    The difference between a good solicitor and average solicitor

    After seeing another solicitor, I won’t mention names things looked a bit bleak for me . I then got recommended to Sharon and within two minutes of speaking wow the difference was clear . I was having a tricky divorce on top of false allegations and my parental rights trying to be stripped so my kids future could be determined by the mother only. Straight away Sharon knew exactly what legal step to take . She was also made aware that my financial situation wasn’t great so helped to find the best solution what was great help and not just an open quote for each steps taken if your unfortunate to be in a similar position to me trust me, you want this lady in your corner ! . My only quip or recommendation would be the secretary was not always the same and when searching emails the persons name is put first then the business name. I have an aol email and this caused slight issues I give an example below this comment maybe parfittcresswell should be first then the name of the person as I missed a few emails. That’s the only Ewa Sierawska <ewa.sierawska@parfittcresswell.com>

    Poor customer care

    My original solicitor left the firm mid case. I was handed over to Sharon. The first thing she did was send me a bill for a meeting we hadn’t had. Impossible to get hold of and when I finally did she was incredibly dismissive of me.

    Disappointing

    I regret appointing Parfitt Cresswell and wish I had used an online service instead. It would have been cheaper and I don’t feel they added any value despite the huge cost. Getting divorced was incredibly stressful and difficult and my solicitor made errors on my paperwork, was away on holiday at crucial moments without adequate cover and didn’t actually provide any helpful advice. They asked unnecessary questions which seemed like they were just running up the costs but refused to provide the advice I actually needed. They then sent long emails just to cover themselves which were not asked for or needed that I had to pay them for writing. The invoicing also wasn’t transparent, I wasn’t provided with itemised invoices. Would not recommend.

    Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

    I approached several larger firms to take on my case, but none offered the same level of attention to detail or personal approach that I experienced from the outset with Parfitt Cresswell. Natasha was brilliant to work with throughout the process and achieved a far better outcome than I had expected. She worked quickly, efficiently, and always made me feel supported and informed during what was a tricky time. I would highly recommend Natasha and the team at Parfitt Cresswell to anyone looking for genuinely client-focused solicitors.

    Eve Geere was appointed to deal with my divorce but, contrary to the suggestion of a sympathetic approach, she was very aggressive with the other side. Unfortunately, this antagonism was wholly unnecessary and ultimately led to a lengthy and expensive divorce on both sides. Would not recommend.

    Dear Charlie, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that divorce proceedings can be an emotionally challenging time for all involved, and we sincerely regret any distress you may have experienced. However, we must clarify that you were not a client of our firm. Our primary responsibility is to represent the best interests of our clients and in this instance, our client has expressed satisfaction with our services. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in all our dealings. If you have specific concerns about the legal process, we recommend discussing these with your own legal representative. We hope you can appreciate that our role was to advocate for our client, as is our duty as legal professionals. We wish you all the best moving forward. Best wishes, Client Services Team

      Downsizing to a Retirement Flat

      I have used Copley Clark for my will and for downsizing to a leasehold retirement flat. My solicitor Gwen Yangtin Li was very knowledgable about the issues around leasehold flats and retirement complexes. We had difficulty with the freehold solicitors and the Sellers conveyancer. They seemed much less knowledgeable. I consulted Jon Andrew about ownership of the retirement Flat as my wife is in a care home. I would also like to express thanks to Patumi Gholam for her help

      A Professional and Efficient Service.

      Jon oversaw the revision of our Wills that had previously been drawn-up by Copley Clark some 10 years previously. Initially, he arranged for a 'fact-finding' telephone call from which he was able to provide us with a detailed quotation which we both found acceptable. This was followed by a 'one to one' meeting in his his offices which I remember being more detailed than the original one we undertook and which unsurprisingly, also took longer. The draft Wills were completed in approximately 4 weeks and approved. A further meeting was then arranged in Jon's office's where the documents were duly signed and witnessed. Both my wife and I found the whole experience to be professional and efficient. I am pleased to confirm that neither my wife or I would hesitate in recommending Jon and his team.

      We recently completed the sale of a property where Parfitt Creswell (Windsor) acted for our buyers. What should have been a straightforward transaction took nine months to complete. In our experience, much of the delay appeared to be due to poor communication and a lack of responsiveness from Parfitt Cresswell. All parties involved spent considerable time chasing updates, often receiving no response for weeks at a time. I would not normally leave a review for a company I had not personally instructed, but the level of communication throughout this transaction was so poor that I felt it was important to share my experience. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Parfitt Creswell.

      A representative from Parfitt Cresswell Limited responded to this review

      Dear Mandy, Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate that property transactions can be stressful and that different parties involved may have differing views of the process. As solicitors, our professional duty is to act in the best interests of our client and in accordance with their instructions. As you were not our client in this matter, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on the specific circumstances referred to in your review. We can, however, confirm that throughout the transaction we remained committed to providing professional advice and representation in accordance with our client's legal interests and instructions. We acted proactively throughout, progressing all matters within our control promptly and diligently while working towards the best possible outcome for our client. Best wishes, Client Services Team – Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors
