Clients say

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.

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?

No one is above the law

I had a particularly difficult tenant who worked in the legal profession and refused to vacate the property and pay rent for over a year . Stephensons knew the process step by step and recovered my property, rent arrears /plus interest and a significant amount of costs against the tenant . They all went out of their way to ensure a win against a tenant that tried every legal angle . So a big thank you to Sophie Chilstone ,Andrew Whitehead from Stephenson’s and Gary Lewis the barrister they assigned to my case . I would highly recommend these people they seriously know what they are doing

House sale

I can’t thank Gillian and Kate enough for their professional expertise in bringing a successful conclusion in the legalities of our house sale. It was reassuring to have them both helping with the trickier issues that arose. Thank you for all your help and efforts handling the sale, land registry and the other stressful components.

First Class Service

We have recently used Stephensons Solicitors in the conveyance of buying a property and selling our property. From start to finish we have received excellent service and support from Kim, Jenny and Chantelle who have been extremely professional throughout. They have always been available to discuss all our queries, especially the difficult issues encountered with aspects in the buying of the property, of which was handled with a positive attitude to gain the best outcome for ourselves, the clients. The selling of our property was additionally handled thoroughly. We would also like to thank Michelle in the initial discussion of the terms and conditions of both the buying and selling conveyance. Overall, we feel that all members of the team involved, are an asset to Stephensons organization.

Highly recommended

I wanted to take a moment to review the services I recently received from Stephensons Solicitors. It was an employment issue that was resolved quickly and with extreme professionalism. I was guided through every step by Chantelle Holsgrove and Phil Richardson who were extremely knowledgeable and very kind and courteous. Correspondence was kept updated very efficiently by Debbie Ratcliffe. All in all a very impressive service. I would highly recommend them.

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.

Shocking

Awful. Avoid. They call you 5 times a day when they want money then nothing happens. Worst customer service ever
