Money
Money
Value for money
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.

Satisfied with outcome
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.

Nicola was very helpful in sorting out my complicated divorce. I had previously been with a different solicitor but it was not working out. Nicola helped me find a good solution as divorce had been drawn out too long. I managed to keep the family home and get a pension sharing order in court.

Smooth, Efficient and Professional Service
The conveyancing process was smooth from beginning to end. Louise Burn was highly professional and explained everything efficiently. When I needed assistance, Louise always offered expert legal advice. My parents had a great experience with Aldridge Brownlee and recommended them to me, and I am pleased to say mine was just as positive. I would happily recommend the firm to others.

Excellent Conveyancing services three times over nine years. Highly recommended.
Great Conveyancing services by Alex over nine years covering three transactions, with timely, precise, knowledgable and helpful communications. Supported by Val on those rare pressing instances with excellent administrative assistance when needed.

Dispute Resolution
Litigation / Dispute Resolution
Andrew Carswell took the reigns with regards to my stepmother's estate where a dispute was raised. All through the process Andrew kept me updated and looked to resolve asap through the required channels. Although there were bumps in the road with the courts, Andrew kept me fully up to date and assured me that all will get resolved. The issues faced were not because of the solicitor, but rather the system itself. I felt secure in the knowledge that the solicitor was putting in place the required legal process to ensure protection, not only for myself but also others where a future claim could be made. I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of Andrew Carswell and am very grateful to the service he provided as part of Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors, thank you.

Been putting off reviewing our Wills for far too long. However Fern made the whole process easy and straightforward. I won't be leaving it so long again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fern and the team to anyone else seeking to write or review Wills.
