I have had very good experience with Bank Solicitors in the one meeting I have had so far.
The frontline staff are pleasant and welcoming. The senior Partner Stephen is very warm and approachable. He is very patient with your Queries and very generous with his time.
I have dealt with other Solicitors before and sometimes have been left disillusioned But Banks and Stephen have restored my faith in the legal profession!

I filled in a form and called the bank solicitor last Wednesday about making an appointment. Hayley was the lady talking with me over the phone. She is really nice, patient and listened to my concerns. She shows sympathy. I really had good impression on the company. Then an appointment was made on Friday at 10.30am at my convenience. It was supposed to be half an hour free consultation. The professional solicitor Stephen talked with me about my concerns. He answered all my questions and made it clear what I need to do next and did not charge me even we talked more than half an hour. I was really touched and grateful. He is really knowledgeable, experienced and honest. In my case, he told me which part I need him to work on and which part I can do it by myself. I feel like he is like my father, caring about my case although we met the first time. He looks serious but he has a good heart. He suggested some ideas from father's talking and some ideas from a solicitor's talking. He shows emphathy. I don't think I will meet such a nice solicitor in my life again. Many thanks from my deep heart. 🙏🙏🙏I will definitely recommend Stephen. Lin

Whilst all the other solicitors I contacted about my case seemed more interested in detailing charges and handing out next to no advice Stephen went above and beyond on my initial call. He was informative, detailed and really seemed genuine to help me. This is how to conduct business. Trust is key!

Stephen warmth and experience from the my initial consultation is why chose Bank Solicitors. I received great service, good communication throughout the process of selling our property. Would highly recommend Bank Solicitors to anyone needing a solicitor for any purpose.
