How Woodfines LLP Compares
Value for money
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 Woodfines LLP on ReviewSolicitors.
As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using ABC Law. These questions include:

- Overall experience

Always On The Ball!
I didn't know what to expect, but Jane Anderson showed a very genuine interest, was completely, even "forensically" aware of all aspects of the case, spotting facts and drawing inferences that I had missed.
I can say, without exaggeration, that I have total confidence in her. In the unfortunate event that I should need a criminal lawyer again, I would not even consider anyone else.
All that and she is a good egg too!

Collected on:
Poor communication
I initially appointed Woodfines Milton Keynes office to act on my sale & purchase based upon the strength of the reviews on here. My purchase was a new build with a tight exchange deadline set by the builder and I asked if this was a problem before instruction, and on the basis of the answer received I instructed Woodfines.
Communication was poor from the beginning after instruction and it became clear nearly half way towards the deadline things were not progressing at the required pace to meet the exchange deadline. When I managed to speak to my conveyancer rather than attempt to address my concerns their suggestion was that I find another firm, which I did.
Perhaps I was just unlucky but please be aware that the marketing materials on the website around Woodfines solicitors being approachable may not necessarily be correct, and based upon my experience Woodfines do not seem suitable for conveyancing of new build properties where the builder sets an exchange deadline.

Great Advice and Service
Helen talked my husband and I through the creation of our Wills. She covered all the bases and ensured that everything was explained to us in an understandable manner.
Each stage of the process was handled efficiently and effectively, with a friendly smile and cheery voice to boot. We have put off writing our Wills for a very long time, but Helen made the whole process so easy we don’t know why we waited!

I used Woodfines Solicitors when I was made redundant and were very good at explaining the full document and were very proactive with both myself and my old employer. Communication and the speed of responses was very fast and efficient, all in all an excellent experience. 10/10

Taking into account all aspects of their service I can give no points in communication accuracy, responding, being accurate, providing documents or on time, dismissive, diversity is an issue, mistakes, looking after your interests. Senior partners and head of departments give you a metaphoric finger if you raise a concern and dont bother even responding. Not just "not very good", but they really don't care, a real eye opener to the reality of what a law firm can get away with, a firm 0/10
