Michael came to my assistance when I found myself in a situation involving police custody. Having never been involved in anything like this before, I relied heavily on Michael’s professional knowledge and skill, which guided me through the process and ultimately resulted in a positive outcome. Much appreciated.

Woefully inept and incompentant. Alison Sharples at MSB failed to represent me, failed to secure the return of my electronic devices containing evidence critical to case causing unneccesary delay. MSB also failed to source a weapons expert and floundered in court when questioned by the judge as to why they did not do their job. Pathetic and embarrassing watching her squirm and crumble under scrutiny from the judge at sefton magistrates making pathetic excuses for her and her teams laziness, ineptitude and failure to act. Alison also failed to enquire about my legal fishing/outdoor knives/tools with receipts/paperwork that were unlawfully seized because she said they 'look scary' despite being 100% legal and bought from reputable UK retailers like B&Q, screwfix and more. Alison sharples also has a strong political bias and said 'the right is the biggest threat to the country'. If you dont align with Alisons political far left viewpoints she will not represent you to a fair standard. My treatment from MSB has been woeful, they have failed to represent me, ignored my instructions, ignored the law itself regarding the retention of my tools/electronic devices and most importantly simply did not do their job. After raising a formal complaint they said that they would not work with me because I called Alison 'an idiot'. That is simply one of many words to describe Alison and her absolutely shocking and pathetic representation (or lack of) of myself in court. MSB solicitors completely and totally failed me and their failure to act has caused unnessesary suffering and prolonging of the trial. If you have an important legal matter, I highly advise you find a more competent firm if it is an important thing. Do not let these clowns deal with anything important or they might ruin your life. I was also discriminated by Alison and MSB solicitors by them saying I cannot mention my autism in court and 'use it as an excuse'. Having autism is not an excuse, it is a lifelong condition. How brazenly discriminatory. Simply disgusting.

I instructed MSB Solicitors Paul Gallagher when I had false allegations made against me. Paul was extremely quick with his responses and attended the police station at exactly the same time. I was invited in for a voluntary interview about the false and malicious allegations made against me. Paul had read the file and gave me instructions and the police officers response via a prepared statement I would highly recommend MSB Solicitors and Paul Gallagher for any criminal investigation And MSB Solicitors for anything else you need.

I would highly recommend MSB. In particular, my case was handled by Hannah Barlow who was outstanding from the start, kept me well informed and recommended excellent counsel for representation in court. At no point did I have anything but full confidence in MSB and ultimately getting the result we were looking for.

MSB conveyancing services

MSB handled my FTB house purchase and my case was managed by Pamela Chan-Ashraf. The process took around 4 months which was no reflection on Pamela or MSB; various things cropped up on the seller's side that demanded a couple of extra steps. Pamela was pleasant and professional, as were her colleagues Jennifer Cunningham and Helen Backstrom. I have dropped one star from my review as a consequence of Clare Matson, Pamela's third legal assistant, who worked closely albeit not particularly professionally with my purchase. Clare was terse over e-mail, refusing to address me by even my first name in any correspondence, communicating in a way that was unhelpful, short, and cold. Working in corporate myself, this is a truly bizarre style of communication, particularly with clients. Furthermore, Clare was remarkably unclear on several occassions. In one instance in particular, Clare refused to clarify a particular request from the outset, resulting in me having to trawl through numerous documents and emails before 9 AM on a working day. When I fulfilled her poorly outlined request (within the same hour after having to send clarifying questions back and forth), she did not even acknowledge the document that I had sent across. This was hugely unprofessional. Pamela took responsibility for the remainder of the case, for which I was grateful. It is especially interesting that a solicitor can dignify a client with a proper greeting in an e-mail, but a legal assistant cannot.

Above and beyond!

I honestly cannot thank Diane and Alexandra enough for the support they have given me during an incredibly difficult and stressful time. Financial proceedings are overwhelming at the best of times, but throughout the process they have treated me with kindness, patience and understanding, while always remaining professional and honest with me. What has stood out most is that I have never felt like I was simply another case to them. They have genuinely gone above and beyond to help me, particularly in the lead-up to my final hearing. There were times when I was extremely worried and overwhelmed, and their help made a situation that felt impossible much more manageable. They took the time to explain things clearly, helped me understand what I needed to do and made sure I was as prepared as possible. Even when circumstances became difficult, I felt that they genuinely wanted to help me achieve the best outcome I could for myself and my children. I am enormously grateful to both of them for the time, effort and compassion they have shown me. I would recommend Diane and Alexandra without hesitation. Having professionals who are not only knowledgeable but who also show genuine humanity when someone is going through one of the most stressful periods of their life makes an enormous difference. Thank you both. I genuinely won’t forget how much you helped me.

This solicitor has been representing the seller of a property I am purchasing, and I have been shocked at their incompetence. They've caused serious delays in our process, originating from giving the vendor incorrect advice at the beginning of the process. Even simple things like including a correct list of attachments to emails which they have listed they can't do. Abismal.

Would not take on a child abuse case last year. Took all my funding writing letters. It came to getting Legal aid. I wad told i needed proof of demestics. My 15 year old was battard by her mum. Not enough to get legal aid. Now im being told child abuse is enough to get legal aid. So why was it not enough last year when we could of stopped further harm being caused. Waste of time
