How Simpson Solicitors Compares
Value for money
Limited data.
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.
This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Simpson Solicitors on ReviewSolicitors.
As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using Simpson Solicitors. These questions include:
- Value for money (a rating of 1-5)
- How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
- Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
- Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
- Overall experience
We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Probate application still not in after nearly two years
This review is for a different branch.
This firm do not even deserve one star. The service has been absolutely appalling and prospective clients should go elsewhere. Right Legal were instructed in June 2022 to process my mother's straightforward probate application. We have speedily provided all information requested to keep things moving. For no good reason, the development of the probate application has proceeded at slower than snail's pace. We have politely waited weeks sometimes months for updates and these have only been provided after several emails from us. The firm has upheld two formal complaints from me about slow service and poor communication. Finally the papers came through to sign in November 2023 and the firm verified that they had been received back by them and would be sent on. Unbelievably my sister found out yesterday (April 2024) that the application has still not been submitted!!!

Incomplete Will
This review is for a different branch.
Do not use or recommend. They had stored my Mum's incorrectly and upon retrieval was incomplete and was missing a page. Lengthy delay to probate. Poor and unprofessional communication with lack of call backs during a difficult time. Tried charging extra fees on top. Complaint referred to Ombudsman

Really poor service and quality of work.
This review is for a different branch.
The service is shockingly poor. From start to finish it was clear that documents are not checked and there is no qualified solicitor checking the work. The individual looking after our account sent out a letter with their own name spelled wrong. Multiple loops of corrections for basic errors and errors which already asked to correct. Finally thought we were at the end of the process when we received our wills but yet again sent the wrong versions. When I emailed and rang up to complain no one returned the call.

Avoid unless you want a costly drawn out probate
This review is for a different branch.
If I could give Rights zero stars it would be too many. This company took over 2.5 years to do a straight forward probate. We had three different legal advisors. Documents were lost, they were incorrect and try getting them to answer or return your telephone calls - impossible!
Simpsons solicitors added themselves as an executor when updating my dads Will - he had onset dementia and they told him it would be for the best and then told us we needed to use Rights for the Probate. What this resulted in was a costly and extremely drawn out Probate that was handled poorly by Rights. This firm has put our family in great financial and emotional stress. We even reported them to the Legal Ombudsman and won but it still didnt make anything happen any quicker.
Now we are battling with their Document Management Team to get the return of our property docs - its been 4 months so far and they cant even do a simple thing like that correctly.
People giving 5* reviews for the Will service - check it and make sure they havent added themselves in as an executor and if so get it changed immediately and save the sanity of your family.

Will review
This review is for a different branch.
I had the pleasure of a visit from the lovely Jessica this morning from the Derby office. She was very friendly and chatty and completely put me at ease. She answered my questions and explained everything to me clearly so I could understand.
This young lady is going to be a huge asset to your company and if I need legal advice in the future I shall be employing Jessica and recommending her to family and friends.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
This review is for a different branch.
Took 10 weeks to obtain title deeds for my Mums house. First they sent me the wrong form, nobody bothered to tell me until I called them 3 weeks later. Sent in the documents, again nobody bothered to call me. After 2 weeks I rang them (good luck getting through) and on the 8th attempt was told I still needed more documentation which I wasn't told initially, or in the other conversions I had with them. Sent in the required documents and again, nobody called me or acknowledged my email. Rang them 13 times and eventually was told my deeds were there. Arranged to pick them up and the day I went to get them the girl was off sick!! I did get them the same day as I refused to leave without them. Utterly shambolic service from start to finish! Lack of communication and understanding.

Excellent service
This review is for a different branch.
Our wills were held in a solicitor’s close to where we live, the company went into liquidation and was taken over by Simpsons. Their nearest office was 1.5 hours away in Derby. When we needed to make changes to our wills and have power of attorney drawn up we had a home visit from Jessica. She was very knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble she took her time talking us through our options and made sure we understood everything. Would thoroughly recommend this company and Jessica if you are in the Derby area!

We found Simpsons Solicitors very approachable and helpful. Everything was explained clearly and all our questions answered about our Wills and the writing up. Amy-Louise made it all less stressful than we expected and we would recommend Simpsons hands down.
