Value for money
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.

House purchase and Sale
The whole experience was handled with professionalism and great care. Moving home is one of the most stressful things you will ever do, so it was extremely reassuring that Tolhurst were there at all times to smooth things along

More stress than needed
We had most dealings with Dan at the southend branch. One of the worst experiences we've had with a solicitor. I should have known when the very first contact had the wrong name on the documents, however, things got worse as time moved on. The lack of care and communication was shocking. We were chased for documents we had sent months previous, delays were caused by not responding to bottom chain queries early on. The final completion statement had the wrong purchase amount on it, there was 5k left off the final figure owed back to us. I do wonder what might have happened to that money If we hadn't queried it, but the final fun part for us was finding out they had "miscalculated" the final figure, for us to find out we then had to pay close to £400 extra they hadn't accounted for. My final email complaint about this has still yet to be answered but in 8 weeks I'll be taking the complaint to the regulating authority and legal ombudsman. We paid to have all this taken care of and was let down massively. But rest assured, they didn't forget the nearly £500 they charged for our first buyer pulling put of the sale.

Dan Fielding-Smith
Dan Fielding-Smith has acted for me as a buyer and a seller. He has been absolutely brilliant and outstanding. He has taken away all the stress and kept me updated constantly. And questions I had was answered immediately and explained in full. I will always highly recommend Dan, I hope he gets the recognition and rewards he highly deserves
