The Most Exceptional Experience

This was one of the most professional service we have ever had. We've used 2 different Solicitors before for our numerous property purchases over the years but whilst their services were good, nothing could compare to the level of exceptional services provided by Stephen Rimmer LLP,

Excellent professional

Louis Hall is an excellent lawyer. From the first day he took my case at the police station, he demonstrated great professionalism and expertise regarding the charges against me. My bail lasted six months, and I always felt supported throughout the process because he was always attentive to my emails and questions about the entire investigation. With his work, he was able to prove my innocence, and my case has now been closed. I highly recommend Louis; he has extensive experience and a strong sense of responsibility in every case he handles. Thank you, Louis, for your help.

I found myself in a difficult situation not of my making, and Louis was extremely reassuring and knowledgeable. He was diplomatic but authoritative with the police and got what I was going through immediately, helping me to resolve the issue to my satisfaction.

For a serious case that had gone on for over a year

We was recommended Steven Rimmer solicitors by a family member when my partner was involved in a serious crime back in January 2024. Louis has been great from start to end, always got back to me within a day of making contact, made us aware of updates/changes as soon as he knew, turned up to every single bail meeting and was very professional and knowledgeable when being interviewed, which we believe is one of the contributing reasons for the case being dropped. We would highly recommend and will use again if we ever needed.

We take all feedback very seriously as we strive for excellence in the provision of criminal defence services. We have many based upon client feedback. Unfortunately there is never any guarantees in criminal proceedings with regard to the outcome in a case.

3 days calling to ask for advice and representation. Promised calls back that never materialised. Call them again and again, all running around some Louis guy not having a clue what's going on unless he's there to tell them what to do. Very slow, extremely disorganised and painful to deal with. Avoid.

A representative from Stephen Rimmer LLP responded to this review

Dear Jack, we did speak to you for half an hour and as agreed with you were awaiting a payment from you before we could take the matter any further. As you now seem dissatisfied with the service our Crime Team have provided so far we will close our file.

As a first time buyer, the whole process is very daunting. Joe Sheriff was recommended and I can see why. Him and his team kept me updated throughout the whole process and guided me. Will definitely be coming back to Joe for my next purchase!

Sale of my Mother's House using LPA

Noel and his team were as efficient as usual, dealing with the sale of my Mother's house using my Lasting Power of Attorney. From an offer being accepted for the house from cash buyers, to completion of the sale, took 8 weeks and 2 days, and that was partly because we needed time to clear the house between exchange & completion, or it could have been quicker!! I am not local to Eastbourne but the majority of the communication is via email so it's not a problem. Noel also dealt with the sale of my own property last year, so yes I can certainly recommend him.

I had a fantastic experience working with Noel Martin at Stephen Rimmer Solicitors during the sale of our property. Noel was consistently professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. House sales can often hit unexpected hurdles, but Noel was always calm, friendly, and understanding during the more challenging moments. His clear advice and steady approach were incredibly reassuring and made a huge difference to the experience. I am very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend his services to anyone needing a reliable solicitor.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Noel’s calm, friendly and professional approach helped make your property sale a more reassuring experience, particularly when those unexpected hurdles arose. We’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to Noel – we know they’ll mean a great deal to him. Thank you for choosing Stephen Rimmer LLP and for your recommendation. We really appreciate it and wish you all the very best for the future.
