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.

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.

A representative from Thorntons Law Llp responded to this review

Thank you Joyce, we're delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our team. If there's ever anything we can assist you with in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I had the displeasure of dealing with Karen Stevenson today. She continually interrupted me and spoke over the top of me. When I asked her companies complaint procedure she became more abrasive and said she had no idea what it was. Poor service from a reputable firm.

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 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 clientrelations@thorntons-law.co.uk so that we can review what happened and respond appropriately.

Exceptional service and advice from Graham Taylor and the team at Thorntons Law. Graham acted for me for the purchase of a new property in Montrose, everything was dealt with efficiently and with due care from start to finish. Thornton's should be your 'go-to' place for legal work in Scotland. Thank you Graham and your team.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Rob, we’re grateful for your kind words. It’s great to know that Graham and the team provided a smooth and well managed service throughout your property purchase. We appreciate your recommendation and wish you all the best in your new home.
