Great Service, Good Vibes

Great to finally find a firm that is not just professional in what they do (as so many legal firms in Scotland are) but one where the lawyers don't feel they have to play the role of traditional stuffy lawyer. I'm sure like us, most clients, now want authentic people who will engage with you, yet are still capable of doing the business for you. David White fits this bill to a T. He makes you feel he is invested in whatever service you are looking for and genuinely engages with you to achieve a successful outcome. We also loved the fact that he listened to some of the non legal anxieties and proactively gave us a great recommendation for an financial adviser.

PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE

Harper Macleod have been my family solicitor since my father died and have been superb to deal with. Their trusts and tax team have been supportive and caring in their dealings with my Mum as she slid into Alzheimer's. Andrea Ross gets a special mention for handling our property conveyancing and has been so helpful, proactive and efficient throughout. Having dealt with property transactions for many years with so many slow solicitors out there - we recommend HM for any such transactions in Scotland - superb service and great team members.

Please avoid this company at all costs - they undertook a capacity assessment on my 89 year old father who they deemed capable to revoke his current POA. My Dad is vulnerable, has vascular dementia and and has an incapacity certificate and resides in a care home - I managed to stop this from being registered as the consequences for my Dad if this had been processed would of been horrendous. When complaining to them the arrogance of their response and their total lack of empathy or willingness to see my point of view and reassess their processes just beggars belief. There is no-one I have spoken to that thinks this situation is ok so I strongly suggest you review your Conduct rules.

Laura McLean has been an absolute rock

Laura McLean has been my solicitor through an extremely long, difficult divorce and she has been an absolute rock throughout. Always totally focussed on my best interests, but also always mindful of costs, both financial and emotional. I could not have hoped for a better solicitor.

Andrea and Georgia were amazing in helping me to buy my house. They were so efficient and updated me regularly in the process. It made what could have been a stressful task so much easier. I couldn't recommend them more and I will definitely be using them in the future!

Unprofessional receptionist. Giggling and making jokes on someone else's matter its not what anyone would expect from Law firm. I found what I was looking for with another solid professional firm. Definitely wont use Harper Macleod LLP in the future and neither I recommend it to anyone.
