Mr Ali impressed me greatly with his deep knowledge of the subject matter. He explained everything with exceptional clarity, always ensuring I felt informed and at ease. Beyond his professionalism, he was a truly kind and considerate man - someone who genuinely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking expert guidance and conpassionate support.

Samantha Hamilton

Thanks for your review! Mullis & Peake LLP Solicitors Your review is pending.Read more Helen carey 2 reviews GB Rated 1 out of 5 stars Samantha Hamilton has been dealing with… Samantha Hamilton has been dealing with my daughters finances since 2015 since my daughter moved into residential care . She has never met my daughter who is mentally and physically handicapped with rett syndrome with no capacity but when I asked for items for her that she needs to help her in her daily life , wheelchair mobility car ect all I get told is my daughter does not have enough money which I find unbelievable as in the 9 years they have dealt with her finances my daughter has only had peanuts of them and keep refusing items that she really needs . They have allowed her money to accumulate so much that dwp have now stopped her benefits so please can someone make this make sense in my head that she has no funds but yet dwp have stopped her benefits because she has to much money that they have just let accumulated over the 9 years . I have never even spoken with Samantha Hamilton or set eyes on her and neither has my daughter so how can someone make these decisions when they don't even understand my girls needs . How is my daughter supposed to access the community and she has missed out on so much like weddings and family functions because there is no way of getting her to these places without an adapted vehicle . We are taking black cabs everywhere which is costing a small fortune and I am left to buy everything she needs out of my own pocket because it kills me to see her go without when there is no need for this as she had plenty of funds that they refuse her access to . So I'm sorry my advise is to avoid this company if you wish your loved ones to have a good standard of life then go somewhere else because she had taken my poor daughters life away and allows her to live in poverty when there is no need for this . I'm treated like some common crimal and get told that she hasn't got a bottomless money when I ask for things that my daughter actually needs. My daughter has grown out of her wheelchair and her feet are actually falling through the foot rest so when asked to purchase a new one I was told to go to NHS which is around a years waiting list and we did actually go to NHS in March of this year and she got refused because all they can offer her is a basic wheelchair which just isn't suitable for her needs . I have had enough now so will be complaining to everyone that mattes until we can get the power of attorney taken of this company Date of experience: 20 June 2024

A representative from Mullis & Peake LLP responded to this review

We are not able to respond directly to confidential client information. However, we can respond generally. Samantha Hamilton is a Panel Deputy which means that she is appointed by the Court of Protection in cases where an independent person needs to act as deputy to manage finances for individuals needing assistance. Unfortunately, this can be in cases of conflict within a family or where the Court has found that a family member is not able to act as deputy. Deputies are supervised by the Office of the Public Guardian and provide annual reports on management of finances. This includes detailing all income and spending, along with decisions made on behalf of the person. In accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, a deputy must manage finances in a person’s best interests. Family members do not always agree on these decisions, but they take into account the person’s capital, income and age. The deputy needs to ensure that finances are managed to ensure funds are available for future as well as current needs. Reasons for these decisions are communicated, including that sometimes funds are awaited before purchases or final decisions can be made. We are required to ensure that the work we do is undertaken at the appropriate level, so the deputy might not meet the person on a regular basis, but others in the department will be in regular contact and arrange meetings as appropriate and necessary. Face to face meetings can be more difficult to organise when a client is moved a great distance away to be closer to family members.

Thank you Roger Clark and Mullis & Peake LLP

We’re really grateful to Roger Clark of Mullis & Peake LLP for all his work towards the purchase of my mother’s warden assisted flat and subsequent sale of her bungalow. Roger was very easy to reach by phone and no question was too much trouble. He provided extremely clear explanations for everything we wanted to know enabling us to feel very confident about all aspects of the process. We would definitely use Roger again and thoroughly recommend his services to others.

Appalling Service

My brother and I were advised to use M&P to deal with the estate of our late Great Aunt - 18 months later it still has not been finalised. I accept that Covid would have caused a delay; however communication from them has been poor and usually only received when chased for a progress report. When final estate accounts were eventually provided they were incorrect with obvious mistakes and missing information provided to them months ago. A prompt resolution to this issue was again promised but only after we reworked the accounts and sent a correct version for their perusal. An email from a para legal rather than the solicitor followed with yet another apology promising contact the following week and surprise surprise two weeks later we still have heard nothing. Have we had value for money for the £7000 fees? Absolutely not! Has Behiye Karaman provided us with a great service? No! If I could leave a zero star review I would…. UPDATE FOLLOWING THEIR REPLY - I am a real client of Mullis &Peake! If they can’t even find me on their system then something has gone terribly wrong!!

I am grateful for the thorough and informative approach to clients. I appreciate the patience afforded to myself and family when there was a delay in us completing some forms.

I recently used Mullis & Peake for both my property purchase and for preparing my Will and Declaration of Trust, and I’m very pleased with the overall service. A special thank you to Denise Tottman, who handled my property purchase. She was professional, thorough, and kept me well informed throughout the process. Also, Muhammad Ali did an excellent job with my Will and Declaration of Trust—clear, knowledgeable, and very helpful in explaining everything in a straightforward way. Although the process took a little longer than expected, the level of care, attention to detail, and support I received more than made up for it. I always felt that my matters were in safe hands. Overall, a 5-star experience. I would definitely recommend Mullis & Peake to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal services.

Mullis and Peake have dealt with both my late Mum's Estate and my own Will Update and Lasting Power of Attorney. Anne Wijayarathne was my Solicitor throughout. She was very efficient, kept my updated with everything but at the same time, understanding, friendly and patient as I navigated these difficult tasks. On her representation of Mullis and Peake, I would definitely recommend to friends.

We have had an excellent experience with M&P. Our situation involved some complex family matters that required careful handling, and Roisin McCorry provided outstanding support throughout. Her guidance was not only professional but also empathetic, and she played a key role in helping us achieve a positive resolution. Additionally, Paul Fursman assisted us with a property purchase. His professionalism and prompt responses to our queries ensured the process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. Based on our experience, I highly recommend M&P for a wide range of legal services. Their expertise and client-focused approach truly set them apart.

Esra is an exceptional solicitor — highly professional, approachable, and always easy to contact. Throughout my divorce proceedings, she was incredibly understanding and compassionate. I had very little knowledge of the divorce process, and Esra guided me through each stage with clarity and patience. Esra is a true asset to Mullis & Peake, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any divorce or family law matters. Thank you to Esra and the team at Mullis & Peake. I can now look forward to the next chapter of my life knowing everything has been finalised.

I found Vernon to be extremely responsive throughout the conveyancing process. His clear communication helped ease what was, at times a stressful process that wasn't easy to understand. Vernon kindly acommdated a short-notice appointment at his office, as I was travelling some distance, which was very much appreciated. Thank you, Vernon, excellent customer care really does make all the difference.
