ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check
How the Suitability Check works
The ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check is designed to help you understand whether a law firm may be suitable
for your legal matter and to support you in deciding what to do next.
It brings together information from publicly available sources, regulatory data, and verified client reviews
and ratings to make it easier to compare law firms and connect with a solicitor who may be suited to your needs.
ReviewSolicitors works with thousands of law firms across the UK, many of whom actively collect client reviews
through our platform. We aim to make it as simple and seamless as possible for you to find, compare, and connect
with a law firm that may be able to help with your matter.
However, the information shown here is based on data that is updated periodically. Solicitors can move between
law firms, law firms may change the areas of law they offer, and capacity to take on new client matters can vary
over time.
Checks on whether a law firm is accepting new clients are carried out on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending
on the information available to us. While this helps keep information up to date, we cannot guarantee that all
details will always be accurate at the time you view them.
In some cases, a law firm may appear as “Not accepting new clients through ReviewSolicitors” because they are not
actively engaged with us or have not confirmed their availability. They may still be accepting new clients
directly, and if you are unsure, it is always best to contact the law firm directly to confirm their expertise,
availability, and whether they have the capacity to handle your matter.
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.

Employment
Efficient and straightforward
I recently instructed Marsden Rawsthorn and to advise me on a complex employment matter. From the outset, the advice was clear, practical and focused on achieving the right outcome. What stood out was the ability to cut through complexity quickly, keep things moving, and provide straightforward guidance without unnecessary jargon or delay. A difficult process was made considerably easier as a result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will certainly return if I need legal support in the future.

Having had an exceptional experience with Marsden Rawsthorn’s residential conveyancing team, I had high expectations for their commercial conveyancing services. Unfortunately, my experience with the commercial team has been markedly different.
While I consider myself realistic and understanding of the complexities involved in managing numerous clients and legal processes, the main issue has been their communication. At several critical moments during the conveyancing process, I encountered significant difficulties in reaching the team. Despite leaving daily voicemails and sending numerous emails, I received no response for extended periods—sometimes for over a week. Even when I attempted to contact the wider team, I was forced to leave voicemails requesting an urgent callback, but still received no response.
This lack of communication has caused unnecessary delays and frustration.
I will provide a more detailed update on this review as the situation progresses, but I wanted to share my concerns and experience so far. It’s disappointing given the high standard I previously associated with Marsden Rawsthorn.
A representative from Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Limited responded to this review
Dear Ben, Thanks for your feedback. We have investigated your matter and can see that the Head of Department has promptly addressed the small issue of mis-communication and we hope you feel confident that we are working with you to achieve the sale of the property as quickly as the other parties will allow, and you now have the contact details of the Head of Department for any future queries you have.

In my job I deal will a lot of solicitors, some are great and some are bad but my goodness these are up there with the worst. I’m currently trying to help my parents commercial units go through and therefore need commercial leases being completed.
I’m a big believer in customer service and I am so surprised at how bad this company has been. My parents have already paid £5000 upfront and wows that’s where they made their first mistake.
In the last 2 weeks I have called 10 times with no return call or response. The email replies I receive from Jenny Barnes are just rude and in-fact it’s like she doesn’t even read them.
She is now the reason our sale is stalling as she refuses to send a copy of the tenants signed lease to us - for our buyers mortgage offer we need this to carry on the sale.
My next port of call is to contact the legal ombudsman and make a complaint.
A representative from Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Limited responded to this review
Dear Mr Greene
We are sorry that you feel unhappy with the level of service that your Mum is receiving from us as we take pride in our service to our clients, you have both been made aware that we have been chasing for outstanding documents from yourselves and the other parties for over 2 months which is presently holding up completion of these transactions and your onward sale. We have chased all parties and hopefully we can conclude these matters once we have received them.
Regarding the funds these covered 6 transactions and were paid at the completion of the work and not up front, as we do not obtain funds up from on our transactional matters.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the staff at Marsden Rawsthorn and share my thoughts on the service I received from this firm. I used Marsden Rawsthorn for purchasing properties over the past many years. However, last year, I separated from my partner and found myself fighting for my home, which I owned before I met her, my hard money and, believe it or not,- my dog. In my eyes, she was an emotional, mental and financial abuser, and what was the worst, she and I were forced by circumstances to live under one roof for two years after breaking up. I tried to sort it out myself amicably but was getting nowhere as she was interested in continuing with the abuse, not in resolution. And so I contacted Marsden Rawsthorn for help. I was immediately contacted by Karl, a dispute resolution lawyer, who became my brick wall and support until everything was sorted. As meaningful conversation was out of the question between me and my ex, I asked Karl to handle EVERYTHING on my behalf. First, Karl helped me to secure the ownership of my dog, which she wanted to take away despite not being able to provide adequate care for him. Karl advised on every possibility depending on what she decides to cook up next and what is my legal standing. He then constructed a legal agreement with very clever wording which helped me to secure ownership of the dog and stop all possible future attempts to take him away from me.
Next, I needed to secure the ownership of my Lytham St. Annes-based home. This was much trickier as she wanted us to sell the house, and I wanted to keep it as it was my family home. As revenge, she was dragging her heels at every step. She was directing her solicitor once or twice a month, resulting in Karl and even her own solicitor needing to chase her. I secured a new remortgage offer, and she did everything she could to make me lose that offer by missing the deadline. What should've taken three months stretched over nearly a year. I was losing my will to live on a couple of occasions due to constant mind games and abuse from her at home. But Karl was always there for me, advising, cheering and always reliable. He was keeping me in the loop all the time and, sometimes, working till the last minute in the evening. The communication was brilliant. He pushed, nagged, prodded and bulldozed his way through. He is cunning and steely towards his opponents but caring, kind and approachable towards his clients.
Karl's colleague Paul of the conveyancing department was also fantastic. Karl and Paul made it their mission to complete the transfer of equity and get her out of the house before Christmas to give me and my children a peaceful Christmas. I have no idea how they managed to pull this off, but we completed it five days before the office's closure for the holidays. Paul, just like Karl, is very caring, officiant and very involved and kept me updated. I did not need to chase anyone. Everything was done for me. I just sat back and watched the battle going on. We were a step away from going to court on numerous occasions, but the professionalism, efficiency and diplomacy of these lawyers helped to avoid it and saved me a lot of money. Yes, Marsden Rawsthorn is not a cheap firm. But you get exactly what you pay for because everything is done for you at the best possible quality. A five-star reliable service and kind and involved approach. They really do care. I consider myself lucky to have them on my side and definitely will be recommending and will continue to use them again for anything legal. Every penny I spent on their services now definitely feels like an investment in a better and brighter future. Thank you so much, Karl and Paul.

Fantastic service, Quick understanding and very professional. I was quickly called back and handed over to Paul who took my case very seriously and has spent a lot of time working hard to resolve it. I do not have a bad word to say about this company as I am happy with their contact and efforts from Paul. Would recommend to anyone who needs a legal matter looking into and resolving.

How We Present Law Firm Ratings
We show you how this law firm is rated for the specific legal service

interested in, as well as how the firm is rated overall. This helps you
understand both their specialist strengths and their broader reputation.
Law firms often assist clients with a wide range of legal matters-for
example,
one person may need help with a divorce, while another may be starting a
business. Because legal services are typically delivered by individual
solicitors within the firm, it's important to know how those particular
individuals are likely to perform in the area of law that matters to
you.
At the same time, an overall view of the law firm's performance can also
be
helpful. That's why we aim to give you both the specific insight and the
full
