About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Reassuring and understanding service
I was really happy with the service I received. My solicitor was calm, very reassuring and an excellent listener. He took the time to understand my situation fully and guided me through the process clearly and with great care. What I appreciated most was how understanding he was of the emotional side as well as the practical needs. He explained everything simply and clearly, and I felt confident and supported throughout. I am very satisfied with the outcome and would happily recommend his services.

Excellent solicitor for sale & purchase
James Ray was our solicitor for the sale of our house and our onward purchase. He has been exceptional from start to finish! I’d highly recommend Judge & Priestley Sidcup. James has been very helpful in explaining all of the law jargon and keeping us up to date at every step, he’s very good at answering the phone and will always call you back extremely quickly if he’s not available. James would reply to my numerous emails within 24hrs which was very much appreciated! It’s hard to find such a good solicitor who has great communication and doesn’t take weeks to reply! He was excellent at chasing up both our sale and purchase. Even on the odd occasion when James was out of office there were other employees such as Brooke Stevens who would update you and call the onward solicitors to get an update - everyone at the office has been very friendly and easy to deal with! There was an enquiry on our onward purchase that was more complicated than we had hoped but James was great at chasing up information and pushing back on the solicitors to ensure we got the best legal outcome and weren’t just palmed off. Thank you very much, we will definitely be using your firm in the future and really appreciate your patience and excellent communication (hopefully we won’t be moving house anytime soon!)

Sarah Rose was exceptionally helpful during my family court proceedings. She was detailed, patient and very good at explaining things in simple terms. Thankfully, I was able to get a positive outcome for my daughter working with Sarah at J&P, so I'm very grateful. I would happily recommend Sarah and her trusted Barrister, Eva Robinson, for family law proceedings in the future.

Celine at J&P Beckenham was so supportive and professional supporting me through a legal process at a very difficult time for me. I would thoroughly recommend her!
Dear Janina, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. Celine is so pleased to hear how much her support and professionalism meant to you, especially during what we understand was a very difficult time. We’re proud of the care she provides to our clients, and your recommendation really means a great deal to us. Thank you again for choosing Judge and Priestley.

They have an excellent team of professional, efficient and friendly solicitors who can advise on pretty much any legal matter. Sarah in the family law department was amazing at guiding me through a difficult legal process. Her expert advice, sympathy to the situation and excellent communication made the process so much smoother. Would absolutely recommend.
Dear Liz, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your 5* review as well as your detailed feedback. We are thrilled that you have been satisfied with the level of service that you have received.

Sale and Purchase
We used Judge and Priestley for our sale and purchase and were really impressed with the service. Communication was clear throughout, emails were answered quickly and calls returned without delay, we always felt informed about the next steps. They handled several last‑minute issues calmly and kept the chain moving. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancer.

Ray of Sidcup
Making potentially complicated legal matters easy to understand
My wife and I, with no dependants, decided it was high time to make proper provisions as to how we would wish our assets to be used if either or both of us lost our ability to make rational decisions and on our passings, that our funerals could be properly arranged and our bequests go to both our friends and good causes without any hitches. Using a regulated firm of solicitors was our desired choice and following discussions at the offices of our local firm that had acted for us in property transaction previously we decided on Judge & Priestley. Russell Ali there was able to guide us through the processes needed and prepare our Wills and Powers of Attorney documents for us at a fair, fixed price. We are both more than happy with Russell's professionalism. An "excellent" rating is more than justified.

A representative from Judge And Priestley LLP responded to this review
Dear Ray, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Russell was able to make the process clear and straightforward for you, and to support you both in putting these important arrangements in place. It’s great to know you felt confident in your decision and that you were happy with the fixed-fee service provided. Your recommendation and kind words about Russell’s professionalism are truly appreciated.

Zara Packard very unprofessional individual. I requested the outcome of my case but constantly asking for reference number first then asking why you need to know the outcome. Only rang me once for the case and didn't get to talk to me. No email no nothing. A waste of time this solicitor is. Deserves No stars at all.

I cannot recommend David and the Private Client team highly enough. Following the death of my father, David assisted me with obtaining probate and the administration of the estate. If you are looking for an experienced wills and probate specialist, I would wholeheartedly recommend him. From our first meeting, David was compassionate, approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every stage of the probate and estate administration process in clear and straightforward terms, which was invaluable during such a difficult time. What particularly impressed me was David's ability to deal with a number of unforeseen and complex issues that arose during the administration of the estate. His expertise in probate, inheritance tax matters and estate administration, together with his attention to detail and calm approach, gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and efficiently. Throughout the matter, David and his Private Client team kept me fully informed, responded promptly to queries and provided outstanding client care. I also found his fee estimate to be fair, transparent and competitive when compared with other local solicitors I approached. Losing a parent is never easy, but David made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable for me and my family. His professionalism, guidance and support throughout the probate process were exceptional. If you need advice on probate, estate administration, wills or inheritance tax matters, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David and his team. Thank you, David, for your professionalism, expertise and support at every stage.

Our experience with Judge & Priestly was exceptional. We trusted them with our first home purchase which turned into an extremely long process (8 months). Every step of the way, we were provided with clear and helpful guidance and I trusted completely that Judge & Priestly were going above and beyond to ensure we were fully protected. There were multiple solicitors involved in the sale and it was abundantly clear that Judge & Priestly were the most competent and professional. Would recommend to anyone.
