Thank you David Rumm from Aletta Shaw who assisted me. He was professional, had empathy and resolved the matter concerned. I would highly recommend as he made the process less stressful. Thank you David.

Bad experience
This review is for a different branch.
I bought my house using Aletta Shaw a couple of years ago. They were clumsy during the process. Completed in January, settled up their bill - Ok, Fine.
Then in February, they contacted me to let me know they had forgotten to charge me for something. less than £300. Not ideal. Paid it. Ok, Fine.
Then in DECEMBER, they contacted me to let me know they had missed something else. £1400! This time i was more hard up due to a personal situation. They threatened a formal debt recovery avenue and i paid up. Not Fine.
An unpleasant experience.
Sloppy. Avoid.

Very pleased - thank you

We recently worked with Katie McCaughin from Aletta Shaw solicitors for our first home purchase, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The process felt smooth and straightforward which was pleasantly surprising given the horror stories you sometimes hear - particularly for first time buyers!
Katie was happy to answer our questions and responded quickly to emails. The whole process took just under 5 months with a chain. We feel it was good value for money.
We are genuinely grateful for Katie’s support and highly recommend her and Aletta Shaw solicitors.

Outstanding service.

I am delighted with the service I received from Lee and the team of solicitors at Aletta Shaw Blackheath. Lee was professional, listened to me, and followed up when he said he would. To be honest I signed up with Aletta Shaw because of the excellent service that was promised. Amazingly once I was signed up as a client, he continued to deliver – Lee is a first class solicitor, he showed empathy to my specific needs, offered a vast array of options to move forward with, above all, his knowledge of the law is outstanding. Really above and beyond. I have dealt with several solicitors over the years. Lee really goes the extra mile and his level of service is, in my experience, unprecedented.

Appointed this firm to handle my divorce and pension sharing arrangement. I am onto my 3rd solicitor with this firm. Their work is riddled with inaccuracies, which are often to my detriment. In one instance, I waited over a month for a reply to my email.

From beginning to end the service provided by Soniya,Sue and the rest of the team was exemplary. I was kept informed of every step of the process and if there was anything I needed to do to make the process easier. I have used Aletta Shaw Solicitors previously and will continue to do so for all my legal requirements.

Excellent Speedy Service
This review is for a different branch.
I was recommended to Aletta Shaw by a family member who had used them previously and I received excellent service. I needed a very quick turn around for an employment issue and only had a few days to finalise. The team were very professional, gave good advice and completed in the required time. I would use again and recommend.

Truly Shocking Customer Service.
This review is for a different branch.
I had the misfortune to speak to Aleta Shaw. Never have I ever come across a company that was so unhelpful. Not interested from the start and made every excuse why I could not have an appointment. The senior lawyer for litigation was unable to articulate why she could not help. Total embarrassment. Phone calls and emails not returned. Avoid this company at all cost.
