What clients say about Stephensons Solicitors LLP

The firm specialises in public law/mental capacity and placement challenge work, achieving positive outcomes that enable clients to move to less restrictive settings. Clients praise technical legal expertise, clear explanations of strategy and procedural knowledge. Valued soft skills include professionalism, strong customer care, responsiveness and personal support during difficult times. However some feedback cites poor service: excessive billing-focus calls, lack of follow-through and very poor customer service experiences. Overall reviews are mostly positive about outcomes and communication, but occasional frustrations centre on perceived chasing for payments and inconsistent responsiveness.

Professional, Efficient, and Saved Me Thousands

I was referred to Stephensons’ Costs Team through Partner Paul Loughlin, and I’m incredibly grateful I was. I needed legal representation to dispute an excessive legal bill I had received from another firm of solicitors, and within just an hour of the referral, Neil Smallwood called me directly. Neil clearly explained my options, outlined the estimated costs, and gave me immediate confidence in his approach. Neil, along with his colleague Lee Simpson, handled the matter with outstanding professionalism. They successfully challenged the bill, securing a reduction of over £4,500 — a result far better than I expected. The entire process was straightforward and stress-free. I was kept informed at every stage via email, and communication was always prompt and clear. Thanks to Stephensons, not only was the disputed amount significantly reduced, but the matter was settled without the need for court proceedings. As a result, my total fees ended up being even less than originally estimated. I’m genuinely pleased I chose Stephensons and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. A huge thank you to Paul, Neil, and Lee for their exceptional work.

Litigation Success

Andrew Whitehead of Stephensons superbly handled a long, drawn out, complex property dispute. All along, the objective was for a collaborative, out of court settlement. Andrew skillfully brokered a solution and showed patience, resilience and wise commercial acumen to a satisfactory conclusion. I would recommend Andrew and Stephansons to anyone in my network.

Exceptional solicitors

Consistent fast expert service. After being let down by my previous solicitors I was delighted to find Sophie Chilstone. She is consistently professional, knowledgeable and experienced. She explained everything clearly and helpfully. I am so glad I found her.

Supported with a S21A Challenge

I was supported by Megan Taylor through a S21A Challenge process. This resulted in a brilliant outcome, meaning the person we support was able to move to a less restrictive placement. This has allowed the person we support to finally have the independence they have been striving for. Thank you for all your support on this case it has been invaluable. It has been a pleasure to work alongside you, and I shall look forward to working with you in future.

Supportive experience

Cameron provided an invaluable support in legal terms and personal support which was much appreciated in these challenging times. He was very educational about the approach to take which I could understand and agree to. The outcome was positive and I would happily recommend his services.

For Eviction Procedure

Our Solicitor Sophie Chilstone was excellent. Sophie sent reply quickly not only that if we don't response within 24 hours she asked someone in the office to ring us and contact us and confirm whether we received documents or not?
