Efficient service

Had to engage a Solicitor at very short notice to complete some work prior to financial year end. Blown away by the efficiency and flexibility of the Gloucester team who couldn’t have been more helpful.

Went to court an hour earlier as instructed by solicitor to speak to barrister because she had arranged it. Ended up waiting around because barrister had not been informed of any early meeting.

A representative from WSP Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 10 January, 2024:

We are really sorry you feel disappointed about the organisation of the meeting with a barrister. Please do contact us directly if you would like to discuss this further.

in the case of money and property in divorce it seems to me important not to waste time and money arguing about this but rather get to realistic expectations fast. Simon did this.

About this branch

Description

WSP Solicitors was established following the merger of three local firms that had been providing legal advice in Gloucestershire for more than two centuries: Winterbothams, A E Smith & Son and Penleys. Indeed, Penleys LLP was one of the oldest legal firms in the South West, having been established in Dursley by John Vizard in 1758. Family member William Vizard even acted for Queen Caroline when George IV tried to divorce her. Our heritage is important to us; one of our present solicitors is the great-grandson of Reginald Herbert Penley who retired from the firm in 1905. We still operate in the Cotswold towns of Stroud and Dursley. We also have a city office in the centre of Gloucester to allow us to support even more people across the county. Today, we pride ourselves on using our uncomplicated approach to help people from all walks of life with their personal and business legal affairs. Our ethos of making life less complicated applies to everything we do – including our fees. We’ll always be honest and upfront about our legal costs and give you a fixed estimate before we act on your behalf. We’ll provide regular fee updates and never incur additional charges without your authority. And if your transaction goes particularly smoothly (and less time is spent on it than we initially envisaged) we’ll even lower your bill. What could be simpler than that?
