I have used Jess multiple times for house sales and our most recent house purchase. She has been amazing from start to finish, managing a very quick purchase in less than 8 weeks. Would definitely recommend her to anyone

Good proffessional service

I have been with Meikles Solicitors for more than 30 years but recently they have restructured and their property conveyancing have moved from Ferryhill office to Bishop Auckland office. Jake Dixon was my main contact and I was delighted with his service and professionalism. I noticed Jake was working outside of business hours on some occations which for a solicitors office was refreshing. Keep up the good work i will certainly continue to use the Bishop Auckland office.

Great service once again

We have worked with Meikles for many years on both a personal and business level, and in many areas including conveyancing. Miss Steinberg is an excellent solicitor who always gives us the confidence that she is working on our side and providing the best outcomes. We can not fail to recognise the years of support we receive from our main contact, Janine, who is diligent, professional and an excellent communicator. Janine makes the legal side of our business an easier area to deal with, ensuring all inquiries are taken care of, thus allowing us to focus on our core business. Janine gives us full confidence that our legal matters are in professional hands and we have someone working alongside our businesses to support us at every step.

Dreadful. Accepted my conveyancing case (a straightforward purchase) and also willingly accepted a £300 (!) fee for initial searches, then decided that they could not proceed with my case as I was selling another property. Baffling as it is common practice to sell a property and purchase another! They then charged me £60 for the privilege for works carried out. Disgraceful customer service. Avoid at all costs.

Used meikles when purchasing a house. From start to finish everyone we spoke to and met was professional, helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had. Would highly recommend. Claire, Nicola and Gemma were exceptional. Could not have asked for a higher standard of service.

I was initally a little dissappointed as could not use my local branch for conveyancing as they were representing the seller so I used the Ferryhill. Branch instead. Wow am I pleased I did.... I can honestly say I'm impressed with the service I have received from Claire Coates as my solicitor and her assistant Nicola. As someone who has lived in the same property for 30yrs to say I was nervous about the thought of moving is an understatement However I can honestly say Nicola was so so supportive and also very prompt at answering any queries I had guiding and reassuring me constantly. Claire on our face to face today was amazing she was so so friendly and informal and very very professional and personal in her manner. I would definitely recommend Meikle at Ferryhill to family and friends in the future given my experience on this occasion

Excellent 5-Star Service

In my opinion, Stephen Hamill’s knowledge of Employment Law is second to none. His professional advice and support was superb and very quickly resulted in an excellent outcome. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Stephen, Lauren and the rest of the team at Meikles Solicitors.

Meikles represented a family member and did everything possible to help them.

My brother was in Bishop Auckland Hospital and being sent to Sunderland for life saving surgery. He needed to make a will urgently and didn't know if a solicitor would go to the hospital. After ringing Meikles Bishop Auckland and speaking to a very nice lady it was organised for Amy Dodds from the Sedgefield branch to visit. Amy was brilliant and had his will made and signed with a follow up visit all in less than a week. The service could not have been better. It was a difficult time but my brother, thankfully, came through the operation and is recovering. This was at the end of February beginning of March. Thank you Amy and Meikles for a brilliant service very reasonably priced.
