Platt & Fishwick Limited

Following a family bereavement, I spent 9 months trying and failing to get help with a will alteration - just an unending cycle of unanswered emails, calls etc. You'll see that most of the bad reviews here concern wills - my lawyer friend says that's because they don't bring in much money, so go to the bottom of the work pile. In which case, they could just say that they don't really want the work rather than stringing people along. It's a very cruel way to treat people who have suffered a loss and are looking to move on.

A very disappointing experience I first used this practice in a previous incarnation in the late 70s and the odd occasion since then however after this experience I won’t be going near them again. Emails are completely ignored and telephone messages for call back also don’t get any response. On a slightly positive side I did receive an apology and a small reduction in fees however this didn’t go close to address the detrimental impact. I did provide written feedback to the practice head but sadly the response I got didn’t address the points and examples made. I again informed Platt & Fishwick of this unfortunately but expectedly this didn’t even get a reply. I shouldnt be surprised at this given my experience. Looking at other reviews I don’t believe I had a unique experience

It is now over 3 years since my relative died and we have still not resolved this. Without my prompting I don't believe much would have been done and they did admit that nothing happened for a while when one solicitor retired. It is so disappointing when you are just looking for closure

Excellent service from start to finish, great advice and help

Professional and efficient with good communication and prompt response Would recommend this practice

Extremely unprofessional. Shared private information to another client. It has been reported to the professional body

Everyone at Platt and Fishwick was really friendly and helpful throughout the whole process of buying and selling our houses. We can't thank them enough.

😊 Tracey managed our conveyance for us and we could not have been happier. Tracey is very responsive and handled our sale professionally and quickly. 👍We have another sale to do next year and will be using Tracey again. She's very organised. Thanks to all at Platt and Fishwick. We have used the firm for many years now for multiple transactions and I always recommend them to anyone I know who is buying or selling.

I cannot recommend my solicitor highly enough. A couple of years ago, he successfully represented me in not just one, but two separate cases against my employer, and the results were outstanding. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, confident, and completely dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated throughout the process, and always made me feel supported during what was a very stressful time. I have never posted a review before now because they are not the type of firm that chases reviews or relies on them professionally as their work and reputation speak for themselves. However, after recently having a poor experience with another solicitors firm in Wigan during my house sale, it really made me reflect on the level of professionalism, communication, and dedication I previously received here. It reminded me that exceptional solicitors genuinely deserve recognition and appreciation for the work they do. If you are looking for a solicitor who is experienced, trustworthy, and willing to fight for you, I would absolutely recommend platt and fishwick without hesitation.

Can’t thank Lesley enough. She was great and so understanding. Highly recommend ❤️
