Lyndsey listened without interrupting. Very warm & friendly. Placed me at ease within minutes. Knowledgeable & efficient. Fixed price quoted at the start, and invoice as quoted. Though £498.00 to produce my Will, expensive. Will use again. Thanks to Lyndsey.

The process of updating our wills

The staff we dealt with were all very polite and personable. We were disappointed that there were obvious errors in the first draft. There was a long delay after that and by the time it came to signing the wills Chris was seriously ill and was in fact admitted to hospital as an emergency a few days later, 3 months after our first meeting with Adam. The whole process has taken over 3 Months. Thankfully Chris is making a speedy recovery thanks to the amazing NHS and the pacemaker they fitted so promptly and efficiently.

Lauren dealt with all aspects of my father's estate recently and from start to finish i couldn't be happier! Probate wasn't quite as straight forward as it should have been but Lauren made it look easy! Having never dealt with legalities after the passing of a relative before I was somewhat naive and bemused by it all! Lauren really made everything as simple as possible throughout the whole process, her communication was always prompt, her explanations detailed but 'idiot' proof! Hopefully I won't require Lauren's services again for a while, but when I do i now know she'll make the whole process as easy as possible to deal with 😊

I have used Nigel Mills 3 times now over the last 7 years or so, all my family use him too for their property purchases, Nigel is the go to Conveyancer in my family! I am always extremely happy with the service Nigel provides, he’s attention to detail and personable approach to the buying and selling process. Nigel has been able to get two purchases through very quickly for me the last few years, he is aware I battle with a disability which makes my need for a suitable home paramount, needing a smooth transition between sale and purchase. Which he has always made sure to make happen which really has made my life considerably better, I’m now in my forever home which meets all my health requirements and in an accessible location. None of this would’ve been possible without Nigel and his hard work, prioritising the need for my move quickly. I will always recommend Nigel to friends for any conveyancing needs, I have nothing but good things to say about the service Nigel provides. I will continue to use Amicus Law until Nigel retires! Nigel even recommended his colleague to sort my Will, this was hassle free and reasonably priced. Thank you Amicus Law and Nigel Mills!

We used Amicus Law to sort out my dear friends grant of probate. I attended the Martock office and was looked after by Zara. We were given a clear breakdown of costs and time frame. Zara dealt with us sensitively at a very difficult time. Communication was great and she took a huge burden off of us. Thank you ☺️ I highly recommend Amicus Law and would consider using again should we need legal assistance.

I want to thank Shona and Adam so much for all they have done for my mum and stepdad over the past couple of days! After being left very much out of pocket with a botched will by a different practice and my mum’s recent terminal diagnosis, they needed a will that worked as they wanted it to. Adam and Shona not only expedited the will, they were kind, warm, considerate and more importantly they made sure my mum and my Stepdad were listened to and they understood everything that was going on. I could not recommend them enough or be be grateful to them.

Needed a form to be witnessed quickly. My wife called Amicus and the lady on reception couldn’t have been nicer. They would have done it straight away, but the traffic was just too bad to get there quick enough. They saw us the next day and we got the form witnessed and signed. The solicitor couldn’t have been more friendly. I only wish I’d found them before I appointed my solicitor for conveying. Thank you Amicus great service Oh yes one more thing, they only charged £5

Communications Issues

Whilst we were generally happy with the conveyancing process the overall house buying experience with Amicus was severley let down by their poor communication systems. Occasionally, no phones are answered at all (even with the SW area ring round system they use). They have a messaging system that can be so full that it cannot take further messages. Either the reception and conveyancer assistant system (if there is one?) is broken, or there is a severe technical issue with the telephones. Reducing costs in this critically important area is self defeating. Amicus management must give a much higher priority to keeping buyers informed regularly and enabling them to contact the conveyancer, or an assistant, or leave a message, without placing obstacles in their way. Until they do we cannot wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is buying a house.

This was my first time buying a house by myself, and I was absolutely terrified going into the process! Emily and Jasmine were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They were kind, patient, incredibly helpful and always took the time to explain things and answer my questions, which made what could have been a very stressful experience so much easier. They managed to handle both an equity release and the purchase of my new home, getting everything completed within just a few months. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better support throughout the whole process. I’m so grateful to Emily and Jasmine for making such a huge milestone in my life feel much less daunting. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. And as a lovely final touch, when I moved into my new home I received a handwritten card from them both. I thought that was incredibly sweet and really summed up how thoughtful and personal their service was. It was such a lovely gesture and one I’ll definitely remember!
