Fantastic help and support

"I cannot thank Lindsey enough for her professionalism, empathy, and support throughout what was an extremely difficult time for me. Lindsey demonstrated not only a deep understanding of a family law but also a genuine compassion that made the entire process feel much more manageable."

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend Fergus and His Team After being involved in a bike accident, my case was handled by Carpenters Solicitors for nearly four years, and unfortunately, they were absolutely awful. At no point during that time did I feel confident that my case would ever be resolved, and I didn’t receive a penny from them. In 2025, I attended the Motorbike Show and happened to come across Fergus at his stand. I explained my situation and who had been dealing with my case. Straight away, he reassured me there wouldn’t be a problem taking it on and getting me the compensation I deserved. If I’m honest, I was sceptical at first after my previous experience. However, true to his word, Fergus got in touch the very next Monday after the show. I provided all the details he needed, and he took it from there. What followed was nothing short of incredible. Within just five months, my case was fully settled and the money was in my bank — yes, five months! Fergus was absolutely fantastic throughout. He kept me informed at every stage, gave clear advice on what I needed to do, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Him and his team were professional, supportive, and genuinely cared about getting the right outcome. After nearly four years of getting nowhere, Fergus and his team delivered results in just a fraction of the time — truly outstanding. If I ever found myself in a situation like this again, Fergus would be the very first person I’d contact. I can’t recommend him and his team highly enough.

Initial challenging start, resolved in completion

I had a somewhat challenging and confusing experience with McHale & Co Solicitors. I was initially introduced to them via my broker, Tembo. After my case was assigned to an agent, there was no initial contact or introduction from them, so I had to reach out directly to initiate communication. Unfortunately, this set the tone for a lack of clarity and ownership at the outset. There was a considerable amount of unnecessary back-and-forth throughout the process, and I experienced delays which were very frustrating. At one stage, my case handler was not particularly helpful and came across as rude when I was trying to resolve these issues. My case was also transferred between two different handlers without my knowledge, which further impacted continuity. I only became aware of this after calling and being informed that my original agent was no longer handling my case, without any prior communication or context. However, once my file was assigned to Taylor So, the experience improved. Taylor was efficient, clear in communication, and handled the process professionally and supported me through to exchange and completion. Overall, while the latter part of my experience was positive, the earlier stages lacked consistency, and client care.

A representative from McHale & Co Solicitors responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not get off to the best start, particularly in relation to communication, delays, and the change in handling of your matter. We understand how important clear and consistent updates are, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re pleased to hear that your experience improved once your matter progressed, and that Taylor was able to support you through to exchange and completion. Your feedback is very important to us, and we are always looking at ways to improve both our communication and continuity of service. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to contact us directly.

Have received excellent service and customer care from Alastair at these solicitors. He continued pursuing the case long after I had given up hope, and was extremely professional in the way this was handled up until the successful conclusion of the case. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to others. Thank you for your help.

Could not be happier with Marta from McHale and Co. We had some problematic solicitors before this and the switch to her was a breath of fresh air. Dedicated, focused, knowledgeable combined with constant communication made it worth every penny. I would easily recommend Marta to any friends and family who are looking for a solicitor. We got to spend a warm Christmas in our new home and it isn't an understatement to say it wouldn't have been possible without her.

