Was Going to use them, NOT NOW AFTER READING REVIEWS.

I was looking for a Solicitor as my Legal Expenses Insurers are going to fund my case, after looking at these reviews I will not be using them, these reviews of the experience of clients by this company are very useful and help us avid having our cases aborted and made into a financial disaster.

I thank all the victims for sharing their experiences of this company and helping me avoid using them.

Very poor service.

This review is for a different branch.

Irwin Mitchell took three years and charged many thousands of pounds to assemble a case for deputyship that failed.

They made many failures and their own complaints procedure (after a few snide insults) agreed to pay me back a portion of those fees.

Following this I appealed by myself, costing me nothing except a few hours work. In a 10 minute conversation I changed the mind of the judge who ruled against deputyship.

It's much harder to to change someone's mind. Irwin Mitchell did a very poor job, messing up on numerous points. It felt as if they viewed it as an exercise in making money.

Medical Negligence helped to get answers and secure positive outcomes

This review is for a different branch.

Last year my wife passed away whilst in a mental health hospital. Initially, the NHS Trust tried to justify the circumstances and did not seem to acknowledge their failings in keeping my wife safe. So without Irwin Mitchell's help, the family would not have got the answers we deserved.

The Irwin Mitchell team (Thomas Riss-Bristow, Larrisa Harpley & Adam Wisman) were brilliant from the start, helping to gather all the required evidence, liaising with the Coroners office and the NHS legal representatives and then supporting the family during a week-long Inquest and the following legal discussions that came after. The team were professional, compassionate and caring throughout and I would highly recommend Tom and the team as they were key in helping us to get answers during these traumatic times.

Messed about and ripped off

This review is for a different branch.

appointed these following a dispute with a kitchen retailer who took my money upfront and failed to complete the job
They have ripped me and my insurance company off for approximately 50 grand taken almost 3 years to achieve nothing, had me pay out over £2500 for independent inspection reports all 100% favouring my claim and have now walked away after myself and my family have lived and suffered in a partly fitted kitchen and they advised me to leave it in such a Way as to give the retailer a fare chance to come back and compete the works

The company that carried out the report also dealt with legal matters and they quoted 5k to take the case on however I’d already engaged with Irwin Mitchell

To say it’s not fair is an understatement

Better and cheaper options out there!

This review is for a different branch.

Be careful as to whom you put down as an executor of a will because if it's a solicitors the charges for probate/dealing with the estate "could" run into thousands as per the experience here, and it's difficult to nigh impossible to remove them without having to go through a court. Whether it's charging by the hour or charging a percentage of the estate I am sure many don't realise how much this will cost because of course when you write a will you may have no idea of the fees that they will charge. So my advice is if your loved one has made a will through a solicitor maybe an uncomfortable conversation may be best to avoid a massive shock later. We will never know if using Irwin Mitchell as an executor was the wish of our loved one or if possible (alleged) "persuasion" was a factor when the will was being set up. I know our loved one would be horrified if they were still here.

Great Service

This review is for a different branch.

From the first call with Daniella Colton, she was so supportive which made me feel settled about the choices I had to make. Because of this, I chose to go with Irwin Mitchell for this reason and she was fantastic right to the very end making sure I fully understood everything along the way.

Feeling listened to and supported

I am so pleased and relieved I had a personal and professional firm, Irwin Mitchell Solicitors dealing with my sons case. I felt in good hands with Nicola McCartney, who provided support and advice throughout this journey. She was highly professional and knowledgable and she always kept me well informed of any progress. She genuinely cared. That makes a difference when dealing with legal matters. Feeling listened to and feeling supported. Thank you Nicola for all your support, wouldn’t have achieved anything without you! I would definitely recommend Irwin Mitchell Solicitors to my friends and family.

Great service and support

My family and I were severely injured in a horrific road traffic accident. Nicola and Mary-Jo from Irwin Mitchell Solicitors were extremely committed to our cases for over two years. Our cases were complex and our solicitors supported us with quality legal advice, guiding our claims with meticulous scrutiny throughout the process. We had trust in Irwin Mitchell, knowing they were working for our best interests, and, they, whilst always extremely professional, related to us with compassion and understanding.
