I received an excellent service from Abigail in helping me produce a shareholders agreement. I had no knowledge in this area and I found her extremly helpful.

Madeleine helped what would normally be an incredibly stressful situation and made it very manageable. She was efficient, helpful, proactive and supportive, meaning I ended up having very little to do. A big thank you and a clear recommendation for others.

Abigail was extremely helpful and understood the urgency of the situation. She controlled the situation and kept us well informed along the way. All was concluded with a few days to spare. We are completely satisfied with the service.

This was a particularly difficult transaction due to the buyer but mainly the very poor performance of his solicitor. The continued support and tenacity of Marion and her team in getting this across the line was vitally important.

This was a large transaction and fairly complex matters were covered. Ellison's dealt with everything with no fuss at all - on a timely basis - a very efficient firm.

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.

Carly and her team have been fantastic through the whole process of selling my property. Carly was always happy to answer questions and gave me so much support when the buyer was being tricky. I can not thank Carly and her team for making the process so easy.

Anna was very helpful and informative. She gave me a great deal of information and was very clear about the next steps to take. I felt very supported and reassured during the meeting. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone seeking similar advice.

Hi James, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so pleased you had a positive experience using Ellisons!

We needed to update our wills and set up Power of Attorney. Ellisons had dealt with our original wills and it made sense to use them again. The service we received was excellent with everything being clearly explained. Amy and Olivia were patient and professional at all times. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ellisons.

Very unhappy to receive a bill above what was estimated for my case, two weeks after the case was closed. At no point during the process was I notified that the number of hours would be increased from the estimated and I only found out upon receiving the bill. All I can say is that the timekeeping on jobs is either not tracked properly, or this is a way to make a bit of extra money and then point to the small print. I would never have gotten away with whacking my clients with an unexpected bill, having not given them notification at the time that hours spent on the job were going over the original estimate quoted. Very disappointed and upset with the lack of communication, I feel like I’ve been played here and have no choice but to find the money to pay for something I had no idea I was being charged for. Who operates like this?! Edit, in response to Ellison's reply: I am not disputing that the case may have required more time than you originally quoted. I am shocked that I wasn't notified at the time and only found out 2 weeks later when the bill was sent to me. If notified at the time, this could have been agreed and covered by the other party yet now I am out of pocket at the end of a very stressful experience. I've been told by your colleague that this is being looked into further following a phone call.
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We are committed to providing clear information regarding the scope of our services and the basis of our charges, both of which are set out in our retainer documentation. As our professional obligations of confidentiality prevent us from discussing the details of any individual matter in a public forum, we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns directly. Should you wish to do so, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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.
