A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review

Thank you for leaving a review. I have spoken to the lawyer who dealt with your matter. As you know, there were significant issues with your pension company, the title to your property and the occupational lease. There was a significant amount of lawyer time and effort taken up to resolve these difficulties, and that work was outside the scope of our original fee estimate.

Because of the employees of this company my family will become homeless for a month or more. After I was deceived by another company, I started looking for a new one, and found this one, with a more or less high rating, but the rating is not an indicator of the quality of the work. My wife and I reached an agreement with the lawyers of this company about a deal to buy an apartment. We were told that we needed everything to be done as quickly as possible, since the lease agreement for the apartment was coming to an end. We were assured that everything would be in the best possible way. After 1.5 months, the simple deal to buy an apartment was still not completed. When I tried to call this company, I only heard phone beeps. After 2.5 weeks they deigned to answer me and were very surprised by my indignation, but they gave me a specific time frame when we could move into our new apartment. I barely managed to persuade my landlord to extend the lease for another month. After 3 weeks I couldn't get through to them again. They picked up the phone only 2 days ago and said with disdain that the deal would be delayed for at least a month. As a result, my family will become homeless for a month or more, and all because of the unprofessionalism of the lawyers of this company. If you want to buy an apartment, I categorically do not recommend this company. Disgusting communication with clients, deception in terms of transaction execution. They just want to squeeze as much money out of you as possible, and do nothing about it. Absolutely deserved one point. If it were possible to give less, I would.

I recently used Paris Smith Solicitors for a new build, and I was very disappointed. They didn't inform me about the full costs upfront, and I ended up with unexpected charges. The lack of transparency was really frustrating, and I felt misled throughout the process. I would recommend being cautious and considering other options, as my experience was not positive.

A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review

Dear Dr Negahdar We are sorry to hear you felt disappointed with the process. A fee quote was given at the outset of the transaction based on the information given to us. Your requirements then changed, which meant additional work needed to be carried out. Before carrying out that work we let you know that we charge additional fees for dealing with mortgages and you chose not to proceed. No charges were ultimately levied and we closed our file in accordance with your instructions. Kind regards. Paris Smith LLP

Professional and Highly Recommendable

I was recommended to Paris Smith and Michael Moore several years ago, and I have never been disappointed with the service, expertise and professionalism they have provided throughout my dealings with them. They were engaged to guide me through the process of successfully exiting my business, a journey that inevitably presents a number of challenges and hurdles that can be daunting fir any business owner. Throughout the process, Michael Moore and Alex Pegg provided the business with clear, concise and highly knowledgeable advice, drawing on their extensive experience and expertise in this area. Their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to navigate what can be a complex and demanding process instilled me with considerable confidence. They were always approachable, responsive and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone seeking expertise and support within the commercial arena.

Compassion & integrity

Grace assisted me earlier this year when I experienced an employment situation I never expected to face, after 30 years of loyal service I was in resettlement negotiations with my employer when I was invited to attend a private conversation. I had already been talking to Grace regards the resettlement from the US back to the UK when the conversation was integrated. Grace immediately called me back & was true compassion & integrity guided us through the whole negotiation process with experienced sound advice & a "we will win" attitude which in our time of need exactly the support we needed. I cannot recommend Grace highly enough & praise her professionalism, manner & overall goodness. We will be forever thankful for all her help & wish her a bright long lasting career!

Great first time buying experience

I was recommended Delicia by a friend and was not disappointed. She and her firm were responsive and proactive - I never had to chase them for anything. Although the purchase process had some hiccoughs, I was reassured by their attention to detail and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else. Possibly not the cheapest out there, but you get what you pay for and I wouldn't want to save on this sort of thing if it meant poorer service. I've heard stories from friends of mistakes in the documents their solicitors provided them, but I had no such experience with Paris Smith, everything was great.
