Poor communication and no follow-through

I had a genuinely disappointing experience with Simpson Millar. After providing detailed information about my case and engaging with their enquiries team, my case was abruptly closed without any proper explanation or assessment. I then received a generic email stating they “didn’t want to disturb me” and had therefore decided to close my enquiry. This made no sense — I had not asked them to stop contacting me, nor had I disengaged. In fact, I was actively waiting for an update. I responded immediately to challenge this and asked for clarification, but no meaningful explanation was provided. There was no attempt to review the case, no feedback, and no transparency about why it was dropped. This raises serious concerns about their internal process: -Cases appear to be closed arbitrarily without client consent -There is no clear communication or accountability -Enquiries are not properly assessed despite clients taking time to submit details For a firm that promotes professionalism and client care, this experience was the opposite. It felt like my case was simply discarded without consideration. If this is how initial enquiries are handled, it does not give confidence in how they would manage a live case where communication and diligence are critical. Very disappointing.

One star is to much

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Simpson Millar Solicitors. After four years, my case was ultimately dismissed due to a lack of evidence and poor-quality specialist reports. This outcome was incredibly frustrating given the amount of time invested. Throughout the entire four-year period, I was constantly chasing for updates and progress. Communication was very poor, and there was no sense of continuity — I had approximately 12–13 different case handlers, which made the process chaotic and disorganised. The handling of my case caused me a great deal of unnecessary stress and anxiety. I never felt properly supported or informed, and the service fell well below what I would expect from a professional legal firm. Due to the unacceptable level of service, I am now referring Simpson Millar to the Legal Ombudsman. I would not recommend this firm to anyone seeking reliable, competent legal representation.

A representative from Simpson Millar LLP responded to this review

Thank you for sharing your review. We are very sorry to hear how disappointed you feel about your experience and we recognise how upsetting it is when a case does not conclude in the way a client hopes, particularly after such a long period of time. We understand the frustration caused by the outcome of your case and the impact this has had on you. All advice provided was given carefully, based on the evidence available at the time and with your best interests in mind. Unfortunately, there are occasions where, despite extensive work being undertaken, the available evidence and expert opinion mean that a claim cannot be successfully progressed.

Employment

Never assessed our claim

Avoid this solicitors. Unfairly dismissed and won our tribunal. Simpson Millar advice was to accept £20,000 based on no calculations of loss , messed up my ET1 form to the tribunal, missed out disability discrimination. We were offered £50,000 before the tribunal. We proved our overtime losses for 18 months was worth £20,000 . Simpson Millar could have and have cost us thousands of pounds.Won unfair dismissal with a different solicitor. Only writing the review to allow others to make a informed decision. Solicitor could not give us the calculation they based there very low figure on , just wanted to settle as quickly as possible.

Unfair dismissal

Mr Stephen Pinder represented me when I was let down by my union/solicitor...I had nowhere to turn after being unfairly dismissed from one of the largest companies in the country but mr Pinder took a look at my case and said that he would relish the challenge! He was very honest from the outset and gave me all of the pros and cons, he was very very thorough and meticulous in his approach...we went to court and I fell to bits a little but mr Pinder was excellent throughout...so professional! We won our case and I cleared my name which had been tarnished! I would recommend this man before anyone if you have any type of employment issues...thankyou again mr pinder

Would highly recommend. Being 1 of 1000’s of employees who faced redundancy during covid I wasn’t expecting much in terms of compensation that wasn’t already deemed by the government. However I was pleasantly surprised with what I received this week. Great communication, stress-free process and professional through out.

Hello, I had a case in which Simpson Millar won for me. No win No fee. I had a great experience, I was passed on to Adam Copeland who finalised my case. He cleared things up brilliant for me and helped me decide to take an early great offer given the circumstances. Would recommend.

The revolving door of case handlers

I have been using SM for a medical negligence case , it’s been a revolving door of people handling my case , i have really lost count now who is managing it. They have been so slow to move to case along , even when they agreed with experts that the case was sound months and months went by without really doing anything , so much so we almost ran out of time .

A representative from Simpson Millar LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear how frustrating your experience has felt, particularly around continuity and the changes in who has been handling your case. We understand how unsettling that can be, especially in a complex medical negligence matter. Whilst your case remains ongoing, we appreciate that delays and changes in contact can cause understandable concern. Please be assured that the matter continues to be actively progressed, and decisions are being taken carefully and with your best interests in mind. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, or if there’s anything specific you’d like us to review, please contact us at reviews@simpsonmillar.co.uk so we can look into this in more detail. Wishing you all the best, The Simpson Millar Team

Great job !

had a great experience with Simpson Miller Solicitors and couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. A huge thank you to Lucy and Charlotte for all their hard work — they were professional, friendly, and really on the ball from start to finish. They got everything sorted out quickly, kept me in the loop throughout, and I was very happy with the outcome. It felt like real justice was done, and I ended up with a decent amount for the accident too. I’m really grateful for everything they did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing legal help. Thank you again!

I had an outstanding experience with Simpson Millar. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and I was kept thoroughly updated throughout the entire process. The guidance I received regarding my claim was top-tier, ultimately leading to the best possible outcome. A special thank you to Georgina, who managed my case faultlessly from start to finish. The service was so brilliant that I would have gladly given a 5-star review regardless of the final outcome. Highly recommended!
