ZERO COMPASSION !!!

I paid a couple of expensive bills to GILSON GRAY solc and decided to start a monthly payment plan ! I became critically ill and called them to ask could I pay most of the monthly account and the remainder the following week , they flatly refused !! I was then rushed to hospital unresponsive and had an emergency life saving opration I was unable to walk and spent two months in hospital I advised them of my circumstances but they started court proceedings against me causing further distress and expense while I was trying to recover !! They have shown zero compassion I dont agree with their client care and suppor policy it is non existent all they care about is getting their highly questionable and hugely expensive accounts paid !! Be prepared to expect that !!!

high quality work

David Gray at the firm has been excellent. His advise was clear; assured; knowledgeable; and easy to understand. Phone calls and emails were both friendly and professional. David took on board straight away my questions and knew exactly what was at issue. It was also easy to get in touch with David. He was available to help and quick to respond. All paper work and admin matters were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The billing structure at Gilson Gray was also transparent and reasonable. With Assistance from Gilson Gray we were able to tackle the matter I needed help with and brought it to a successful resolution.

Debt Recovery Instruction

I am a lawyer who specialises in personal injury litigation. I instructed Gilson Gray to recover a significant sum of damages, together with expenses, which had been granted for a client by court decree against an uninsured defender. The defender was avoiding any attempt to make payment personally. The matter was dealt with by David Alexander and David Gray. The service provided by both was impeccable : fast, efficient and and courteous. A pro-active and vigorous approach to recover the sums due. Very professional. I was delighted, as was my client, that all sums due by way of damages and expenses were recovered within a very short timeframe. I would highly recommend Gilson Gray in respect of any debt recovery related matter.

Over £10k paid within 4 days!

I instructed David Alexander and David Gray to recover a debt due under an English Judgment on 03/12/2024. We agreed that, given the debt of over £10k and how slow the English Courts can be to provide a Certificate of Money Provisions, that an insolvency demand letter be issued by the Sheriff, based on the Judgment Order. This was issued to the Sheriff and served on 04/12/2024/05/12/2024, and resulted in a very quick turnaround for my client, as payment was then received in full on 09/12/2024. Great result on a debt that is long overdue!

Alan Craig is a true gent

Alan was a calming and meticulous ally who made the stressful experience that was a convoluted mess of boundary issues and poor service from the other side’s solicitors into a reassuringly solid and timely experience. He responded at all hours to all correspondence and persisted beyond expectations.

If I could give less than one star I would,my buyer is going to be homeless as he made the mistake of using this company,they ignore emails didn't do their job and queried something in November which should have been dealt with in August, I will have to put the house back on the market depriving a family of their new home due to only what can be called complete incompetence, I suggest that this company tries to remember that it's people's lives and not just a job, they should hang their heads in shame and cease trading as they do not provide the service they advertise

Do not listen to any of these 5 star reviews. I am a developer over 15 years in the game. My buyers, unfortunately went with this firm and as a result they have missed 2 completion dates, do not respond to my solicitors as to the reasons why and are completely and utterly incompetent at their jobs. I shall be reporting to the governing board to request an enquiry investigation to get these clowns struck off as solicitors. DO NOT INSTRUCT THIS FIRM.

Great, professional and reassuring service

Michaela and the team have been absolutely outstanding throughout our sale and purchase. What could have been a stressful process was made genuinely smooth and straightforward thanks to their clear communication, efficiency, and calm guidance at every stage. Michaela in particular has been amazing: always proactive, always reassuring, and always one step ahead. She kept everything moving, explained things in a way that made sense, and made us feel completely supported from start to finish. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly goes above and beyond.

A representative from Gilson Gray Llp responded to this review

Thank you, Zabrina, for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear that Michaela and the team helped make your sale and purchase feel smooth and straightforward. Clear communication and reassuring guidance can make such a difference during what can otherwise be a stressful process. Thank you for choosing Gilson Gray, and we wish you all the best in your new home. Best wishes, Gilson Gray

Exceptional service - highly recommended

I cannot recommend Gilson Gray highly enough, and in particular Ashley Baber, who was absolutely fantastic throughout my conveyancing process. I was dealing with some very difficult circumstances at the time and had an extremely short timeframe in which I needed to complete the sale. At the outset, I genuinely didn’t think it would be possible , but I completely underestimated Ashley’s expertise, determination and ability to get things done. From start to finish, Ashley was incredibly attentive. Her communication was exceptional and she consistently kept me informed of progress. What I particularly appreciated was her ability to clearly explain any risks, potential issues and realistic outcomes as we went along. This allowed me to make informed decisions and manage anything I needed to do at my end quickly and effectively. I’ll admit that choosing Gilson Gray felt like a bit of a risk initially, as I had previously used another firm that I knew and which was more cost-effective. However, I can say without hesitation that I made absolutely the right decision. The level of service I received was worth every penny, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Ashley was assigned to my case. During what was already a very difficult and stressful period for me personally, having someone so professional, responsive and dependable handling the conveyancing made an enormous difference. Ashley went above and beyond my expectations and somehow helped achieve something that, at the beginning, I really wasn’t sure was possible. I genuinely could not have been happier with the service I received from Ashley and Gilson Gray. My only regret is that it has taken me this long to write the review, for which I can only apologise! Thank you, Ashley, for everything you did. An absolutely outstanding service from start to finish, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending both Ashley and Gilson Gray.

A representative from Gilson Gray Llp responded to this review

Thank you, Gareth, for such a thoughtful review and recommendation. We’re so pleased to hear that Ashley was able to provide the support and guidance you needed throughout your conveyancing, particularly during what sounds like a challenging time. Having someone responsive, understanding and focused on keeping things moving can make a real difference when circumstances are difficult. Thank you for placing your trust in Gilson Gray. We really appreciate your kind words and wish you all the very best for the future. Best wishes, Gilson Gray

Professional service , always polite and helpful when contacted. Once information was available to be shared it was, however a little frustrating that the sale took longer than expected due to my buyers solicitors, however the process would have been less frustrating if more regular contact had been made to inform me of such. Overall a positive service.

I found that Gilson Gray were very efficient in all aspects of my house purchase. From start to finish I was kept up to date with what was happening and what was needed. Any problems was dealt with and nothing was too much bother for them to sort or work around. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is buying a house. Well done to you.
