Excellent , Pat was very professional, very patient with our questions, explained everything fully, we left knowing that our wishes would be transcribed exactly as we desired.

I would highly recommend Platt & Fishwick. We used them for an amendment to an existing will. Pat Higgins and her team were excellent, providing professional, helpful, friendly advice and a highly efficient service. We were particularly grateful to Pat for her wonderful customer service and patience as she dealt sensitively with our elderly Mother.
The firm have coped well with the challenges of remote working. The fact that it has not compromised their efficiency is a credit their 'extra-mile' attitude.

Bliss Dando made making a will exceptionally easy and straight forward. The service was quick and efficient, particularly during the Covid-19 lockdown. I have no hesitation in recommending Platt and Fishwick and Bliss Dando for this type of service.

Have used this firm for many years mostly over the last year for Power of Attorney and Probate. Bliss Dando who dealt with these matters for me was utterly professional at all times and constantly kept me informed of the situation, especially in these difficult times. Nothing was to much trouble and was dealt with in a kind and caring way at a sad time for all my family.
The cost was very reasonable, and i would not hesitate to use this firm again in the future.

Platt tried to prevent me from exposing them on TrustPilot and went to lengths to impersonate me on Google Reviews
This happened over 10 years ago but the pain is still raw -like it was just yesterday.
I was a tenant of a council for over 10 years and was treated worst than a dog. The Government back then introduced downsizing and this council i was with tried everything in their power to kick me out of my home - which i worked long and hard for. My rent was never late. I had a racist neighbour that had been stalking and harassing me- which the council failed to deal with.
The property was not fitted with adquate heating and i appealed to them about it and was refused and kept advising they were for families. I had spent money on the property over the years trying to make it homely ( although i did not have money to which i could afford radiators). It was the time when the UK faced its worse winter in history. I called and called the council, begging them for heating and each time my pleas where ingored. Once day whilst on the phone to my family member , i suddenly found that i could not breathe . I infact suffered a severe panic attack, this continue for several weeks, parametics was constantly called. I continued to contact the council and whilst pleading on a call to my housing officier , my panic attack began again, she was cold, she was callous!
Fast forward - some many things transpired, including being admitted into hospital . Eventually i relented because my health had taken a beaten because of all what the council did to force me from my home. I moved into another property-- whom i later found the association was close friends with the one previous. I was set upon like flys to a nest. I was racially harassed and had threats made towards me . I reported it to the council and was patronised and told that my illness is a factor and i should be quiet. My safety was imperative at that point, so i sent them an email advising i am terminating my tenancy and within a week , left the property. Since then they where determined to make my life difficult i was blacklisted from obtaining a home. I approached Platt Solicitors with evidence including Police references, emails sent to the council, photographs, CCTV footage -everything, but nothing can come close to how extremely unhelpful they where. The moment they heard that it was the council, they crawled into their shell like a crab. I remained homeless fora further 6 months and had to fight and fight to obtain a property . The injustice that i had to endure and was made to feel like i was the preparator and not the victim and Platt who was suppse to protect such injustice failed me on EVERY level all because i would not endure the racial harassment that i suffered at the two properties . I will never recommend this firm to anyone of colour. The worse firm , i would not recommend anyone of race to contact this firm if they are experiencing racial hatred or injustices made by councils

My property purchase was dealt with quickly, efficiently and competently by friendly professional staff. Everyone I dealt with was helpful. The job wasn’t straightforward but it was none the less completed within the fixed price I was given at start. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

We have used Platt & Fishwick to draw up our Wills, and to amend when needed. As we both have children from previous relationships, this was not straight forward. The Wills and Probate team were recommended to us and have been excellent. In all our dealings, we have found the staff friendly, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, giving us very informed and expert advice to help us make our decisions. All actions were expedited swiftly and we never had to wait or chase up anything. We would, and have, recommended to others.

Platt and Fishwick helped me buy my first property, they were recommended to me by a family member who had used their will service. They worked quickly and were helpful and understanding that I had no clue what I was doing so advised of the process and what was happening in a way I could understand. They were very thorough and spotted some issues in the deeds that could cause me problems when I go to sell, issues that previous solicitors hadn't spotted, and they put things in place to sort them out for me.

We used Platt and Fishwick when purchasing our first property as first time buyers, and we found the help and process very easy and straight forward with excellent communication from everyone. Would definitely use your services again. Thanks so much!

Efficient, empathetic, but staying professional with clear, common sense advice. I went in to make my will with my head in a muddle, but was put at ease and all my wishes were put on paper clearly and concisely. Highly recommended.

Terrible!!! Avoid at all COSTS if they had 0 stars they would get this. We are complaining to Solicitor Regulator Authority about Platt and Fishwick as they handled our case appallingly and are still handling now due to us complaining about them they are dragging our case out so we pay as much money to them as possible. They are just after your money and don't care about your case at all. Terrible service from them. I wish we would of read the reviews first!!!
Avoid - Read all the reviews before we wish we did!!!!
Personal injury
18/10/19 - Reviewed by Robert
Do NOT use this law firm for your personal injury claim . They totally messed up my genuine claim for an injury sustained at work . Put my claim in the wrong category and caused it to go to court ! The defendants solicitors knew they had messed up and even suggested I dye my own solicitor . In fact my own solicitor even informed me of my right to sue him and in the end had to forgo his fee . Lazy attitude towards my claim got the impression he was only in it for his pay out . Seriously incompetent in my opinion and will not look after your best interests . I also had the distinct impression that the council who represented me was trying to protect his incompetence .

Absoulute joke!!! No messages returned. And 4 years down the line for a divorce and finances and it is still ongoing and no children involved. Terrible service and would most defiantly not recommend.
