3 reviews (2/5) and information for Watkins Solicitors Incorporating Brain Sinnott & Co, 192 North Street, Bedminster, Bristol

22/07/21 - Reviewed by Horrendous and Expensive experience.

I endured the most dreadful and unnecessarily protracted House Conveyancing after instructing this grossly inefficient, ineffective and unprofessional Office full of clowns. Everything started off extremely well, I received a very acceptable letter of introduction, a competitive quote and I even spoke by telephone with my allotted Solicitor. She left me reassured and confident that I would be well served. Unfortunately and tragically that lady at first contracted Covid and then had a family bereavement. My matters then fell off a cliff and I went from an apparent priority to total irrelevance in the blink of an eye and the whole Firm appeared to collapse. I had to resort to contacting the buyers solicitor directly, calling and paying the Fees to Leaseholders and doing all the chasing. It was a good job that I have experience of these matters as I did all the work on behalf of Watkins, their Office did nothing apart from very annoyingly keep mislaying my documents.
I called, wrote and visited Watkins Offices, spoke with their Office Manager and the Senior Partner to complain. I was met with blank stares, blunt ignorance and offensive comments but never a reply. The ignorance started at the top and the staff merely mirrored their employers crass attitude.
The most odious Firm I have ever had the misfortune to ever instruct, they made incompetence an art form and caused me massive financial losses.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Exceptional service from the beginning Camella Cephas went above and beyond she went through my case with a fine toothed comb and delivered real results she left me feeling I was in very capable hands, I could not recommend her
enough. I also had help from Joanne Davies who was so down to earth and full of passion for her job, these two ladies are who you need if you have a case that is truly complex and you want stand out solicitors working on your behalf!

They advise clients to ignore court orders in order to win court cases adding to the emotional abuse of children, and raping the legal aid system for all its worth! Its because of scrupulous solicitor firms like these that the government had to claw back legal aid funding which only results in more and more innocent and under privileged people not able to use the legal system to defend themselves.38746
