As with most Solicitor firms the pace is slow, as the client you have to chase just once too often for updates, however Lisa was very approachable, fair and easy to communicate with. I would use the services again.

Steph and Ivelina were great. We had a call to discuss the case, and from that point Steph kept in contact throughout negotiations with the employer…managed to get the offer increased to a satisfactory resolution in a timely manner. It was the efficient communication that really supported in what is a daunting process that was the stand out in using Steph and Ivelina. Thank you again!

It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that there is very little in life as stressful as moving house. But at least a modicum of that stress can be relieved by instructing a remarkable solicitor, being Kerry Tresidder. Kerry and her team provide an outstanding service, led by professionalism, patience and approachability. Kerry is clearly an expert in the field of residential conveyancing, her legal knowledge is up to date, robust and she has a talent for translating somewhat complex or archaic legal principles into an understandable manner. Her eye for detail is precise and she advocates robustly for her clients. She is obviously well respected by other professionals in the area, a reputation that is clearly well deserved. Communication is clear, timely and concise. Kerry is an outstanding solicitor and a joy to work with.

I cannot speak for the firm as a whole but Melanie Grose from the contentious probate team at Coodes is an outstanding solicitor. Quick to grasp the issues, empathetic and incredibly responsive.

I am writing to express my experience with Coodes concerning the service I received in October 2020 during the purchase of my first home. Regrettably, the service offered by Coodes was subpar. Despite promptly settling the final bill upon conclusion, I was recently surprised to receive communication in April 2024 requesting an additional £215 due to an administrative error that occurred more than 40 months after our business was completed. Though the sum may appear insignificant, I was startled by this unanticipated demand. I chose not to escalate the issue as I perceived no advantage in pursuing it further. I felt compelled to relay my encounter as a word of caution to others who may contemplate engaging with Coodes in the future. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely, Rui

I can highly recommend working with Coodes. Sarah Evans has both represented and supported me throughout my case. Finding Coodes after a previous bad experience with a solicitor was a godsend at a really difficult time in my life. Having a solicitor I could trust made the whole experience far easier. Professional and approachable.

Disappointingly bad experience - I wish I had never used them for a family dispute which, in my opinion, should have gone to mediation. Coodes gave me the hard sell on the phone for over an hour after which I had to be sent home from work. I was given a quote which they said was capped and they wouldn't go over that amount without discussing with me first. They carried unnecessary work that had already been submitted to them by a qualified accountant - and got it all wrong. They then submitted a bill for additional work - presumably they were trying to get their maths to add up - which I refused to pay. They sent me emails addressed to someone else with details of their case. They sent me another bill for work that had been paid for 10 years previously and never completed despite having previously stated in writing that they accepted this bill had already been paid. I sent them further evidence which they ignored despite their customer charter. Their 'complaints department' said they would ensure I was updated. I didn't hear another thing and the work was not completed until I complained to the Legal Ombudsman who also didn't bother to reply but at least there was some action taken. I have just received another letter telling me now that Coodes actually owe me money - obviously maths is not their strong point. What I take from all this is that they clearly don't care about their clients - they are only interested in their extortionate fees. I don't feel they even deserve a one star rating! 1/3/20 - Presumably after intervention from the Ombudsman Coodes finally sent a letter enclosing a cheque for the overpayment from 10 years ago. The only trouble is, they forgot to enclose the cheque 🙄. You couldn’t make it up could you? 😂

I have used Coodes for many years with complete satisfaction. Their staff meets the highest standards. They have lived up to all my expectations dealing with my legal matters.
