I can honestly say ive never left a bad review before, but this company are by far the worst company i've ever had the misfortune of dealing with, Everything they did was slow and lee there took forever to do anything, they held my divorce up by a few months and even the other solicitors dealing with my ex wife's affairs couldn't believe how bad they was ! i would avoid this company at all costs

I’ve never had a solicitor here so proactive. Brooke didn’t need any chasing or harassing and she dealt with our difficult buyers with us. Really helpful throughout and easy! As it should be :)

Avoid using, especially if you end up with Emilia Aletta. This solicitor does not read anything before any money is given and even then reads documents during the £150 consultation you have paid for consultation. She does not respond to emails. When you call, she will tell you she hasn't received your emails and to resend it, which miraculously is delivered at the second time of sending. She has used this old trick three times. She made us sign the terms of reference twice without doing anything with it. Does not return your calls, and as soon as you challenge this with darling mama who is head of the firm, you end up being offered a refund because she can't be bothered to deal with your case or be grown up enough to tell you. She'll waste your time making you wait months for something that should only take a few short weeks.

We began the house buying process in October last year after finding a buyer for our property. Immediately looking for an LGBTQIA+ friendly solicitor, we came across Aletta Shaw Solicitors. A good start. From first contact, through to instruction, the team were friendly, informative, responsive and professional. Once we had instructed, we were assigned Brooke Mahoney. It's at this point the magic really began.

Our sale and purchase were long, and arduous, but none of this was due to the excellent service we received from Brooke and her team. In fact it's due to Brooke and co that this sale even completed. You see our chain was a long one, and the bottom of the chain was difficult.

Brooke went above and beyond during the chase for exchange, giving us continual updates, providing us with details and contacts that we could use to legally expedite the service, and combined with our excellent agent, she was responsible for holding the chain together, chasing and putting pressure on the solicitors below us to get themselves in order and eventually getting us to exchange at the last possible moment.

The sale of our first home and the purchase of our new home wouldn't have happened without the excellent service we received, and I am ever grateful for Brooke Mahoney's perfect example of professionalism, and she will forever set the standard for our interactions with conveyancers in the future.

Thank you!

Alleta Shaw incompetent Solicitors at its best.

This is possibly due to the company being run by a Managing Director that lacks attentiveness, intelligence, morals and ethics.

They are not able to even type up an invoice properly. That may seem like nothing….right?

It gets better..

Not recognising miss clauses within a contract, their own client had to points them out to them.

Not recognising or understanding the use of English used by third party to establish property is not signed off and will not be signed off anytime soon.

Not double checking details or information from client being forwarded on to them for the best interest of client and their own reputation.

(The above is just a few great factual examples of the service that they provided)

The big question is why ever Aletta Shaw?

Choose those that actually care.

Undoubtedly one of the finest solicitors in London who will never leave you until the task is done.
I have used them several times and every time I have I have had complete satisfaction.
Two cases of employment regulation both ending in my favour and once involving Court of Protection for my mother again to hers and our satisfaction.
We are always well and fairly treated and I do know of others who will strongly agree after my recommendation.
I would consider them as our family solicitor and will not hesitate to use them again.
Always guiding in the right direction with all respect and politeness.
Highly recommended and thank you again Samir Moftah and Denis Golding.
