Excellent help

Needed help with chasing a customer that refused to pay. Went through to the courts, had great communication, even though the courts were very slow, finally received full payment and fees, very helpful.

Dispute Resolution

Help with a Small Claim dispute, May 2023

Louise Cook spent a small amount of time with me to have an initial discussion about a Small Claims dispute with a Court appearance forthcoming in October. She was quick to understand the salient points of my case and offered some very pertinent initial advice on creating a Court 'bundle' with a very professional approach to the meeting and subsequent email contact this week. I readily signed up to use your firm's services but, on reflection, have decided to conduct my own case in Court. The Judge at the initial hearing advised that the matter in question was very straightforward and not really requiring legal representation. I have decided to adopt his advice. Based on my experience, I would readily approach Louise and/or your firm in future if. a future situation arose.

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Hi Patrick, we are really glad to hear that Louise Cook in our Gillingham office was able to help and offer advice to you regarding your claims matter. We will pass on a copy of your kind feedback to her and please do let us know if you need any further advice in the future.

To whom it may concern: My experience of Farnfields is a positive and happy one. I found our lead solicitor, Karen Auckland very efficient and helpful when needed. The senior soliicitor Julian Alahakoon was in the background if required, but Karen was always on the ball and knew just what to do when the other party's solicitors did not come up with the money at the specified time interval. I would unhesitatingly recommend them. I used Farnfields Gillingham branch twelve or so years ago on an entirely different matter and also found them very good too. All in all - an excellent practice in my experience.

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 had a positive experience while negotiating finances And completing my divorce. I was made to feel at ease during a very stressful time. I felt Meril was very professional, had great knowledge of the process and the law. Everything was explained in an understandable manner. I feel we had a good rapport and kept me well informed and updated. I feel I was represented well and delivered a satisfactory outcome.

Best Solicitor I've EVER used!

This is my third time moving house, and having used other solicitors in the past, I can honestly say that none compare to the service provided by Farnfields. I first used them for my second house purchase and didn’t hesitate to return for my third. A special thank you to Daniella Flintan and Joanna Shortland – they truly are everything you could hope for. They respond promptly to every query and handle each request efficiently, which makes such a difference during what can be a stressful process. Their dedication and professionalism ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible from start to finish. I will continue to highly recommend Farnfields to anyone looking for outstanding service. Thank you so much for all your help over the years!

A representative from Farnfields LLP responded to this review

Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for choosing Farnfields again. It means a great deal to us that you have returned to us for your third move and that we've continued to provide the level of service you expect. Daniella and Joanna will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you also for your continued recommendations.

Total Lack of Knowledge

It would appear that I know more about the law with regards to my situation than they do! Incorrect information was provided to me and I became sick to death answering the same question over and over again. It reminded me of the quote: 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result'. Also, in this day and age there is no excuse for issuing documents containing spelling errors. Obviously they do not use a spell checker.