(Translated by Google) I would like to recommend Mrs. M. Grzelak as the lawyer who handled my house purchase case. Her professionalism, commitment and in-depth legal knowledge made the entire process run smoothly and smoothly. From the very beginning, she showed great patience, carefully explaining every step of the transaction and answering all my questions. Her ability to identify potential problems and effectively negotiate with the other party was invaluable. Thanks to her support, I felt confident and safe, knowing that my interests were in good hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Ms. M. Grzelak to anyone who needs a reliable and competent real estate lawyer. (Original) Chciałbym serdecznie polecić Panią M.Grzelak jako prawnika, która prowadziła moją sprawę kupna domu. Jej profesjonalizm, zaangażowanie i dogłębna wiedza prawnicza sprawiły, że cały proces przebiegł sprawnie i bezproblemowo. Od samego początku wykazała się ogromną cierpliwością, dokładnie tłumacząc każdy etap transakcji i odpowiadając na wszystkie moje pytania. Jej umiejętność identyfikowania potencjalnych problemów oraz skuteczne negocjacje z drugą stroną były nieocenione. Dzięki jej wsparciu czułem się pewnie i bezpiecznie, wiedząc, że moje interesy są w dobrych rękach. Bez wahania polecam Pania M.Grzelak każdemu, kto potrzebuje rzetelnego i kompetentnego prawnika do spraw związanych z nieruchomościami.

(Translated by Google) I have nothing against the company itself. However, Mrs. Katarzyna and Mrs. Iwona are a misunderstanding. Out of courtesy, I will not mention their names. They were unable to deliver the documents to the Court on time. They couldn't humanly admit they made a mistake, that they messed something up, or say I'm sorry I didn't take care of it. What's more, they blamed me for the mistake. The costs are astronomical in relation to the work performed which was not delivered to the Court at all. And also threatening to sue the court for delaying payment for worthless work that was not delivered to the court on time. I do not recommend these two ladies with all my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was enough to simply say sorry. To wipe away my tears, they reduced my costs by £240, which confirmed that they had messed something up. But the rest of the money is money down the drain. (Original) Do samej firmy nic nie mam. Natomiast Pani Katarzyna I Pani Iwona to jakieś nieporozumienie. Nazwisk przez grzeczność nie wymienię. Nie potrafiły dostarczyć dokumentò do Sądu na czas. Nie potrafiły przyznać się po ludzku do błędu że coŝ zawaliły , powiedzieć przepraszam nie dopilnowałam. Mało tego obwiniały mnie za zaistniałą pomyłkę. Koszty z kosmosu w stosunku do wykonanej pracy która nie była wogóle dostarczona do Sądu. I jeszcze straszenie pozwem do Sądu za opóźnienie płatności za bezwartościową pracẹ która nie została dostarczona na czas do Sądu. Tych dwóch Pań nie polecam z całego serca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A wystarczyło powiedzieć proste przepraszam. Na otarcie łez obniżyły mi koszty o £240 czym potwierdziły że coś jednak zawaliły. Ale pozostałe pieniążki to pieniądze wyrzucone w błoto.

I recently received truly service by Alastair Chiswell in what could have been a stressful and worrying situation, made bearable thanks to his professionalism and attentiveness. Alastair made the whole process as easy as possible and supported me through every step on the way. Highly recommend both Alastair and McHale & Co for their services

Life changing motorbike accident

After using a differant law practice for just under 2 yrs starting in july of 2021 and being told false information and none truths !! I found fergus and what a differance withing 7 months fergus secured me a £5000 interim payment that i needed to pay for my mothers funeral fergus has since kept me up to date each week and even at my times of desperation taken my calls and spoke to me . Making everything clear and finally after a 5 year battle fergus and his appointed barrister have got my case to court for a two day trial and have won my case . I would just like to thank fergus and his loyal hard working team for securing my future and doing the impossible and also standing by my side thoughout what was a trumatic trial . Fergus is a man of focus and ambition and stops at nothing to prove his case along with his team .. i will always recommend fergus open heartenly to anyone who has had a motorbike accident as ive never met anyone who works as hard for his clients .. keep up the good work fergus i honestly cannot thank you enough

Jess Chappell is highly professional in the provision of advice at the outset of the case regarding handling the remaining section of the application and advice on probate. This continued throughout proceedings. The advice provided was clear and enabled me to feel confident in the route I undertook. I was delighted with the service and the friendliness of the approach. I was kept fully informed and had every confidence in requesting advice. I would recommend Jess for all the above and for its value for money and for the approachable and refreshing response.
