Absolutely brilliant service from Ben, I couldn't have asked for better!

I wanted to leave this review because I feel so grateful to have had Ben Ireland from Boyes Turner LLP handle my medical negligence claim, and I’m so glad that I made the decision to choose Boyes Turner but even happier that I got to work with Ben specifically. From start to finish, he's been absolutely amazing. Every single question I had, no matter how small or how many times I asked, was answered thoroughly and clearly. He never made me feel like I was asking too much or that I was being a nuisance, and he took the time to explain every single part of the process in great detail, breaking things down so I could process and understand exactly what was happening at each stage. You can really tell how experienced and knowledgeable Ben is, he knows exactly what he’s doing and it shows in everything that he does. He’s professional, reliable, supportive and always on top of things, which gave me peace of mind at what was and continues to be a really difficult time for me. Ben exceeded every single one of my expectations. I went into this feeling worried and unsure, but he guided me through every step with such care and expertise. I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better solicitor, Ben has done an incredible job and I will be forever grateful for everything that he has done. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, I can’t recommend Ben and Boyes Turner highly enough. Thank you so much for everything Ben! You really are brilliant at what you do!

A brilliant support during a stressful time

The service from Boyes Turner has quite simply been outstanding, at the most stressful time in our lives they thoroughly looked after us from start to finish. From a warm coffee and listening ear during meetings, to efficiency and professionalism with the legal formalities. Claire our solicitor obviously had a wealth of legal experience of this this kind but she also had a real insight and understanding of my injuries. She pushed hard to make sure I could access early on rehabilitation that was not available via the NHS, which enabled me to get back to looking after my kids (which was my number one priority). At the beginning my recovery felt bleak but knowing I had Claire and her team in my corner I started to believe I could get some quality of life back, and I really have. Now the case has concluded, I feel closure and satisfaction my case was dealt with by the best and can move forward with my life with no regrets. Thank you Claire and the Boyes Turner Team.

Experts in Cauda Equina

Julie secured an outstanding settlement in my initially contested, spinal cord injury medical negligence claim, where I was not given ‘safety-netting’ advice about cauda equina syndrome (CES). Julie’s knowledge of cauda equina, care standards and medical negligence is without a doubt the reason I was successful. All the way through the process, I was kept informed by friendly, discreet and understanding staff. I don’t feel I would have had the same outcome with anyone else.

First Class Service Professional and Efficient

As an estate agent I deal daily with various solicitors and over 25 years I have probably left just a further 2 reviews as finding a good solicitor is the most important part of any transaction and for me communication and efficiency is key. Every time I contacted Cara she responded quickly and diligently and also the speed of the transaction was quick as she was on it the whole way through. Cara is a solution finder and quick to deal with any issues needing attention. If you are looking for an awesome solicitor that gives you the best service and looking for speed and effectiveness then please do get in touch with Cara as I will have no hesitation to recommend her moving forward.

Thorough, professional and supportive

I have used this firm on a couple of occasions, most recently during a redundancy consultation process, and I have been consistently impressed by the quality of their service. Throughout what can be a stressful and uncertain situation, the team provided clear, practical, and well-considered advice. They took the time to explain my options, answered questions promptly, and ensured I fully understood each stage of the process. Their expertise in employment law was evident, and their guidance gave me confidence that my interests were being properly protected. What stood out most was their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to balance legal expertise with a genuinely supportive approach. Communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously. I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking employment law advice or representation.

Fantastic Service!

I cannot overstate how good a service I received from Boyes Turner during the recent sale of my property. Right from the outset, the team, led by Renika (and notably supported by Tajmin) were ever so professional, knowledgeable, patient and empathetic. I will certainly be using them again!

We used Ellena Balshaw in the Boyes Turner Residential Conveyancing team for our house move, and she was simply brilliant. What should have been a straightforward transaction became far more challenging due to a difficult buyer who pulled out, returned, and then appointed an extremely slow firm on their side. Their admin-led approach caused repeated delays, with decisions unable to progress without solicitor sign-off, despite Ellie clearly communicating our fixed completion dates. At the same time, our sellers were keen to move quickly as they were leaving the country. Throughout the process, Ellie kept us regularly and clearly informed about where things stood, the position with both our buyer and seller, and exactly what we needed to do next. She also proactively liaised with our estate agents and other parties to keep everyone aligned, meaning we were fully prepared and ready to proceed ahead of others. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone buying or selling a property.

Moved home many times and have seen good and bad conveyances. But never Outstanding…. Until now. Ellie Balshaw took over from the brilliant Stella Perry and hit the ground running. Her help, advice and overall support were such an important part of making a difficult situation seem easy. Ellie was a star. Thanks Ellie.

We had a fairly complex purchase with a lot of back and forth, and throughout the entire process Renika and Tajmin were professional, responsive, and reassuring. They guided us clearly at every stage, kept things moving, and were always available when questions came up. Their calm approach and attention to detail made a stressful process much easier, especially in the final stages leading up to completion. We truly appreciated the support and would happily recommend them.

We instructed Boyes Turner LLP in connection with our late father’s intestate estate, as they came highly recommended by Hooper’s International Genealogists. Initially we were advised by Hooper’s, that the procedure for a straightforward uncomplicated case such as ours would take approximately 9 months. That said we mentally allowed for a year. In effect it was all of 2 years before it was finally settled and that after copious inexplicable delays of one sort and another. We were dealing with a solicitor who only worked three days a week, who was frequently on leave without any cover except in an emergency, always at a time when immediate action was called for - thus causing further delays. And who was very slow on occasions in answering correspondence. We got the general impression that every possible delaying excuse was being employed after the property was sold and the monies paid into their account. As in, never mentioned prior, asking if we would like to place an advertisement in the London Gazette that anyone claiming to be owed money by the deceased come forward - this would run for a period of 2 months and one day. Why wasn’t this done months before? We were initially advised by Hooper’s that an insurance policy had been put in place to cover us in the unlikely event that a hitherto unknown claimant might appear, but had not been advised that this only applied for the duration of the legal proceedings. And that therefore, we were not covered. A clear case of not what was said, but what was not. So why after close on three months after the sale of the property which was tantamount to finalizing the entire proceedings, were we advised of the advisability of taking out a policy against the sudden appearance of any missing beneficiary? No doubt the pursuit of such action would have resulted in a further delay in final settlement! Finally and most painfully, settlement was made. Shortly afterwards we realized that no interest on either the contents of the deceased’s bank account or the property sale - for the 3 months - had been included! On querying this and after further chasing, the due interest was duly paid. No explanation was offered as to this omission despite our requesting one which in effect has been completely ignored. Had we not picked this up there is little doubt in our minds that this would never have been paid. Would we recommend this company - no way! Instead our recommendation should you choose to avail yourselves of it would be to go to your local solicitor and seek advice ensuring that the procedure be fully explained to you in its entirety before you take any further action Posted on the behalf of Colin

Dear Jackie We are very sorry to read your feedback and are currently investigating the issues raised by you as a formal complaint and will write to you separately. We are aware that Probate matters can often be protracted as a result of matters beyond our control and that where property sales are involved much will depend upon the speed with which buyers are able to proceed, based upon their own chain.
