Couldn’t have done it without them

Merve and Al-Amin were so incredibly helpful to us during the entire visa process from start to finish. We first met Al-Amin in person, and we quickly realized that we wanted to go with Amicus Law to help get my spouse visa. The case was eventually switched to Merve, and both of them were so helpful. They answered all of our questions (there were many), and their email responses were timely. Their answers were always clear, and they made the whole process seem so easy. We’re glad that we listened to their advice leading up to actually applying for the visa. My visa was approved with no issues, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We originally spoke to many different solicitors and lawyers, trying to find the right fit for us, and we didn’t feel comfortable or confident until we met with Al-Amin and Merve. We could not recommend Amicus Law more, and we would choose them again when reapplying in the future. Thank you!

Dear Amanda and Tom, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our team throughout your visa process. We understand how important and sometimes overwhelming these applications can feel, so it’s wonderful to know that we were able to make the process clear and manageable for you. Providing clear advice and timely support is something we pride ourselves on, and it’s great to hear that this made a difference for you. It was our pleasure to help you secure your spouse visa, and we’re so pleased that you felt comfortable and confident with us from the very start. Should you ever need further assistance in the future, whether for a renewal or anything else, we’ll be here to help. Wishing you both all the very best for this next chapter together. Kind regards Amicus Law

Excellent conveyancing experience

My experience with Amicus Law was excellent throughout. Despite being incredibly busy, Julie, Marie and JoJo were on top of my case and proactive in chasing the other side. Any questions I had were answered very quickly. When my solicitor wasn’t available, I was made aware well ahead of time and another solicitor was well informed. It was great to have direct contact with my solicitor. Everyone I spoke to at Amicus Law was extremely helpful and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm. Many thanks again.

Sale of Shared Ownership Property - Reliable, Helpful & Great Service

My husband and I just recently sold our 50% shared ownership house with Heylo Housing and we appointed Amicus Law as our solicitor to assist us due to their experience and expertise in this field.

The completion of the sale took slightly longer than expected but Amicus Law's legal team has always kept us in the loop on what is happening and which stage of the process we are in. They communicate well and clear.

Upon completion, there was a slight error in the completion statement due to information given inaccurately by Heylo's solicitor, however Fran Dyer and Gary Voysey at Amicus Law, the Shared Ownership Legal team identified the error very quickly and also resolved it very quickly to avoid further delays.

I would highly recommend Amicus Law based on my personal experience. They have been amazing throughout. If I had any question, I could give them a ring and chat or email and they response very quickly too.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Fran Dyer, Linda Perry and Gary Voysey for supporting the sale of our shared ownership property. Thank you so much.

Your kind words about our Shared Ownership Legal team mean a lot to us, and we’re so grateful you took the time to share your experience.

Worse experience for buying a house - would not use again

My solicitor would not take my calls or return emails. A standard footer basically asks you to leave them alone. It was unacceptable. The only time he actually called me was to tell me the house was mine on completion date. Total lack of communication throughout. Very very disappointed because I also used them to sell a property, and from a sales perspective, the lady who managed my account was absolutely fabulous. It really was a case of complete opposites with the service.

A representative from Amicus Law Solicitors responded to this review on 06 August, 2024:

Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologise for the lack of communication you experienced during your property purchase. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we are truly sorry for any frustration this may have caused. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with our team during the sale of your property, and we regret that this was not mirrored in your recent interaction. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail and ensure that any issues are addressed. Please feel free to contact our Head of Professional Standards, Belinda Pennington directly at belinda.pennington@amicuslaw.co.uk. She would be more than happy to assist you further. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services. Kind regards AmicusLaw
