About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Excellent Service
I was dealt with professionally and efficiently. Louise was very supportive and was very clear with her advice and that lead to an outcome which was better than the advice suggested usually happens. Therefore, I am delighted with the service.

Excellent Lawyer
Darren Young helped me in my case and gave me support from.start to finish. It took quite a few months and Darren's communication and advice was priceless. He helped me get the right outcome that previous firms had bot been able to achieve. Cannot recommend Darren highly enough.

Employment
I got intouch with Richard Nelson's after needing help with a contract regarding mutually agreed redundancy, but due to the contract not containing the correct information by the time I got the correct version I only had two days left before it had to be signed and returned. I rang and was assured that someone would be able to help me, I was give an appointment for the next day and met Jayne Harrison, she was brilliant! She read through the contents with me pointing out several mistakes, she got straight in touch with my employer and got them amended . I have one last part to complete in January. I am so glad that I chose Richard Nelson's as after much stress they dealt with my situation extremely quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing any legal advice.

Great support!
Rita helped me with my application and gave me the confidence from the very first appointment. She continued correspondence and helped me submit the application in the correct timeframe and followed through. She ensured to be professional and personalised everything around my schedule and relevant to my case. Thank you for your help!

From the first call and throughout the whole process to its successful outcome Rita was robust, approachable and tenacious in doing all she could to ensure that we understood all that we needed to provide so that she could present the very best case in our visa application. Highly recommended.

I had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. The attorney who was handling my case failed to complete my paperwork even after I had fully paid all the agreed fees. After we finalized everything from my side and I paid the full amount, my documents remained pending for an entire year. During that time, I repeatedly tried to contact her for updates, but she did not respond to my messages. This lack of communication and delay caused me significant stress and inconvenience. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and accountability, especially after fulfilling all my financial obligations. I hope the firm takes this matter seriously and improves its communication and commitment to clients.
I am sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing. There are often delays by HM Land Registry which are outside of our control, where they often take over a year before completing a registration. However, it sounds like there were potentially communication issue where we could have done better to manage your expectations and to communicate with you. If you would like us to explore this further offline with you, then please do reach out to us at complaints@richardnelsonllp.co.uk. Thank you.

I worked with Rita for over nine years on my spouse visa application. Throughout the entire process, she was exceptionally professional, understanding, and consistently well‑organised. Her dedication and expertise made a huge difference, and thanks to her fantastic work, my visa has finally been granted. I would highly recommend Rita’s services.

Rita provided outstanding support with my father’s British citizenship application. She was professional and always clear in her communication, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, the application was successful. I’m very grateful for Rita’s excellent service and would highly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration solicitor!
