About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Very impressed
My wife and I approached Scott Bailey to complete our wills. We had been with a different law firm in Lymington, who had become quite awful. We did the right thing, as Scott Bailey was excellent. Very professional. A big shout-out to Danielle.

As a Lawyer and an Executor based in Cyprus, I needed assistance with a UK probate, and Alexandra Bridle handled the the UK process with exceptional professionalism and care from start to finish. She was always incredibly informative, taking the time to explain each stage clearly. Her advice was consistently helpful and practical. Beyond her expertise, she was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I am extremely grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone needing assistance with probate matters in the UK.

I recently met with Katie Dougan regarding the updating of my Will. I had excellent service/advice and my request was dealt with efficiently and speedily. Would highly recommend. I have used Scott Bailey for our previous house sales/purchases and would highly recommend them in that area too.

I have been benefitting from legal advice from Scott Bailey for over 20 years. They have always been extremely helpful and given me sound guidance on all my property transactions and also Wills & Trusts. To a layman these complex subjects are often daunting and overwhelming. This is where SB have exceeded all my expectations by ensuring I am knowledgeable and comfortable with every part of the process. I am pleased to have formed good relationships with the people I need to speak to and it feels like nothing is too much trouble. They are consistently obliging and courteous, efficient and effective. My recent experience was withing the Wills & Trusts department. Once again - I was able to reach the person I needed (in this case - Toby) within minutes and Toby had the information at his fingertips. I am delighted to be able to have full confidence in the whole team and I thoroughly recommend Scott Bailey.
Dear Toni, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this review. It is wonderful to read about your experience over the last 20 years - and we are so pleased to have been able to support you through various legal processes along the way! We really are touched by your kind words, your ongoing trust and your heartfelt recommendation. - The Scott Bailey team

I can’t praise Scott Bailey enough for their support in selling my late mum’s property. Victoria Smalley, Associate Partner, was exceptional — professional, responsive, and always one step ahead. She kept us fully informed, ensured we understood each stage, and handled the complexities of an estate sale with overseas beneficiaries with real care. A difficult situation was made far easier thanks to her dedication. Highly recommended.
