About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

What clients say about Thompson Smith And Puxon LLP
The firm specialises in wills, LPAs, conveyancing (purchase/sale), probate, family/financial settlements and some clinical negligence and employment work. Clients praise technical expertise, efficiency and successful outcomes. Valued soft skills include approachability, patience, clear explanations, professionalism, responsiveness and personable customer service. Negative feedback centres on inconsistent communication, delays, missed deadlines, unexpected cost increases and occasional poor ownership of matters; a few clients reported significant frustration and financial consequences from these faults. Overall reviews are largely positive but highlight variability between individual fee earners.

Dispute Resolution
I had a one-third interest in a property (a beach hut) and was attempting to buy the remaining two-thirds from the other owners. Instead of negotiating in good faith, they changed the locks and put the property up for sale without my knowledge or consent. I contacted Thompson, Smith & Puxon for legal advice, and Anisa Khan immediately took the time to understand the full picture, including the finer details of what was really going on. In short, Anisa stopped the unlawful sale in its tracks, challenged the lock change, and made it clear that any further interference would result in legal action under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. She then helped me put forward a revised lower offer that ultimately resolved the dispute! Anisa’s knowledge, attention to detail, and steady approach made all the difference in resolving a long and unnecessary dispute.

The drafting of our wills was dealt with efficiently, professionally and rapidly. The service we received was excellent.

The whole experience of purchasing the property, which at first felt quite daunting, was dealt with courtesy, consideration and professionalism. Catherine and her colleagues made me feel highly valued and any queries I had were always dealt with promptly.

Cold, Dismissive, and Incompetent — Avoid at All Costs
Review for Louise Margiotta — Thompson Smith and Puxon I attended a 10-minute initial consultation with Louise Margiotta costing £370 plus VAT. The meeting was rushed, dismissive, and utterly lacking in meaningful legal advice or engagement. Louise repeatedly asked if I “got here okay” and demanded my full name — including my middle name — despite all my details already being provided and having passed extensive anti-money laundering checks. When I questioned this, she bluntly said she couldn’t offer legal advice without it. She also embarrassingly asked for the date of my “wedding” during a divorce consultation. The correct legal term is “marriage.” This fundamental mistake showed a shocking lack of preparation and attention. The pre-call discussions were hurried, and the intense meeting reflected a clear lack of consideration for my time and circumstances. I found Louise overbearing, lacking empathy, and unprofessional in her approach. Without any substantive discussion, Louise abruptly ended the meeting as soon as she decided we were “not compatible,” leaving me with nothing but frustration and a refund. This was less a legal consultation and more a costly compatibility test, wasting my time and money. Louise’s rushed, indifferent attitude made it clear my case was not worth her time. Adding insult to injury, Nicola Crisell’s complaint investigation was dismissive and one-sided. Despite me being a repeat client, I was never asked for my side before the complaint was closed. This disregard for repeat business is particularly disappointing. While I received a refund, I strongly advise anyone seeking clear, professional legal support to look elsewhere.
A representative from Thompson Smith And Puxon LLP responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that your visit to our office was brief—under 10 minutes—and during that time, we did our best to assist you promptly and courteously. Early in your meeting with Louise, it became clear that Thompson Smith and Puxon was not the right fit for you and this was discussed with you directly. You were issued a full refund, and were not left at any disadvantage. We also want to emphasise that we are committed to maintaining a respectful and professional environment for both our clients and our staff. We always welcome constructive feedback and remain committed to providing a high standard of service to all who seek our support.

The meeting was very informative, concise and helpful. Money well spent to address an ongoing family issue.

Extremely efficient!
We have just moved into our new home and Claire from TSP did our conveyancing. We have found the service very efficient and responsive, with the process moving along quickly and efficiently. We have always been able to get hold of Claire with any queries and there have been no delays whatsoever. Compared to our last house move, very impressed.
