First Class Local Solicitors

Ellisons are local, Colchester Solicitors with branches in other towns that me, as a family, have used with confidence and satisfaction for several years. Their legal expertise, clear guidance and support for our family have helped us with conveyancing, will writing and advice about trusts.

Professionalism with empathy

Before meeting Anna i was scared emotional and thinking I couldnt deal with family court. Anna from day one made me feel at ease and listened too. Infact more listened to than anyone before. Shes guided me through the worst times off my life and whilst always remaining professional shes always had empathy and compassion along with the knowledge and support I needed. Worth every penny! Thankyou Anna

I've contacted Ellisons on a number of occasions to deal with different matters, and each time the service has always been excellent. Samantha has provided comprehensive information to support me and has been very clear in her advice, including being open about the potential outcomes. She has also been prompt in replying to emails and returning calls. Would highly recommend.

Ellison’s solicitors Chelmsford branch was a great service and could not recommend this service enough. So professional and efficient during such a difficult time they provided all paperwork and walked me through my first time buying a house so well. This was all done during the first lockdown and yet everything was completed properly to a high standard with them being in constant communication with me over every detail of the exchange. I could not recommend this solicitors company enough I have already been supplying friends with their details for them to use and I will be using them again in the future when needed. All I can say finally is a big thank you to all the team and one key colleague who dealt with my case.

Gross & Co are the most professional solicitors I have encountered. They listen and understand. A traditional family solicitor with a modern way of dealing with today's problems. Excellent customer service.

Fantastic service from start to finish

I have worked with many conveyancers over the years and can honestly say that Emily has been outstanding. She was responsive, reliable, professional and always acted with integrity. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she made the whole process feel smooth and straightforward. I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her.

0 Stars isn't an option. Absolutely dreadful - did not perform the task they were paid to do then ran up billable hours on things I hadn't approved. Funds on account was used up on pointless tasks (that I'd already paid someone else to do) and successfully wasted 6 months on a time sensitive matter. Asked for justification of billing and was told in was in her (Lauren's) notes but were unable/willing to provide anything that would be considered "legally admissible" to support this - I was asked to attend a meeting but the requestee didn't turn up; I was asked to communicate through a specific email address but never received a response, instead their comm's came from a different address that i didn't know about and hadn't approved into my inbox. They are obliged to work in the best interest of the client but I have nothing that supports this. Avoid at all costs. Matter now with the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

We are sorry to read your comments. This matter has been thoroughly reviewed through our formal complaints process, including independent assessment. As a regulated firm, we take all concerns seriously and follow established procedures to ensure they are addressed fairly.

My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.

My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.

Marion Knocker recently acted on our sale and purchase, and I can't recommend her and her team highly enough. She often went above and beyond to progress matters as swiftly as possible.
