Very very disappointing law firm. Time lag on advice was horrendous , emails lacking. Complained eventually and offered a discount but does not account for the wasted time and effort due to litigation advisor working at University . Went to retrieve papers from this company and they thought it funny to keep me waiting outside in the rain !!!?? Still receiving email bills ???????
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and will be looking into the matter carefully. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
There were times when we weren't kept informed and our agent had to contact them regularly to obtain updates. There were also errors in the paperwork which we had to sign some of which were very serious such the wrong consideration. Then there was an error in the completion statement which resulted in an underpayment of the account and even after correction we continued to receive automatic reminders even after settlement. Overall not a good experience.

I instructed this firm for an urgent family court matter involving my son and paid a grand total of £2,252 in fees. I initially chose them because of a robust strategy discussed with a partner, Sarah Birdsey, who I understood would oversee the direction of the work. Instead, I was passed to their Head of Family Law, Rebecca Ranson, billing at £280 per hour, who in my opinion was completely out of her depth. Instead of deploying my funds to progress my case strategically, it felt as though my money was being drained through non-constructive, administrative correspondence. Shockingly, with a critical family court deadline looming, Rebecca Ranson actually sent me an email explicitly admitting she "did not see how [her] take on the case is going to assist you." Left completely stranded and abandoned by a so-called "Family Law specialist" right before a crucial hearing, I had to protect my case by drafting my own position statement and sourcing an external barrister entirely on my own. I raised a formal, methodically evidenced complaint directly to the partner, Sarah Birdsey, regarding this lack of competent strategy and the billing. To the firm's credit, Sarah Birdsey responded immediately. Rather than going through a prolonged 20-day investigation, she offered a "without prejudice" refund of £1,500 to close the file so I could take my case elsewhere. However, this still left me £752 out of pocket for "preparation" and administrative work that effectively yielded absolutely nothing of value for my case. While I am glad they returned the bulk of my money without a prolonged fight, the immense stress of being deserted by a law firm days before a court date was completely unacceptable. If you have a time-sensitive family law or child matter, I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

We instructed Adnan on a sale and purchase. He was incredibly professional, efficient and proactive. We genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better service. We had our offer accepted early November and moved in early February! Thank you so much to Adnan and the team for being amazing. Our estate agent actually said ‘he’s making everyone else in the chain look bad because he’s so good!’ - what a superstar.

Rebecca and Isabel dealt with my case and they were very professional, but also, due to my emotional involvement, extremely patient and kind. I ranted and raved and they listened to me on repeat and were so caring. I wasn’t always a delight due to the delicate nature of my case, but they dealt with a highly emotionally charged situation with a great deal of consideration and kindness.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review - it really helps to motivate the team to continue to provide a high level of service. We are pleased to hear that Rebecca and Isabel dealt with your case with compassion and support.

With a strict family court deadline looming, I was left completely stranded without the strategic legal backing I paid for.

Kristel from Nicholls looked after my house purchase. Although the house took 7 months to complete (no chain, newish build) due to the slow working pace of the vendor's solicitor and the council, Kristel was always quick to respond to my emails, and always kept me updated about the progress. She also gave me good and pragmatic advice whenever required. I think the overall costs were reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend her!
