How Ellisons Compares
Value for money
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.
This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Ellisons on ReviewSolicitors.
As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using Ellisons. These questions include:

- How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
- Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
- Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
- Overall experience
We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Lomax + Wood EOT
Paul and Abigail were excellent, providing a superb service at a competitive rate. They guided us through the complexity of an EOT and provided the correct balance of technical advice and plain speaking. All in all my best legal experience to date, this was my third deal but my first EOT.

GP Premise Lease Re-assignment - thank you.
My husband and I had an excellent service from Harjot, our assigned solicitor by Ellisons Solicitors. She was very professional, put us at ease, and very reassuring on all matters related to the case she was handling for us. She was knowledgeable in her field and explained matters to us both in writing and verbally as appropriate, keeping us informed on progress. She showed very good communication skills and took ownership of her dealings. She met all our requests in a timely manner and to the best of her ability. We would ask for her if Ellisons took on any further work for us in the future. Thank you Harjot!

Quality Legal Service has to be valued
Being a first-time buyer of a commercial property can be a very daunting process.
Throughout the process, Ellison Solicitors kept me informed about the transaction's progress and technicalities. This helped me make informed decisions at various stages. You indeed get what you pay for. This couldn't apply more to legal services than to anything else in this world.
Thank you all, who were part of the team. My special thanks to Ms Harjot for such a professional service.

Catherine did an amazing job at conveyancing our new property purchase. From the start communication was excellent. As a first time buyer I was daunted by the conveyancing process but Catherine did an outstanding job at explaining things to me and progressing the sale exceptionally fast. Thank you for an exceptional service and making the whole buying process stress free!
