Helped alleviate the stress from dealing with employment law case

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!

Excellent Service

I recently used Coodes for legal advice regarding an Employment Settlement Agreement and couldn't be more satisfied with the service received. All meetings were conducted via Teams, which was incredibly convenient, no travelling required, and everything ran smoothly from the comfort of home. The advice provided was clear and straightforward throughout the entire process. Every available option was carefully explained before any decisions were made, which gave me full confidence that I was making the right choice for my situation. The whole experience was stress-free and professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend Coodes to anyone in need of expert employment law advice.

This person is not a Solicitor

Bernadette is not a solicitor and is in fact a paralegal - although she introduced herself to us as an “Associate Solicitor”. She sought to charge us £315 an hour (paralegal rate is £142 an hour) for total work of £30,000 when the website said would cost £3,000 - £4,000. They refused to provide a breakdown of costs. We complained to the firm and Sarah Cornish who took no action and had to escalate to the Regulators.

A representative from Coodes LLP responded to this review

We are disappointed to read this review. We should note that the reviewer is not a client of this firm. We act for the court-appointed independent administrator of an estate, of which the reviewer is a beneficiary. A formal complaint was raised, thoroughly investigated by our Complaints Partner, and rejected in full, with detailed written reasons. We are not able to discuss the specifics further, but we do not recognise the account given here. We would also address the suggestion that our colleague misrepresented her professional status. She is a Chartered Paralegal regulated by CILEX, a recognised legal qualification. The title Associate reflects an internal seniority grade at this firm, held by both legal and non-legal staff, and is not a professional designation. At no point did she describe herself as a solicitor. If the reviewer wishes to pursue matters further, the Legal Ombudsman is available to her.

Terrible... Arrived 20 minutes early for a scheduled 2pm meeting. After 50 minutes of waiting, there was still no sign of the solicitor becoming available, or justification given for the delay. The whole experience was very unprofessional. Lots of gossiping going on in the waiting area by the staff which inspired no confidence in the business as a whole or their ability to handle our business. We walked out...

Dear Mr Holmes We are sorry to note your comments. Could we ask you to telephone Mr Alistair Whyte through our freephone number 0800 328 3282 so that we may investigate further. Kind regards. Coodes

Housing & Property

Sale and Purchase

Lianne recently handled a sale and purchase for us. We had non stop issues with our buyers solicitors and various other issues with the property we were purchasing. Lianne was excellent throughout the entire process. Always keeping us up to date with progress and any questions we had were answered very quickly. Constantly chasing for us to make sure that we could get exchanged and completed on a short time frame. We are now in our new home and received a very nice email this morning to wish us well in our new home.

Housing & Property

Selling a property

Truly excellent support. I was told that I would be supported to sell my property as quickly as possible. This was true to their word. The house sell took unexpectedly over 10 months to come to fruition and I was supported through the emotional turmoil. Excellent solicitor that you can feel confident in. I’m very grateful to them.

Thank you for this incredibly honest and heartfelt review. A 10-month sale is an absolute marathon, and it can be a massive emotional rollercoaster. Congratulations on finally closing this chapter, and all the very best for the future!
