Incompetent

Misdrafted a relative's will resulting in loss of £200,000 to the estate and then lied about it and trying to reclaim the money from beneficiaries. Legal Ombudsman made unprecedented award against them and they still will not admit their basic error. Still advertising as experts in wills and probate. Charlatans.

Very efficient

James Baker and staff has done an excellent job for us with our house purchases and sale. They always kept us informed of progress.

Excellent

James Baker dealt with our (abortive) conveyancing. I found him to be very professional and efficient in his advice and was kept up to date on matters progressing. Unlike some other solicitors I have dealt with, he was personable and approachable and always made himself accessible if I ever telephoned the office. Would certainly recommend.

TERRIBLE

Unprofessional, rude, arrogant! These are the only words to describe a Company that does not respond to e-mails or respond to the complaints procedure as set out in their own "Code of Conduct". Service is non existent. They took 5 years salary from an intestacy estate, during which time, benefactors were sent one letter notifying them of very little. Sandra Lanaway was very dismissive of my original complaint and has been very unprofessional in not responding to my requests to provide copies of invoices from a particular company. Nor has she responded to my official complaint.

Exceptional local firm

I have used Cooper Lingard on many occasions since we were introduced in 2006.

I can highly recommend Sandie Lanaway for most matters. Especially family and employment. She is pragmatic and has a very direct approach, supporting her clients with a great deal of knowledge and wisdom.

I have worked with Richard Phillips on a complex real estate deal and found his steady lead to be the rock I came to rely upon.

I have worked with various other colleagues at the firm, and all I recommend .

It is important to be able to trust a solicitor and allow them to remove emotion from the situation.

Rude

My husband and I went into their offices this morning—have used them in the past and they did and hold our wills—we had to wait f or the receptionist to show up—no problem—not long—I was then about half way thru my question when the phone rang—excuse me she says—LEAVES US STANDING THERE—and takes the call. We bothered to go in—and that is the “respect” she shows us—
Why on earth would we ever bother to go back?? WE WON’T
