Jason Oliver helped us with a difficult contested probate case. From the start, he inspired us with confidence. He is not only a specialist lawyer in this area but he had great common sense and gave excellent practical advice.

Action against previous solicitor

This was a complex and delicate matter that required a great deal of untangling in order to resolve it. This is included a detailed analysis of profits and loss on a Trust investment account that had to be agreed with the insurer's solicitor. After al engthy pursuit settlement was finally reached whick is best in the circumstances. I write on behalf as Trustee of the Trust and on behalf of my fellow Trustee.

A good resolution

Very impressed with Jacky and her team, who helped me recover some of the debt owed to me by a rogue trader. I appreciated her understanding and patience with such a long and often frustrating process.

Neil one of the solicitors at this firm is a man with no integrity and he enjoy power and will find ways to legally get extra money. I instructed him for an intro call and the price was agreed. I specifically told him I wanted no further work done after the call and that I did not want him to write up notes. He then went on to write up notes and charge me another £500 for that which I had told him not to do both verbally and in writing. Yet he took me to court for these as he has no integrity. Firstly he charged me for work we had not agreed and that is had told him not to do. Secondly he then added zero value and his notes was him charging me £500 to write up facts I had given him that I already knew. My experience with him is that he lack any integrity, is arrogant and rude and is on a power trip. He shown no care about me as a customer. been rude and was only looking to charge me as much as possible. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM AND NEIL if you want a good solicitor I can recommend other first as the firm that supported me afterwards where so kind and fair.

A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review

A review of this nature is always hard to read but in this particular case could have been anticipated. As we both know the outcome of the court proceedings that you refer to there is nothing I can usefully add. It speaks for itself. This firm has maintained an excellent reputation for 205 years and that would not have been possible if, as you say, its members lack integrity. We have the pleasure of working with wonderful clients; most of whom are extremely loyal and who are delighted with the service we provide. That is not to say that a firm of our size and presence does not make mistakes, but they are thankfully rare and we always do what we can to resolve them and to make sure we learn from themselves. Here no mistakes were made, and I cannot accept your criticism. Head of Family Team

Outstanding service provided by Tabytha Cunningham and her colleague Charlotte Farrell. I would highly recommend Tabytha as she provided exceptional and first class legal advice on an elongated dispute with my previous employer. Tabytha is very professional and her attention to detail is astounding. Tabytha is honest, hardworking, trusted and a brilliant individual working for a well sought after legal company - she is a real credit to Paris Smith LLP. Tabytha kept me in the loop and did exactly as she said she would and I was never let down. After two years I was happy with the outcome thanks to Tabytha's tenacity and her extreme passion in her role. Highly recommended.

I had an initial call with this firm and then told them I did not want to instruct them and did not want them to undertake any further work. They then continued to send me invoices for hours of work that had never been done. When I let them know nothing had been done and I have had no further calls with the solicitor and showed them the emails where I told them I would not instructed them and no further work should be done they ignored this. I never got the letters from the court but just received a letter saying a judgement of around £1,500 had been made for an initial hour consultancy call. I will obviously get this order set aside this company is a complete scam and in the initial hour they did nothing but ask me for details that I could have completed online or put on a form, such as how many kids I have how old they are and bla bla bla. I hired another law firm that has been amazing. This company is dishonest and provide no value for money they will just try to bill you as much as they can get away with. Stay clear.

As you know, we do not accept your comments. Matters are still progressing through other channels and therefore we are unable to comment further on your observations until the matter has reached a conclusion.

We’re really happy with the service Delicia provided while helping us sell our house and purchase our new property. Delicia and her team were communicative and kept us updated at every step of the process. They were also incredibly efficient and speedy in dealing with everything, which made what can be a stressful process feel much easier. We’re very grateful for all their help and would fully recommend Delicia to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.
