Great service and advice!
Sam was great as my solicitor in a very difficult property purchase. I was kept informed of all developments and appreciated Sam's clear thinking and advice on tricky issues. I would definitely recommend him.
Samuel Harley from Jamieson Alexander Limited responded to this review on 31 July, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure helping you through what I know was a very challenging property purchase. Your recommendation means a lot, and I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me.

Jamieson Alexander made large errors in work, costing me >50k!
DO NOT HIRE THEM. this is a bad firm that messed us my legal case completely, resulting in me losing tens of thousands of points. The senior lawyers at this firm made mistakes in my legal paperwork and refused to admit this until a court ruled on it. They have no concept of customer service and their billings are inaccurate and they cannot be relied on. Furthermore the staff turnover is so high, nearly all of the team I worked with is no longer there, due to the leadership of Alexander Pappin who oversees this mess of a firm and has failed to resolve his firms poor service to me.

Samuel Harley - amazing lawyer
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Samuel Harley for the great support throughout our property purchase. He’s been clear, responsive, and always on top of everything – even when things got complicated. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident knowing he was handling the legal side. Would definitely recommend working with him.
Samuel Harley from Jamieson Alexander Limited responded to this review on 31 July, 2025:

Professional, Speedy, Knowledgable & Communicative
Couldn't believe my luck having Samuel Harley as my solicitor. The other 2 parties in the transaction ended up being very jealous of me having the best and fastest person for the job. Constantly quick and infromed responses, went above and beyond. Heard of so many horror stories with slow solicitors wasting time & money - and this was the opposite experience. Recommended him to everyone. Thanks Sam!
Samuel Harley from Jamieson Alexander Limited responded to this review on 31 July, 2025:
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. I’m delighted to hear that you felt supported throughout your transaction and that my approach helped things move efficiently. Property purchases can often be challenging, so I’m glad I could make the process smoother for you. Your recommendation is truly appreciated.

Lola our solicitor at Jamieson Alexander worked on the sale and purchase of our house move. She did a fantastic job and kept us updated regularly which made the process less stressful and reassuring to know what was happening each step of the way. We would definitely recommend her and the company.

This was the most terrible experience I've ever had with a law firm.Please be careful and do not make the same mistake I did in trusting this firm with important legal work and an important legal case. The staff turnover is so bad that my case was passed from person to person until it went all the way up to the head of the firm - Alexander Pappin. An extremely rude and condescending man and the firm has still not fixed my issue and lost the cases I gave them! My new law firm was x10 better.

Catherine's experience...
I couldn't have been happier with the service we received. We changed mid-sale process due to out previous solicitors being very poor and Lola made that a distant memory with her excellent response times and comprehensive replies.
