Palmer’s Solicitor Superb

Mr Sirrell was amazing dealing with our case. Very professional, and to the point, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Palmers and Mr Sirrell in the event a solicitor is required.

I have had, once again, an extremely positive experience with my Conveyancing Solicitor, Erin Cronin. Through a very difficult sale she was always so thorough, helpful and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure dealing with her.

Deed of Variation and Estate Management

I initially approached Palmers in relation to a simple transfer of ownership of my late father's property. However, after going through all the details the solicitor suggested approaching the matter a different way. This benefitted the estate's beneficiaries, it also identified shortcomings in previous legal work undertaken by other legal firms. It was pleasing to have experienced and understanding people explain things clearly and professionally.

Avoid This Firm Almost six months into a no-chain sale and we are no closer to completion. What should have been a straightforward transaction has turned into months of unnecessary delay, poor communication, and a complete lack of urgency. The bar for conveyancing competence is not particularly high, yet Palmers Law and Kay Hales in particular have somehow managed to fall well below it.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE trying to sell my flat. If I could have given zero I would have. I instructed Palmer's solicitors in the first week in March, my property sale completed in mid September. While this in some cases is not abnormal, my buyer had no chain and in the May my purchase had failed through and therefore I had no chain as the sale was still to go ahead. So this timeline felt obscenely long. They made errors on documents where the information had been sent to them weeks of not months prior. Trying to get a response via phone or e mail is impossible (they seem to constantly be on annual leave with no one covering) and when you do get through via the phone they don't have a clue what's happening and always say 'i will chase that up' for literally weeks on the same topic. I actually ended up calling my buyer and his solicitors to see what the hold up was on something Palmer's stated they had sent, they had in fact not received this document. This was an unnecessarily painful experience for what should have been a simple sale yet they seem to take on so many clients they can't handle them. If you're happy for your sale or purchase to go at a glacial pace then you've found your people because lord knows they don't do anything fast, or even a normal speed, in my experience. Avoid this and go with literally any other firm, literally ANYONE would be better than these so called professionals.

Personal Injury

Personal injury- success and belief - Thankyou

My experience pre Jenifer & Palmers was 3 years of pain juggling, navigating and utter denial from the other side, so I feel personally incredibly fortunate to have had my solicitor- Jenifer supporting me through my personal injury claim. While I appreciate this is her profession, I never once felt like Just a client (ok maybe first visit ) - her experience expertise and level of care truly exceeded my expectations. Bringing not only professionalism, but a warmth and even moments of laughter when most needed. She believed in me from the very beginning and guided me with professionalism, clarity, and I felt genuine care throughout. At times the process felt overwhelming, but she always reassured me and kept everything on track. Consulted but given time to process like an invisible guiding hand, decisions made together What made the biggest difference was her personal approach — she was always approachable, supportive, and took the time to explain things in a way I could fully understand. Thanks to her, I have been able to bring a very difficult chapter to a close, with a success outcome and I will always be grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly cares- Jenifer Hitchen - trusting someone to have your corner is exactly what she did , and i will be eternally grateful. With Heart felt thanks Rachel

Terrible Law Firm, been dealing with our simple case for months and months. No communication, never contacts us unless prompted and complained against. Case handlers leave without informing you, cases don't get handed over. Avoid this firm for probate and will execution, at all costs. (which I am sure will be sizable once they send us the bill, for their terrible service)
