Impeccable service

I would highly recommend John Webster. John was not only a gentleman, he explained the legal terms in a way that was very easy to understand. I'm very grateful that my son had John to help him through the legal process. Thank you, John.

Janet Turner and her team have been the best solicitors we have ever worked with and I’ve had the real range over the last few years with lots of family moves that I’ve headed. If I could choose one solicitor to handle every legal need we had: it would been Janet. Thank you.

Fieldings Porter

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Matthew. We're thrilled to hear that Janet and her team have consistently provided excellent service. We truly appreciate your trust and are honoured to be your go-to solicitors!

I have had a very negative experience with these Solicitors. They dealt with my fathers Estate in 2007. We thought everything had been sorted On ringing the Land Registry a few weeks ago I was astonished to find they have no record of my dad dying. I got back in touch with Fieldings Porter only to be fobbed off. A truly dreadful service. Avoid like the plague

We paid up front for some advice about conveyancing and the advice was "yes we can sort this out for you no problem" so we paid another amount of money to see the specialist who told us "no we can't sort this". We only got part of the money for the second payment back. I would only use a solicitor who offers a free first consultation.

A representative from Fieldings Porter responded to this review

Mr Allen, I am sorry to read your dissatisfaction that in 2018 under our fixed fee scheme in which you received advice and then further advice from another qualified lawyer that you decided not to proceed. Given that you chose not to proceed we correctly refunded money you had paid on account.

Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Sajeda Ali while supporting a mutual client through court proceedings. Sajeda kept everyone well informed, communicated clearly, and always ensured our client understood each stage of the process, helping to reduce what was naturally a very stressful experience. As a professional working with vulnerable clients, I really appreciated Sajida's collaborative approach and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. It was clear that our client's wellbeing remained at the centre of everything she did. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly professional solicitor. Maria DAV Officer at the Endeavour Project.
