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.

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

Peace of Mind

Amicus law recently handled the sale of my business including the reassignment of the office lease. Brett England and James Armstrong were very helpful and handled the whole process without a hitch giving me great peace of mind.

Very supportive, precise and really grounded.

This review is for a different branch.

I have recently gone through a turbulent divorce and the team particularly Sophie at Amicus Law have been invaluable. Very knowledgeable and precise with actions, outcomes and negotiations with settlement outside of a court. As this can be an extremely difficult time, she has always supported me and assisted in the navigation of the end result, to achieve best for all parties working professionally with other legal professionals with moments of disagreements. Navigating this with me to achieve the end result. Now I have the opportunity to move on, finalising the divorce with gratitude to rebuild my home, life and have a stable footing my children’s future and my own. Thank you to Sophie and the team. I would highly recommend for a quick and effective service for the challenges that life presents to us all.

This review is for a different branch.

Dealing with the estate of a deceased member of the family is emotionally draining at the best of times - Nick Bevan, Katriona Lovelock have been great in helping us deal with the potential pitfalls of beneficiaries. In addition the teams of Vicky, Rebecca. Heidi have proved knowledgeable and helpful along the way.
