Excellent service from Lyons Bowe

We instructed Lyons Bowe to draw up mirror wills. From start to finish communication was responsive, clear, professional and friendly. Our online meeting with solicitor Lauren Downs worked really well and we felt immediately at ease. Lauren was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend Lauren and Lyons Bowe and we would definitely use again.

Jess is a star!

Although the experience took longer than expected, as soon as I was passed onto Jess the whole process became that bit smoother. Jess is a credit to the company and always replied whenever I had a question. Keep up the good work Jess, I’m sure someone else will have the pleasure of working with you soon.

Very poor experience with this firm. Instructed for purchase of a flat in Bristol, first time buyers. We had several issues, including incorrect paperwork being sent, multiple typos in the legal documentation being sent to us (we suspect they were not checking these documents before sending them), crucial information being missed/ not making us aware of issues (subsidence, flooding, stuctural issues etc.) forms being sent that weren't completed in full, enquiries not being passed on, miscommunications between our solicitors and the vendors' solicitors and the solicitor managing our case leaving the company with no warning, and no hand over.

The issues we had using this firm are part of the reason we had to withdraw from the property purchase after 5 and a half months. It has caused significant distress to us as well as the vendor. Would not recommend.

I contacted Lyons Bowe Solicitors for a property purchase as a first time buyer with LISA deposits. After onboarding, my file was moved from team to team as progress was being made, which some people might find unusual, but the transition was seamless on my end and every single team did a stellar job. Everybody was very professional, extremely prompt with replies and helped facilitate a completion in 5 weeks from initial contact. From Elijah Phibben (onboarding) to Claire Ford (searches) and Beth Ingham, Tietia Shotton, Zoe Spencer (exchange and completion), every single one was a pleasure to work with. The app they provide is very handy in viewing file information, a to-do list for the client and keeping up with progress. I will gladly recommend them going forward.

Holly's experience...

Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

A very disappointing service, with a few exceptions such as Lauren.

Some shocking mistakes made by both a solicitor and legal assistant(s).

More solicitor contact, with continuity, would be one improvement.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
