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? 😂

Family Law

Fantastic!

I couldn’t recommend Bradley highly enough. I’ll admit, when I first found out how young he was, I was a bit sceptical, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. He was incredibly knowledgeable and always knew exactly what he was talking about. I’ve dealt with a few solicitors over the years, and bradley was the first one who didn’t bury me in legal apeak just to sound clever. He explained everything in a way that actually made sense. I always felt like he really listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand what was important to me. Calm under pressure, persuasive and clearly passionate about what he does. Cornwalls very own Harvey Specter! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a family solicitor.

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.

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!
