Sale of a house.

Everything went really smoothly on a tight timescale, to get the buyers in before the stamp duty change.

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.

A representative from Stephen Rimmer LLP responded to this review

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.

Family Law

Excellent service

I cannot recommend Lucy Vickers highly enough. Watching a close friend go through a deeply stressful family court procedure was incredibly tough, but having Lucy in their corner changed everything.From start to finish, Lucy has been absolutely amazing. She did not just handle the legalities; she truly went above and beyond to provide exceptional support, clarity, and reassurance during an emotional and complex time. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care shone through at every single stage of the process.If you need a family law solicitor who is fiercely competent, deeply compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile for her clients, Lucy Vickers is the person you want representing you.

Noel is the best!

We have used Noel numerous times for our conveyancing and we would never use anyone else! He makes the whole process so easy and is always on hand for any questions or concerns. It is so refreshing to have a solicitor that actually answers the phone and responds so promptly to emails. We recommend him to everyone we know!

I rarely write reviews, but this is thoroughly deserved. Leta represented us with our house sale which went through last week. She made the whole process painless and kept us up to date the whole way through. She didn't add costs where they weren't needed, and she found solutions to hurdles that needed to be crossed. My wife and I would just like to say thank you Leta for a super professional service, you are amazing. And without wishing to demean anything you do, cheap too! Thank you again, Jeremy and Rebecca.
