staff who left and the person who has taken over; their role is simply as administrative support.

We updated you on your case, in writing, 4 weeks ago and explained that we were now waiting on a third party. You called today and we have tried to contact you on the number held on file several times but have not been able to get through. Please confirm if your number remains in service. I do not wish to say more online because of confidentiality but if you remain concerned, please do give me a call.

I first used this company 9 years ago and they were fab, not no more though. Poor service, lack of communication. Moved offices midway through and I wasn't even aware until I rocked up. Took forever and a day for a easy chain on a sale and purchase. Constantly chasing. Oh and check your final bill, they seem to change when you query. I would not recommend this company.

Secretary, I spoke to, had a degree in rudeness. I asked them to get Andrew Young to acknowledge receipt of some information many times, still no contact. Although they initially responded quickly, it seems they are only really interested in you if it is highly lucrative to them.

I simply wanted some help with dealing with a property management company.
Initial response was good (when I was being offered non requested legal help with right to manage) but I explained that I am not in a current position to take that on.
After being then passed on to another colleague and emailing over the paperwork as asked, I heard nothing back despite numerous requests by phone and electronically.
Lastly,(as I did not ask her name) I don't know which of your secretaries I had a bad experience with.
Kind regards, David
