Excellent and quick service from first contact. Fixed fee payment makes budgetting simple. I was taken through the options for my POA and the implications of each before a draft document was made available.

Thank you for your feedback, Kenneth. It’s particularly pleasing to know that the options and implications were clearly explained before preparing the draft, and that the fixed fee provided certainty when budgeting. We truly appreciate your kind words.

Been working with Alan to figure out what was needed vs what was available in Scottish law to sort out an inheritance and property issue in the UAE. Everything has been perfect, communication, efficiency and going beyond to help. Definitely recommend Macnabs.

Thanks Steve, an interesting one, glad we managed to help you with this!

We have been clients of Macnabs for many years, whether it be buying/selling homes, preparing Wills etc..... all members of staff have always been very professional and efficient in their work.... I would recommend Alan Roughead who has been working for us recently, he has taken time to give us the best advice.....they're fees are respectfully competitive.

Avoid at all cost

They don't even look at any evidence or contact police about investigation. They protect paedophiles and child abusers.

Very disappointed. Initially the contact was positive. A call back from a solicitor on the friday which resulted in the promise of an email being sent on Monday and a call back. No email sent and no call back. Its embarrassing as I prepped the other party to expect the email. Still no call back or response to an email asking for an update. There is no reasonable excuse for this.

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear you’ve been unhappy with your experience with us. We’d really like the opportunity to understand what has happened and look into your concerns properly. We’re not able to discuss individual matters publicly, but if you’re happy to contact us directly at enquiries@thorntons-law.co.uk with your details, we can make sure this is passed to the right team to review.

Thorntons handled the sale of my old property and the purchase of my new home. With both transactions I found them to be thorough, honest and supportive. Everything was explained in detail and there was no pressure placed on me to buy or sell. Instead knowledgeable assistance was given regarding my decisions. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Big thanks to the whole team in Cupar. J.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your kind recommendation, J. We are delighted to hear that the team provided thorough and supportive guidance throughout both transactions. It is particularly pleasing to know that you felt well informed and confident in your decisions.

Looking for a lawyer that cares? Continue looking elsewhere. We had booked an appointment for £500 before we’d even had an initial meeting. In this initial meeting, our “solicitor” didn’t read our email in regards to a Global Talent Visa, didn’t understand my partner’s profession, and didn’t outline any of the other criteria that we qualified for through the partner visa, and left us “High and dry” This is all now resolved through a new solicitor at a different practise, who described our claim as a “clear open and shut application” and provided us with templates for our application.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We take feedback like this seriously and are concerned to hear that you did not feel the advice and service you received met your expectations. We are unable to comment on the details of individual matters publicly, but we would welcome the opportunity to look into your concerns further. Please contact us directly at enquiries@thorntons-law.co.uk so that we can review what happened and respond appropriately.
