Great Conveyancing Service

I have recently used Richard Griffiths and Co to carry out the conveyancing on a property I have just sold. From the initial contact to completion, I cannot fault their service. All of the team are friendly and knowledgeable and work closely with you to keep you updated every stage of the way. My personal solicitor was Amy and I was impressed with her professional, yet personal service. She really went above and beyond to get the sale processed as quickly as possible. I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. I would have no reservations in recommending Richard Griffiths & Co for anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a property. Thanks again!

Avoid in cases where common sense and intelligence are required.

I was called to an interview at the police station in New Milton so I made arrangements to have a solicitor meet me there. The case had the potential to become quite serious however the solicitor wasn't interested in talking outside the station and away from the police, which would have been watching and listening. Whether that evidence would be admissible is besides the point, I want someone that actually cares about my safety. I then proceeded to tell him about what had happened and explained how I could easily avoid some of the charges. When I asked him about the legality of these things he looked at me like I was talking another language. I literally had to explain the laws to him. Even then he wasn't convinced I would get away with it and wouldn't even entertain the idea that I was right.

As it turned out, I was exactly right, the main charges were dropped and I went to court on very minor issues. Since the solicitor was so convinced I would end up in crown court and ultimately prison, the guy they sent to Southampton magistrates had no idea what was going on and only thought he was turning up for technical reasons as the case would then be heard in crown court. I had to explain to him this wasn't the case and he would be defending me as it stood in magistrates court. He then had to go over all the details of the case there and then, delaying the court by almost an hour and having to apply for legal aid on a laptop that didn't work.

The whole experience was shambolic to say the least. The initial guy (Brian McMonnies) had no idea what he was doing and then the guy at court (R Tan) had no idea why he was there. They seem to believe anyone that gets in to trouble with the police must be moronic and incapable of complex thought. To have to explain the law to a solicitor is ridiculous.

I could go on at great length about all the issues I had with this company but I will leave it there.

Avoid if you care about your rights and freedoms being protected.

Will Writing

This review is for a different branch.

Based on my experience I would not recommend using this company. It took 8 months to get mirror wills written for my wife and I - what should have been a very simple and straightforward process. The delay, excuses and abysmal communication in response to my repeated E mails was appalling. I was repeatedly having to chase them to secure any kind of progress and would not use them again under any circumstances.

Neil Adams was available at fairly short notice at Christmas to advise on a problem which he did in a calm professional and friendly manner. He had researched our problem before meeting us and was able to advise us of the best way to proceed to enable us to reach an amicable solution. We would be pleased to use him again.

Ann Ellery was amazing, after picking up my case at very short notice, I will admit to being slightly concerned. Ann totally understood my case from the start, picked up on every issue and ran with it! Ann went above and beyond, a cliche I know but very true
Thank you Ann, so much appreciated

Will Writing for my parents

This review is for a different branch.

Shadi recently made wills for my parents and she went over and above for them. I cannot recommend her enough, she was an absolute natural and filled my parents with complete comfort and confidence. They both struggled to understand and Shadi answered all the difficult question with complete ease, confidence and a simplified way that they could both understand. Would absolutely use again and thank you very much Shadi Meehan for looking after my parents

Great service for my house sale

This review is for a different branch.

Ian Rhodes provided me with a great service at a reasonable price for selling a property. Everything was done efficiently and with a great sense of humour dealing with some very silly questions from the buyers side.

Dealing with deceased’s estate, selling and buying property

This review is for a different branch.

Despite a few hiccups more on our part than anyone’s, Sharon Hawkes made my executor role much easier than I expected it would be, explaining the process clearly all the way through and being understanding where we had never been in this position before. The selling and buying of property carried out by Ian Rhodes was outstanding, extremely quick and efficient. All helped by their amazing team. Totally recommend Richard Griffiths’s & Co to everyone. Excellent service thank you!

Excellent service completing our Wills

We had our Wills and Powers of Attorney made after using Katie Dougan at Richard Griffiths & Co.
Katie made the process very easy and made us feel completely at ease by her excellent explanation of the process.
