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 at a reasonable price

Although our needs were relatively minor and straightforward, they were handled in a professional and friendly manner and at a reasonable cost.

Bethan and her team expertly navigated us through complex negotiations, title updates, and trust revisions. As the job became more complex, Ellisons proactively stepped up to meet the challenge. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the process.

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.

Throughout the auction process and sale Emily was always professional, attentive and most importantly always contactable for any questions that we had, making this whole transaction easy and stress free. Thank you .

Cannot recommend enough!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Turner and Cameron Cini. Emily handled our purchase and sale and could not have given us more confidence. The property we purchased had a few complications and Emily handled every single one perfectly, absolutely nothing was too much and we felt so certain throughout the transaction that everything would be okay. Emily came as a recommendation through a colleague and I will recommend her going forward - an absolutely incredible solicitor. Additionally, the estate agents handling the transactions and aftersales teams at the estate agents all spoke so highly of Ellisons & Emily - saying they were a "breath of fresh air". To finalise, Emily and the Ellisons team have been absolutely perfect throughout the whole transaction and I truly cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend.

Review of services

Within the first five minutes of meeting Madeleine Oakley I felt assured I had found the right person to deal with my situation. Madeleine explained legal jargon clearly, dealt with my questions and concerns promptly and patiently, and kept me well informed. I felt I could trust that she put her best efforts into trying to achieve the best possible outcome.

Very happy to recommend Marion to anyone needing to re-mortgage. This was the second occasion that Marion has dealt with the legal side of a re-mortgage for me. I found her and her team to be very professional and efficient throughout.

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.
