Ellisons

I have dealt with Marion for many years and she is always so accessible and easy to communicate with. Our property portfolio seems to get more complicated but Marion helps to keep it simple. In the last year I have also worked with some other departments at Ellisons who have all been very good.

The team at Ellisons have been a great help in dealing with a difficult and intransigent Home Office. They are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful which gas been very reassuring through a difficult time.

I have been a long term client with Ellisons when running my businesses and each time I need to engage their services they need fail to deliver a first class service. This time I needed support with a potential dispute situation - from start to finish with everyone I dealt with to understand my issue, everyone was quick to respond, expert in their advice and honest with me on how to approach things. In particular, Rob Tiffen, Partner in the Dispute Resolution team was excellent. He took the time to review my potential case, phone me to discuss possible options and then confirmed with clear and understandable correspondence on what we agreed. Helping me find a resolution and remove the stress that the issue was causing me whilst continuing to run my business.

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.

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.

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.

A thoroughly professional company and immensely experienced.

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.
