About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Preparation of my Will
I wish to record that I am completely happy with the service I have received from McKeag & Co My Solicitor, Lucy Girdlestone, has been very supportive and efficient and has kept me forever clear on what I needed to do to ensure that my Will fully reflected my wishes Lucy has filled me with confidence and I am really appreciative of her support. I am happy that my Will is now completed and that I can relax knowing that it has been professionally implemented. McKeag & Co has served me well over many years now, over a number of issues, and I am indebted to them for their excellent service. Trevor Cox

Redoing our wills
We got our wills redone . It was a good professional service and we were able to do the consultation onTeams which saved a trip to the office ( and as it happened allowed things to go ahead despite the fact that I had developed Covid )

Lasting Powers of Attorney
Lasting Powers of Attorney set up recently. I attended this firm with wife and two sons to set up LPAs for Property and Finance and health and Welfare. The process was explained very clearly by a very knowledgeable and helpful solicitor.

Power of Attorney
I have used McKeag & Co for as far back as i can remember buying houses, writing my will and now my Power of Attorney. Lucy was very professional, polite and courteous. Very understanding with the many changes I made and my indecisiveness, due to questions from family members. The service was second to none. I would highly recommend Mckeag & Co to anyone.

I can thoroughly recommend McKeag & Co - I have used them for my will and related issues. Lucy Girdlestone and her team have been excellent and most efficient. The company also acted for me with the recent sale of my property and, again, the service was exemplary.
