    These solicitors are the most disgraceful, unprofessional and incompetent people I’ve ever had to deal with in my life! The lack of communication and the disgusting attitudes from them on a constant basis will genuinely aggravate you more than your current situation! I’m being dead serious when I say this ! AVOID THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS ! They do not fight your corner, they do not communicate with people that are involved including yourself or officers (if they are involved) and when you reach out to retrieve information about your case you get ignored for no reason or a nasty attitude back ! Now idea how they’re still in business and they’ve made my mental health much worse than it needed to be !

      Five star service

      We recently asked Karen Woods from Russell and Russell to act for us in the sale of our home and in the purchase of our new one . Karen, Eileen and Diane were absolutely brilliant from start to finish - so professional, approachable,responsive and efficient. They were very friendly, quick to respond , reliable and extremely competent . They always answered our questions patiently and clearly , and ensured that the process moved along as smoothly and quickly as possible . We would never use another firm of solicitors, they have acted for us before and were brilliant on that occasion too. We trust them . Thank you Karen, Eileen and Diane, you are the Dream Team!

      Rebecca Hodge is a credit to your firm and an absolute pleasure to deal with. This was the first (and hopefully only!) time I've used a solicitor for a personal injury claim and I was very happy with the outcome. Being new to legal matters some of the letters could be a bit scary as its not something I've had to understand before. Rebecca was brilliant at explaining everything in an honest, friendly and professional manner. I will be recommending the firm to others, especially thanks to Rebecca. I had a couple of solicitors during this case but Rebecca was the standout. I'm very grateful for the hard work of everyone involved in the case. Thank you!

      Russell and Russell were, without doubt, the most disappointing solicitors I have ever dealt with. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to think carefully before proceeding. The entire process appeared poorly managed, with important tasks repeatedly left until the last minute, resulting in unnecessary stress and delays. There seemed to be little accountability when mistakes were made, and the level of customer service was extremely poor throughout.

      A representative from Russell & Russell Solicitors LLP responded to this review

      Dear Katie We are sorry that you have had a negative experience with Russell and Russell. We pride ourselves on offering high quality client care and we are sorry if you feel our service has not lived up to this standard.
