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.

"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."

Highly recommend- Louise Burn Solicitor
After months of negotiations involving the legal process of a transfer of equity, loss of two buyers and my husbands medical emergency as we were close to exchange, I can only feel gratitude, appreciation and relief for Louise in her expertise and guidance through what was a very tumulus selling and buying experience. We have relocated as retirees to rural Somerset which is an undertaking in itself after living in Bournemouth a lifetime and in the same property for 18 years. Louise always returned prompt reply’s to emails and returned with a phone call to gather more information or check in as needed - no stone was left unturned! On our competition day we arrived having hired a three day removal service to find our seller in disorganised chaos ! Louise was at the end of the phone to advise and reassure and then called a few days later to check - in and see how I was. I cannot recommend highly enough- you will be in very reliable, trustworthy , safe hands with Louise. Thank you Louise.

My experience with Alexandra Kirkpatrick as my solicitor when selling my first property was excellent. Alex asked if I had any needs and I said I had aniexty, and since that point Alex made the stressful journey of selling extremely bearable and easy. The prompt responses to my emails and speed/efficiency was faultless. I highly recommend if you’re looking to buy/sell a property to engage with Alexandra, for she will not only make a stressful time manageable. But the speed in which Alex works at will push your sale/purchase to completion extremely quickly. Thank you again Alexandra Kirkpatrick I can’t thank you enough.

I would recommend your firm, as new clients we were impressed by your calm efficiency and attention to detail. I would, however, point out that we did not think the semi-transparent wall from Reception to Meeting Room was adequate to maintain confidentiality as voices could be heard quite clearly through the semi-transparent thin partition.

Clare and her able assistant Marie were so helpful to my wife and I who were Executors of a very detailed and complex will. We were given good advice from the first time we met with Clare right until it was finalised almost 3 years later. The efficiency and level of service that we received could not have been better
