Sparlings Solicitors

I became involved in a Will dispute when my parents died. They had always assured both my Brother & I that their estate was to be split 50/50 between us, and wrote joint wills to this effect which stood for 20 years. Sadly, upon their deaths, it became apparent that they had changed their wills, with the assistance and input of my Brother, to cut me out of their estate completely. I challenged the wills and engaged Sparlings to represent me in this and James Gomm became my Solicitor. His advice was always diligent and professional, his counsel wise and he always kept me realistic about what the limits were of what we could likely achieve. He undertook a thorough investigation of the evidence, and identified anomalies in the Will Files and associated paperwork which suggested undue influence may have been used to persuade my elderly parent to remove me from being a beneficiary of their estate. This enabled him to achieve a satisfactory settlement on my behalf, for which I cannot thank him enough.

I was guided through the process with extreme kindness, compassion and professionalism by my Solicitor Malina. I felt very supported during a very distressing and difficult time.

Sparlings made a mistake on a simple will and keep after 5 years and a court case of which we won still not paying out the due money. Do not trust this company they seem to not care or abide by the court ruling’s. Leaving us devastated and still not allowing us to put our relatives estate to rest !

Dear Lynn, We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We have read your comments and appreciate the opportunity to respond. We must respectfully clarify that this matter does not relate to a simple Will- it concerns the administration of a complex estate involving two interlinked estates, in which legal proceedings have taken place. We are currently reviewing the position and will revert to you once the fee-earner assigned to this matter has had the opportunity to fully assess the case. This follows the departure of Laura Gajewska from the firm, and it was not possible for a full response to be provided immediately yesterday, as requested. We do not accept the characterisation presented in this review, which appears to have arisen due to the inability to provide an instant update on what is a complex and ongoing matter. We remain committed to progressing this case appropriately and will be in contact with you shortly but the fee-earner assigned to this case does need sufficient time to be able to review the case(s).

Used James Gomm a few years ago and had a good experience! This time around I used Kay for conveyancing to purchase our first house! She is amazing! She worked hard to get things done for us and responded quickly, if she couldn’t get the answers she directed you down the right path in order to get what you needed! Amazing! Would highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience working with Solicitor " Ramsha Shahid" . From the very beginning, she guided me with clarity, patience, and professionalism. Throughout my visa process, she was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and her timely support made a very stressful journey much easier for me. Even during unexpected issues at the biometrics office, her preparation and guidance ensured everything went smoothly in the end. She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely cares about her clients. I am truly grateful for her outstanding service and highly recommend Ramsha to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive immigration solicitor. Thank you, Ramsha, for all your help your support has been invaluable!

My experience with Sparlings has been extremely poor. I am beneficiary of an estate for which Sparlings are acting as executors. Communication has been consistently unacceptable, with long periods of silence, refusal at times to communicate by email insisting instead on postal communication, and months of delay for even the simplest requests. This created completely avoidable stress and frustration during an already difficult time. When responses did finally arrive, they were often vague, incomplete, or raised more questions than they answered. Despite the file being handed between multiple staff members, the same issues persisted throughout, indicating a wider problem with organisation and client care rather than an isolated oversight. In my view, this firm has shown a lack of professionalism, transparency, and efficiency. Based on our experience, I would strongly discourage others from using their services.

I was recommended Sparlings Solicitors by family and I’m so glad I chose them for my first home purchase. Kay was professional, approachable, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Everything was explained clearly, and she was always quick to respond to my questions, which really helped make the experience less stressful. The whole process felt smooth and well-managed from start to finish. I’d happily recommend Kay and the team at Sparlings to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and efficient conveyancing support.

I would just like to thank Paul Connolly for his help in a small legal matter that I was having difficulty resolving. It was so refreshing to talk to someone with a common sense and a no nonsense approach, who wasn't trying to charge the earth, something which seemed to be severely lacking in the other local firms who I had contacted before being lucky enough to find Paul. Sparlings will certainly be my first port of call for any other legal matters I have to deal with.
