I have used Simpson Milker twice now, both for property sale and purchase and i have been very impressed by their service. I see a lot of negativity on here, but honestly i will use them again should the need arise.
Shambolic and chaotic. They do not communicate and we would have lost our sale without the wonderful Carolyn Lowe in the Lancaster office who is their receptionist. They should be ashamed and embarrassed about the disorganised way they handled the decision to stop conveyancing, and their continuing appalling service.
Simpson Millar are the worst law firm in the UK. They have let hundreds if not thousands of clients down who were using their conveyancing department — please look at Trustpilot. Do not use this company — they are in breach of SRA code of conduct and do not have your best interests at heart.
We're really sorry you feel disappointed with our service. Could you please email reviews@simpsonmillar.co.uk with your full name and matter reference so that we can try and get this sorted for you. Best wishes, Laura
This law firm failed to carry out work we instructed them to do on our behalf and of which they accepted payment - due to an incredibly short sighted decision by Greg the CEO to protect its clients from financial ruin myself and my partner now find ourselves on the verge of homelessness and we are now being completely blanked by the company! AVOID USING this company at all costs when there are far more competent alternatives around.
I'm really sorry that you've felt so let down by our service. Could you please email reviews@simpsonmillar.co.uk with your full name and case reference and we can try and get this sorted for you. Best wishes, Laura
Trying to sell & buy a house through Simpson Millar, has been a nightmare. We have never been able to talk to our conveyancer - 3 weeks we have been waiting for a call back, and still nothing, after chasing daily. We have raised two complaints, both ignored. We are due to move in 2 weeks time, and still waiting to exchange. After a little research on the internet, it appears Simpson Millar are no longer doing Conveyancing, as of the 2nd Aug’22 - they have not informed us. We are now left with no idea if we will exchange contracts & move, or if we need to find a new conveyancer to finish the job, Simpson Millar aren’t going to - this will put us back weeks and cost us financially, as we try to move back dates of the move with our movers, and other services, let alone the impact to our buyer and vendor - disgusted by our treatment and the poor service. We have been promised today a call back within 4hrs from a partner, but yet again no call back. An awful experience and one that appears to be experienced by not only us.
Can’t recommend these solicitors enough. I was given fantastic advice with a positive outcome. Was kept up to date all the way through my claim, Joli was fantastic.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that Joli provided fantastic advice and support throughout your claim and helped you achieve a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re grateful you chose Simpson Millar to assist you. If you ever need legal support again in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Wishing you all the best, The Simpson Millar Team
What I can tell you is Alan Jolliffe is the solicitor I had dealing with my case, I would honestly recommend him to anyone. Speaking to him was more like taking to a friend. Please don’t misinterpret my words though, there has always bin a high level and respect and professionalism on his part. I wouldn’t advise anyone to get injured, but if you do I would definitely advise you who to get hold of.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that Alan made the experience feel approachable and supportive, whilst maintaining the professionalism you expected. Feeling listened to and respected can make a big difference during a difficult time, and we're glad Alan could offer that throughout your case. If you ever need legal support again in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Wishing you all the best, The Simpson Millar Team

Instructed Simpson Millar for the purchase of my new home. Mohammed Iqbal and Lucy Bell were very thorough and helpful! I would like to thank them for their advice and assistance with my conveyancing matter.
Hi Amna, We're really glad we could help you with your house purchase and that Mohammed and Lucy were able to help. Best wishes Chris
Cannot fault the service and professionalism given to us from start to finish of our transaction. Claire and Rhianne are a credit to the firm and were prompt in dealing with all actions and communication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use them again in the future.
That is really good to hear Naeem. We are really glad we could help. Best wishes Chris

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 .
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.

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.
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.

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!
We’re so pleased to hear you had such a positive experience and that Lucy and Charlotte’s support made a real difference throughout your claim. It’s great to know you felt well looked after and kept informed, and that the outcome felt fair and worthwhile. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the team. If we can ever assist you again in the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Wishing you all the best, The Simpson Millar Team
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.
I have used Simpson Milker twice now, both for property sale and purchase and i have been very impressed by their service. I see a lot of negativity on here, but honestly i will use them again should the need arise.
Worked hard to secure a good outcome.

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!
