A huge thank you to the team in Gillingham, who worked together to support me and my family, and to help us get the best outcome for my daughter. I felt heard, listened to, and a surge of confidence. No question was deemed silly. We were supported, advised, and part of the journey. Thank you, Meril, for your compassion and being the driving force!

I had the pleasure of working with Meril, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. From the very beginning, she demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and dedication. Meril is incredibly knowledgeable in her field, always well-prepared, and confident in her guidance, which instantly put me at ease. What truly sets her apart is how genuinely understanding and caring she is. She takes the time to listen, understand your needs, and respond with compassion and clarity. It’s rare to find someone who blends expertise with such warmth and empathy. Meril’s commitment goes above and beyond—she doesn't just do her job, she truly invests in the people she helps. I’m deeply grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a trustworthy and exceptional professional. I cannot thank her enough for saving my life!

Utter rubbish

We sought advice from this firm about our rights as grandparents to see our granddaughter. It’s clear that the solicitor we asked did not know what she was doing. It cost us thousands of pounds and she quickly changed her opinion to, we can sort this you’ll have to go to court, to well, they are the parents and Judge xyz is a bit of a maverick you never know which way he is going. The mediator they recommend is also poor. We paid hundreds of pounds for what turned out to be a set of rules she advised us to agree to rather than a helpful way forward.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Hello Hilary, we make every effort to ensure that we provide a helpful professional service so it is disappointing to read that you have not had a good experience with us. We receive 97% customer satisfaction results which are always above benchmark when compared to other law firms. We absolutely welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further with you. Please do get in touch by contacting us on 01747 825432 or email: info@farnfields.com and we would be very happy to discuss your concerns.

I can’t recommend Sarah Clarke highly enough. Over the course of two very trying property sales, she was consistently supportive, kind, and understanding. I always felt that she genuinely had my best interests at heart, guiding me through every challenge with patience and professionalism. Her communication and care went far beyond what I expected — by the end, she felt more like a trusted friend than a solicitor. I would not hesitate to use her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional conveyancer.

I had an excellent experience working with Louise Cook. She was consistently responsive, approachable, and highly knowledgeable. Her guidance and support made the process much smoother, and her expertise proved invaluable. I felt reassured throughout, knowing I was in capable hands. I would not hesitate to recommend Louise to anyone seeking professional and reliable legal support.

I contacted farnfield for change of name. As I didn't have a surname in my Indian passport but I have full name in my given name space and when I got my british passport I have surname but no first name. So I wanted to sort this out by seperating my first name and surname. When I explained everything Meril George helped me with my whole process. She explained everything very well. Now I got my new passport with first name and surname separately.I'm happy with the service they provided. Thanks Meril for your help.

Conveyancing

Farnfields’ conveyancing department has been absolutely superb in managing both the sale and purchase of my property. In particular, I can’t praise highly enough Frances Bundy and Stephanie Down for the speed and efficiency of the transaction. They reply to correspondence and phone calls promptly, very often immediately, and their communications are clear and straight-forward. I have been a client of Farnfields for over 20 years and am always confident in the knowledge that they are a safe pair of hands.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for your continued support over the past 20 years.

Both Sarah Clarke and Emma Barlow were just brilliant, particularly as the vendors were not the most communicative couple! Even the estate agents commented that my solicitors were ‘on ball’ and very good!

Helen helped my elderly parents with the purchase of the new home and sale of the old one.

We exchanged contracts yesterday and the whole process has been made easier thanks to Clare and Lauren. They have always been available to help and very willing to explain when I didn't understand! Selling one's home and purchasing another is, inevitably, pretty stressful but Clare and Lauren have enabled the process to move ahead with as little stress as possible.

I genuinely cannot recommend Clare Ellis-Mortimer and Lauren Goodwin highly enough. Both our house sale and purchase were extremely complex, and they were the one part of the entire process that was completely straightforward. Their calm heads, incredible knowledge and seamless communication kept everything moving when, frankly, I don't know what we would have done without them. Buying and selling property is stressful at the best of times but Clare and Lauren made it feel manageable, clear and genuinely reassuring at every single step. If only every solicitor in the chain had been as good as these two! They are the gold standard, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone about to enter the process of buying or selling a home. Thank you both for everything, you were exceptional!
