Ellisons

I recently had an initial consultation with Francesca for advice regarding divorce, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was incredibly nervous going into the appointment, but Francesca immediately put me at ease. She could clearly sense how anxious I was and was so reassuring, sympathetic and approachable throughout. She asked the right questions and gave me the time and space to open up, which made what could have been a very difficult and daunting conversation feel so much easier. Francesca was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, without ever making me feel overwhelmed. I came away from the consultation feeling much more reassured and confident about the process and the options available to me. The client care document I received afterwards was also incredibly thorough and included everything we had discussed, along with additional useful information. It was clear that a lot of care and attention had gone into preparing it. I’m extremely grateful for Francesca’s kindness, professionalism and reassurance, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for support and advice during what can be a very difficult time.

I’m really happy to share my experience with Ellisons Solicitors, especially Meenal Goyal ji, who handled Skilled Dependant Visa application for me and my son very professionally. We received our visa in short time. Thank you so much for all your help and support. I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

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.
