Palmers Law Ltd

I had to update my Will as previous solicitor had retired. Very professional and friendly service. Would highly recommend PalmersLaw in Rayleigh.

Palmerslaw dealt with my fathers estate. I was a beneficiary and my sister and brother were executors. My sister dealt with my fathers finances keeping full records of all his accounts. The estate did not qualify for inheritance tax and as such was a fairly simple probate matter. Palmerslaw and in particular Donna Smy took a year to finalise the probate on his estate. My brother identified a lot of mistakes in the accounts presented by Smy which needed to be rectified. Further when the finances were collected Palmerslaw held onto the money for months without distribution of the funds. My brother locked horns with them time after time concerning their delay after delay. In answer to complaints they replied with word salad saying nothing. Like most of these multiple law firms they promise much and deliver little for high fees. Anybody reading this review I would advise do not touch this firm. Look for a small firm with good reviews. These large amalgamations are only interested in money, how much they can extract and for how long. My brother has washed his hands of them in disgust now they are out of our lives but I wanted to write this review to warn others not to make the mistake we made.

Louise was very kind to me, helping me understand everything. Thank you, that seems so normal, but I mean it so much.

My mother and I were made executors of my uncle’s Will. When he died, though we had a rough idea of what being an executor entails, we really didn’t know what was expected of us; the process etc. With the guidance, support and expertise of Siobain Moore and her team at Palmerslaw we needn’t have worried. Communication was excellent, no question was too much and explanations were clear. They were at the end of the telephone (or an email). The process, though it took just over a year, was relatively smooth and dealt with sensitively and supportively; understanding we had just lost someone dear to us. We (my mother and I) had used Palmerslaw before when buying our respective houses; both of us had had good experiences so we didn’t hesitate when this situation arose. We would certainly recommend Palmerslaw.

Louise Welch explained and listened to my position and wishes. She was extremely helpful and professional at all times making the process less intimidating and upsetting.

I would not reccomend Palmers law to anyone in fact i would instruct peoplw to avoid them. My family hired palmers law to oversee the probate estate of a family member in london. We live in Ireland and trusted palmers law to carry out all the necessary legal reqirements associated with this case. They showed tremendous levels of incompentance throughout our exhaustive dealings with them. Continually changing solicitor dealing with our case and ignoring phone calls and letters from us enquiring if they were actually working on the case. Eventually they blundered their way to the end of the process and got everything finished and issued a letter of completion along with their bill. Time passed by then out of nowhere we recieved a letter from palmers basically telling us they had made another large blunder and there was an outstanding bill to pay to HMRC which they fogot about. This caused much anguish to family members involved as we were led to believe that all was done. The final straw was when they issued a demanding letter to the family the day preceeding my elderly mother's death. Totally discouraged by my experience with unprofessional Palmers law.

We recently appointed Palmers to assist with the sale and purchase of our home. Throughout the process, the entire team was professional, hardworking, and highly responsive. We always felt that they had our best interests at heart and were committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. As we were so pleased with the service and the positive working relationship we had built, we also chose to instruct Palmers to assist with preparing our wills. Laura was incredibly supportive throughout, making the process simple, straightforward, and stress-free. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the service we received and would not hesitate to recommend Palmers Solicitors to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal support.

Terrible Law Firm, been dealing with our simple case for months and months. No communication, never contacts us unless prompted and complained against. Case handlers leave without informing you, cases don't get handed over. Avoid this firm for probate and will execution, at all costs. (which I am sure will be sizable once they send us the bill, for their terrible service)

Sabreena has done an excellent professional job obtaining probate and advising on my late father’s estate. She was first-class from the very beginning, showing compassion for our loss, giving clear, concise and transparent advice throughout and was diligent in collecting funds and distributing to beneficiaries. Nothing was too much trouble and queries were dealt with quickly and in a friendly manner. Having worked in a leading global law firm for over 40 years, I know what elite service looks like - and that is exactly what I received from Sabreena and Palmers.

We used Palmerslaw for both probate and conveyancing after the death of my brother and I found them to be friendly, reliable and competent. Would recommend them. Ann Webb
