    Great professional people

    I had appealed against a decision made by my ex employer for dismissal and they offered me a payout in which i agreed to . Then Paul was involved and got me a little more. In which I was grateful off . It took just two weeks from start to finish which was quicker than Acas. I would use them again but hoping not to loose my job again 😆. Thanks Paul for all your help and advice.

    Paul has been immensely helpful in my journey while I needed guidance on employment litigation and settlement agreement, he was honest and to the point and provided clear guidance. I would recommend him to anyone looking for employment litigation or settlement advice.

    Done house sale with Caroline Rooks . Works extremely slow. My buyers has complained too, but was more interested to know who complained and not the issue itself. Lied about correspondence too , cos I asked my buyers and estate agent to see the replys from MBH after talking to her about it. When it comes to the purchase that was even more shocking. My property had some issues with court proceedings that we didn't see it coming and I asked to speak to her about it and her direct replay was I should speak to my morgage broker. My morgage broker undeniably explained that I need to speak to her as only solicitor should talk to me about it . Was made to feel im inconvenience her. Ive decided to move on to a different property and to different solicitor and I can tell you with experience and my current solicitor that I do not recomend MBH solicitor. Its like day and night when it comes to work ethic, communication and speed .

    Our experience with Mccarthy Bennett Holland Solicitors Llp has been deeply disappointing. The handling of our property sale has been riddled with delays, and communication has been appallingly poor. We were repeatedly told that documents had been sent or emails replied to, only to find out this wasn’t true. Reaching our solicitor has been very difficult and on the rare occasion we managed to speak to someone, we were made to feel as though we were inconveniencing them simply by asking for updates. We strongly urge them to improve their communication, transparency and overall approach to client care. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend their services.

    Mccarthy Bennett Holland Solicitors Llp

    Hi Ivy. Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you feel you had a negative experience with the firm. This is not the level of service we wish to provide. If you'd like to discuss this further, please contact the firm by emailing MBH@WIGANSOLICITORS.COM

      Exceptional Service – Highly Recommend - Paul Quinn

      I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. From the very first call, he provided excellent, clear advice that gave me confidence during a stressful time. What stood out most was his availability, he responded to emails quickly and picked up the phone, which made a huge difference when I needed answers fast. Beyond his professionalism, Paul is incredibly personable and approachable. He's a genuine person who listens and makes you feel understood. His expertise, combined with his kind and down to earth personality, made the entire process feel less heavy. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with, Paul Quinn is the one!
