The mortgage process was a mystery to me as a late starter with a first mortgage. I was impressed with the quote sheet and involved costs- despite the lengthy process. At times I was pressured by the vendor who perhaps thought the process was taking too long. However I was and am eternally reassured by Lewis’s cool and calm approach. My questions were always dealt with in a courteous manner which put my mind at rest. To say the final report was thorough is an understatement and I appreciated the diligence in this as there were one or two unknown quantities in the process. I was also very happy with the final report handover, despite the confusion about which office I was attending- which is evidently being resolved. I value honesty and the upfront acknowledgement and opportunity for feedback and questions was a revelation- especially as a first time buyer. I would absolutely recommend Stephen Rimmer LLP to anyone seeking representation.

Thanks for the great review Ash
Very helpful and efficient firm. Reception quickly arranged a same-day appointment with Lewis Banks to be a witness for my tenancy deposit form. Lewis was professional, friendly, and made the process smooth. I’d recommend them and would consider using their services again if needs be in the future.

Family law is a very sensitive matter, my case was family law. Sadly, you expect the person giving you legal advice that you are paying for the know the law. And not miss very important points of law. That even a judge said he was surprised they missed. Sadly, if they had of been honest in the beginning it would of saved everyone a lot of time, instead they told me what wanted to hear they told me a good chance of winning it wasn’t until I got into court to mins before the hearing was about to start the barrister said you are likely to lose. Talk about burning my bridges, how did she think I would give evidence effectively knowing this. All they wanted was money to make money from me/Legal aid. If I could give them 0 stars I would. They had no interest in my case and really made no effort to win. The barrister they engaged was totally useless, at the beginning of my trial she said prepared to lose. What are you serious!! she never even tried. After the case I told the solicitor and the Barrister I wanted to appeal they said it was not a good idea and the chance of an appeal being successful were 0 they were wrong. I sacked them an appealed myself. I ended up gaining more than both Barrister and solicitor and managed to achieve. I have had not a day’s legal training in my life. They missed a huge point in law, and even the judge said it was a recognised fact. I complained about them, and they made excuse after excuse. Dreadful dreadful representation. Dont use them for a matrimonial case, especially not on Legal aid. They give you junior solicitor that has no experience and charges a fortune for doing nothing. To this day they still have not gained, financial disclose from my Ex they never even brough this up in court. My Ex wiped the floor with them and made them look so pathetic. They let a court leave my Ex earning thousand a month and my children and i with next to nothing. After the case the barrister for the other side changed the order without agreement from my side and send the order to the court for sealing. Crazy situation that the law is so bad these days that it lets people down in this manner. Hidden in these reviews I see there are others that aren’t happy with their service seems to be a trend. I am very sure in their reply they will not give a reason as to why they didn’t follow the law or advise me on the correct points of law.
We would like to provide some context to this matter. Firstly, family law is a sensitive and complex area of law. This can mean that as much as a client may want to achieve certain objectives, we may have to share advice they do not want to hear. Secondly, we believe it is best to be open and honest with our clients from the outset. In doing so we can try and manage expectations and protect our clients’ best interests. We will do so even if the receipt of that advice is not well received, and/or if it results in a negative review. In this case, we are entirely satisfied we provided sensitive and appropriate advice. We wish you well in resolving matters and managing very challenging circumstances.

Bought many properties in my time and none of them have gone as smooth and stress free as the latest one I completed on with Noel. Quick responses with a calm rationale to every problem we encountered. Always reassured me and got the job done quickly. Will not be using anyone else!

Stephen Rimmer, under Partner Roy Bridge recently handled the sale of my father's property following his move to residential care. Although an uncomplicated private sale, Roy and his team handled matters diligently and professionally throughout. Fixed price conveyancing with no unexpected surprises Roy responded to enquiries in a timely and informative fashion and the sale was completed to time and in line with our expectations. Many thanks
Dear Phil. Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re pleased to hear that Roy and the team handled the sale of your father’s property so professionally and kept everything on track throughout. Your comments are greatly appreciated, and we will pass them on to Roy and the team. Wishing you all the best.

I would definitely recommend the company. I have used them few times and i will continue using. 5 out of 5 for me
Thank you 🤩
I used them when buying my house Jack was great! However!!! I definitely wish I’d seen these reviews before I instructed a different department - I completely agree they are incompetent! I don’t think they understand the meaning of communication.!
