Excellent service processing probate

Lanyon Bowdler have provided an excellent service while dealing with my late father's estate.
Emma Deering was always easy to contact, communicated clearly and worked efficiently throughout. Although she was based in an office 100 miles away, using Zoom, email and telephone she was always available to explain and answer queries.
I would recommend the service highly and would use Emma again when we need any other probate work done.

Family Law

We approached Lanyon Bowdler seeking advice for my son who was not getting consistent, meaningful access to his daughter. We were put in contact with Caroline York, who gave us concise, useful and helpful advice. Our case went on to become more complicated than we ever thought possible, we had to attend court numerous times, which was extremely stressful for my son and his family. Caroline was with us every step of the way, her knowledge was outstanding. We trusted Caroline as we knew she had our best interests. I highly recommend Caroline York if anyone has the unfortunate need of a solicitor. There are no words to express how grateful we are that we were put in touch with Caroline.

Difficult Time Made Easy

Facing one’s own mortality is not easy. Lanyon Bowdler solicitors made the whole process less emotional and I was confident that my loved ones would find it relatively pain free and easier to cope. I would recommend Lanyon Bowdler without reservation or hesitation.

(Medical negligence case)I would rate them 0 if I could(have 3 years to bring the case to be investigated and served)wasted nine months,completely blanked for the last two months before dropping my wife's case by letter,concerned with their potential profits only without any expert reports on my wife's claim or condition of negligence investigated.My wife's case is now won with CLmedilaw,and the stark contrast of professionalism was quite astounding.

A client

Do not use Lanyon Bowdler for private client / probate / will matters. The solicitors here are disengaged and lack compassion for bereaved families. The firm spins matters out to maximise fees. Years after instructing them to deal with a simple estate, they have yet to transfer the sums due to a local charity. The service is overpriced, uncaring and unfortunately not competent.

Excellent service and would thoroughly recommend

Big thank you to Karen Bell for all her help and guidance during the conveyancing of our first home. From start to finish the process was very efficient, straightforward and we were kept well informed. Karen is very friendly, approachable and easy to speak to and as we were first timers, guided us through the process and explained everything very well. Thank you!
