PROFESSIONAL CARING AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL

I cannot thank Rebecca Dean enough for all her help and support in dealing with my late father's estate. She guided me throughout with great professionalism, patience and understanding. Rebecca also dealt with a Deed of Variation for me, explaining everything clearly. I felt that nothing was too much trouble for Rebecca. She was approachable, helpful and extremely efficient at all times. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Rebecca Dean and Nelson's solicitors to anyone needing any help with an estate or similar matters. I am extremely grateful for the work she carried out for me.

Excellent and personal service throughout our dealings with Tom Glenister to create our new ‘Wills and Discretionary Trust’. It was particularly reassuring to know that Tom has a personal interest and knowledge of people with learning disabilities. His help and understanding has given us the confidence that our concerns and hopes for our son’s future will be taken care of.

The accounts department and the solicitors communication could do with working more efficiently with improved communication. I’ve had to make contact I unnecessarily as a result . Thank you very much Glynis and Nadia for your exceptional professionalism and support. Kindest regards , Dixie.

Thank you Naomi

We (my daughter & I) instructed Naomi to act on my daughters behalf for her divorce proceedings and we would wholeheartedly recommend Naomi to anyone who find themselves in this position. From the beginning we had confidence in Naomi and this was demonstrated by her ability to communicate very clearly and accurately the process along with her knowledge, recommendations and meticulous attention to detail. The divorce concluded successfully and whilst my daughters situation looked relatively straight forwards, Naomi was able to navigate the inevitable issues that came to light.

Clinical Negligence

Truly remarkable solicitor

Danielle has been fantastic right from the moment she took on my case . She really listened to how I had suffered due to clinical negligence during a private operation and totally understood what I was going through. She displayed great sensitivity and empathy towards me when we spoke. The case was very challenging as I had no support from any of the medical profession who I had asked for help. For someone who didn't know me before we spoke she showed great trust and belief in me. During the case I came to understand more about what had gone wrong during the operation which helped me deal with the situation. There were times when even the experts she recruited were not fully supportive but she kept on with steely determination . Eventually a successful outcome was achieved and Danielle should be very proud of herself for the expertise with which she handled the case. It has been a great comfort to me to have someone fighting in my corner and I will be eternally grateful .

Very disappointing experience so far with Nelsons Law. They were instructed to deal with my remortgage, but I have had to chase them simply to establish whether my file has even been opened and is being progressed. I had received no request for payment or information, yet when I chased for an update I was told to refer to correspondence supposedly sent on 18 September. I checked my emails and could not find this correspondence. What is particularly frustrating is that if information was outstanding, nobody appeared to follow up with me to request it. With my current mortgage deal expiring on 23 November, I should not have to repeatedly chase a conveyancing firm just to get the process moving. At this stage, the communication and proactive management of my remortgage have been extremely poor. I will update this review depending on how Nelsons handles the matter from here.

I cannot recommend Joanne Jones at Nelsons Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, Joanne was absolutely outstanding throughout the purchase of my home. She was always clear, concise and professional in her communication, keeping me fully informed at every stage of the process. What can often be a stressful experience was made seamless thanks to her expertise, efficiency and attention to detail. Beyond her professional knowledge, Joanne's cheerful, energetic and approachable personality made a real difference. She was always happy to answer questions and provide reassurance when needed, making the entire home-buying journey feel straightforward and manageable. Thank you, Joanne, for your exceptional service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers an outstanding experience.

I have been working with Nelsons for around 8 weeks and I have been very happy with the services provided, the communication and transparency through the whole process has made it all stress free, thanks to Dhamini Patel and Aleksandra Ścibor. Aleksandra was amazing and has been very helpful with her being able to explain things to us in Polish. Dhamini made sure the whole process was very speedy and prompt and I appreciate that. The price of the whole service was very adequate and reasonable, many thanks again, definitely would reccomend Nelsons
