Exceptional

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service I received from Kew Law Solicitors, From the very first consultation, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping me navigate the complexities of my redundancy package.

Joel Carter in particular, was exceptional. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand, and provided me with clear, actionable advice.

The communication was prompt and effective; I was always kept in the loop and never left wondering what the next steps were. Thanks to their diligent efforts, I received a fair and satisfactory redundancy package, which has made a significant difference in my transition.

I highly recommend Kew Law Solicitors, to anyone seeking legal assistance with employment matters. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized service truly set them apart. Thank you for your invaluable support!

Can’t fault the service at all

I have just brought my first house with the help of Kew Law and I wanted to share how great I thought they were. Thomas was efficient, professional and helpful. He seemed to really care about the work he does and the clients he is representing. I will be using again in the future if I ever need to. Would highly recommend.

Zero out of five

The worst experience I have ever had with a lawyer. Victoria Bush never returns calls nor reples to an email. When a contract is urgent she goes home early (and the office is closed for lunch). Inspite of holding clnt monies in their account they denied having the money. This is a firm which has no desire to help their clients. Complaints are ignored. Having made a formal complaint, I am still awaiting a response.

Rude and unhelpful

The solicitor (Kirstie Tompkins) was rude and unhelpful and often worked from home but had no phone set up so it was impossible to get in touch with her. All communications went through junior staff who couldn’t answer any questions and we had to constantly chase for a reply to any questions. Paperwork had incorrect spelling of our names multiple times even after letting them know their error. For the amount of money you pay you would expect competent people who care. They are arrogant and do not care at all about making what is already an incredibly stressful time any easier! Avoid.

Unhelpful & arrogant

We had Claudia as our solicitor for shared ownership. However, we did not formally talk right up until she called me to tell me when our completion date had been confirmed. I ended up dealing with John Game throughout the process who was helpful and responded to emails and phone calls promptly. Our big issue and complaint with Kew Law was that on the day of completion once half of our belongings were all loaded up into a van. Claudia called me and advised that we had paid her £999 short. We hadn’t, it was the product fee which was added onto our loan. Claudia was adamant that we were short and told me that we would not be able to complete until we had transferred her the £999. I asked that if my mortgage adviser called her would she speak with him and discuss. Claudia refused to speak with him which I found arrogant and unhelpful in this stressful time. What was supposed to be an exciting day now turned into an emotional unhappy one. So, we had no option but to find £999 (we didn’t have it) calling family frantically to see if someone could help us which I found incredibly embarrassing. Luckily, we got the funds and paid them and then Claudia ran the completion. After all this, we discussed with our mortgage lender what had happened and they have since been in contact with Kew Law and they’ve agreed with the error apologised and said they will reimburse us. We are now waiting for this. I would not recommend Kew Law at all. Avoid.

Average service

Initial contact for quote and acceptance of work was great however into the process I didn’t deal with the assigned solicitor. I had a trainee solicitor which is all well and good however there was a lot of back and forth as she didn’t follow dates on statements and accounts to match information up. When I called to clarify it had to be done in writing rather than over the phone. Also quoted me for additional work which was not shared upfront and then reduced the amount when I queried it. Also miscalculated final monies owing as reservation fee was sent directly to developer. The trainee didn’t apologize when mistakes were raised especially on the overcharging. Not the greatest service received for what is quite a lengthy drawn out process.

VERY SLOW AND COMMUNICATION TERRIBLE

This review is for a different branch.

I used the firm for a very straightforward flat purchase. The firm rarely returned calls, ignored emails and was so slow I ended up cancelling the purchase.
