Action against previous solicitor

This was a complex and delicate matter that required a great deal of untangling in order to resolve it. This is included a detailed analysis of profits and loss on a Trust investment account that had to be agreed with the insurer's solicitor. After al engthy pursuit settlement was finally reached whick is best in the circumstances. I write on behalf as Trustee of the Trust and on behalf of my fellow Trustee.

A good resolution

Very impressed with Jacky and her team, who helped me recover some of the debt owed to me by a rogue trader. I appreciated her understanding and patience with such a long and often frustrating process.

Neil one of the solicitors at this firm is a man with no integrity and he enjoy power and will find ways to legally get extra money. I instructed him for an intro call and the price was agreed. I specifically told him I wanted no further work done after the call and that I did not want him to write up notes. He then went on to write up notes and charge me another £500 for that which I had told him not to do both verbally and in writing. Yet he took me to court for these as he has no integrity. Firstly he charged me for work we had not agreed and that is had told him not to do. Secondly he then added zero value and his notes was him charging me £500 to write up facts I had given him that I already knew. My experience with him is that he lack any integrity, is arrogant and rude and is on a power trip. He shown no care about me as a customer. been rude and was only looking to charge me as much as possible. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM AND NEIL if you want a good solicitor I can recommend other first as the firm that supported me afterwards where so kind and fair.

A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review

A review of this nature is always hard to read but in this particular case could have been anticipated. As we both know the outcome of the court proceedings that you refer to there is nothing I can usefully add. It speaks for itself. This firm has maintained an excellent reputation for 205 years and that would not have been possible if, as you say, its members lack integrity. We have the pleasure of working with wonderful clients; most of whom are extremely loyal and who are delighted with the service we provide. That is not to say that a firm of our size and presence does not make mistakes, but they are thankfully rare and we always do what we can to resolve them and to make sure we learn from themselves. Here no mistakes were made, and I cannot accept your criticism. Head of Family Team

Outstanding service provided by Tabytha Cunningham and her colleague Charlotte Farrell. I would highly recommend Tabytha as she provided exceptional and first class legal advice on an elongated dispute with my previous employer. Tabytha is very professional and her attention to detail is astounding. Tabytha is honest, hardworking, trusted and a brilliant individual working for a well sought after legal company - she is a real credit to Paris Smith LLP. Tabytha kept me in the loop and did exactly as she said she would and I was never let down. After two years I was happy with the outcome thanks to Tabytha's tenacity and her extreme passion in her role. Highly recommended.

I had an initial call with this firm and then told them I did not want to instruct them and did not want them to undertake any further work. They then continued to send me invoices for hours of work that had never been done. When I let them know nothing had been done and I have had no further calls with the solicitor and showed them the emails where I told them I would not instructed them and no further work should be done they ignored this. I never got the letters from the court but just received a letter saying a judgement of around £1,500 had been made for an initial hour consultancy call. I will obviously get this order set aside this company is a complete scam and in the initial hour they did nothing but ask me for details that I could have completed online or put on a form, such as how many kids I have how old they are and bla bla bla. I hired another law firm that has been amazing. This company is dishonest and provide no value for money they will just try to bill you as much as they can get away with. Stay clear.

As you know, we do not accept your comments. Matters are still progressing through other channels and therefore we are unable to comment further on your observations until the matter has reached a conclusion.

Exceptional service from a dedicated team. Resolved an extremely complex contractual matter with professionalism and high levels of support. Set clear levels of expectation and remained a strong calming influence throughout a very challenging process. A very collaborate manner and always willing to discuss alternative courses of action. Would have no hesitation in recommending the team.

Exceptional Legal Expertise with Genuine Compassion

I cannot recommend Paris Smith LLP highly enough. From my first conversation, Bethan Jenkins was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout what was a difficult and emotional employment matter. Bethan took the time to understand my circumstances, provided clear and balanced advice, and negotiated an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, I felt genuinely listened to, reassured and confident that my best interests were always at the heart of her advice. What particularly stood out was her combination of legal expertise and genuine empathy. She made a challenging experience considerably easier to navigate, and I am enormously grateful for her guidance, kindness and commitment. An exceptional solicitor whom I would recommend without hesitation.

While Jin is pleasant to deal with, I expected more given the high cost of the lender's required solicitors. Being charged extra for standard services, combined with the lender's negligence (Castle Trust - whom I will never borrow from again), is disappointing. You can easily find standard conveyancing for a better price.

from Paris Smith LLP

We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations, particularly regarding the costs involved. We appreciate your comments and will ensure they are shared with the relevant team. We’re pleased Jin made a positive impression and thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns.
