ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check
How the Suitability Check works
The ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check is designed to help you understand whether a law firm may be suitable
for your legal matter and to support you in deciding what to do next.
It brings together information from publicly available sources, regulatory data, and verified client reviews
and ratings to make it easier to compare law firms and connect with a solicitor who may be suited to your needs.
ReviewSolicitors works with thousands of law firms across the UK, many of whom actively collect client reviews
through our platform. We aim to make it as simple and seamless as possible for you to find, compare, and connect
with a law firm that may be able to help with your matter.
However, the information shown here is based on data that is updated periodically. Solicitors can move between
law firms, law firms may change the areas of law they offer, and capacity to take on new client matters can vary
over time.
Checks on whether a law firm is accepting new clients are carried out on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending
on the information available to us. While this helps keep information up to date, we cannot guarantee that all
details will always be accurate at the time you view them.
In some cases, a law firm may appear as “Not accepting new clients through ReviewSolicitors” because they are not
actively engaged with us or have not confirmed their availability. They may still be accepting new clients
directly, and if you are unsure, it is always best to contact the law firm directly to confirm their expertise,
availability, and whether they have the capacity to handle your matter.
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Karen Fox
PROFESSIONAL CARING AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL
I cannot thank Rebecca Dean enough for all her help and support in dealing with my late father's estate. She guided me throughout with great professionalism, patience and understanding. Rebecca also dealt with a Deed of Variation for me, explaining everything clearly. I felt that nothing was too much trouble for Rebecca. She was approachable, helpful and extremely efficient at all times. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Rebecca Dean and Nelson's solicitors to anyone needing any help with an estate or similar matters. I am extremely grateful for the work she carried out for me.
Heidi took us (myself and my wife) through the process answering our questions clearly and professionally. We were totally satisfied with her support. Many thanks
An Exceptional Solicitor and Truly Remarkable Person
Our family has endured unimaginable trauma following the stillbirth of my granddaughter, baby Vienna. This was my daughter’s first baby, a moment in her life that should have been filled with joy, excitement, and dreams for the future. Instead, all of that hope was shattered in an instant, leaving my daughter and our entire family with a grief so deep that it has changed our lives forever.
The trauma my daughter has carried since losing her baby has been overwhelming. She has had to face day after day of heartbreak, confusion, and emotional pain that no mother should ever have to experience. Watching her try to rebuild her life while grieving her first child has been devastating. As her mum, you want nothing more than to take that unbearable pain away and lift it from her shoulders, but you simply cannot. All you can do is stand beside her, even when your own heart is breaking.
Throughout this incredibly difficult journey, I cannot express enough gratitude to Danielle.
Danielle didn’t just support us legally; she supported us emotionally too. She understood the depth of my daughter’s grief and treated her with compassion, patience, kindness, and genuine humanity. At a time when my daughter was at her most vulnerable, Danielle made her feel seen, heard, understood, and protected. She also helped me find the strength to continue supporting and encouraging my daughter through some of the darkest moments of our lives.
Danielle took great care in coordinating and arranging all of the professional parties involved in the case, ensuring that everything was handled sensitively, efficiently, and with the utmost consideration for my daughter’s wellbeing. Her organisation, communication, and guidance helped minimise any further emotional impact on my daughter and allowed her to focus on healing, knowing that the legal process was being managed with care and professionalism.
Danielle stood beside us through some of the most painful years of our lives, providing comfort, determination and reassurance, when we needed it most. She is an exceptional solicitor and, more importantly, a truly remarkable human being. Her compassion and dedication made a profound difference to my daughter and to our entire family during a time when we felt completely overwhelmed.
We will never forget the care, understanding, and support Danielle showed us. We will always be deeply grateful for everything she did for my daughter, for baby Vienna, and for our family.
Thank you, Danielle, from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for your heartfelt words, Angela. We are deeply grateful for the trust you placed in Danielle during such a profoundly difficult time for your family. It means a great deal to know that her care and dedication helped provide reassurance and support when it was needed most.

The first time I came in contact with Mandip was on the 06th July, 2026 via email. Then we had MS Teams appointment a few days after that. Mandip was warm, patient and answered all the questions I had at the time. We met again on the 29.07,26 to finalise everything and it was a real pleasure to have met her in person. Excellent service. Thank you Mandip.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, Lydia! We know how much of a difference it makes to feel listened to and put at ease, whether over Teams or in person, so hearing how pleased you were with Mandip's service means a great deal to our firm. Thank you for choosing us!

I have been working with Nelsons for around 8 weeks and I have been very happy with the services provided, the communication and transparency through the whole process has made it all stress free, thanks to Dhamini Patel and Aleksandra Ścibor. Aleksandra was amazing and has been very helpful with her being able to explain things to us in Polish. Dhamini made sure the whole process was very speedy and prompt and I appreciate that.
The price of the whole service was very adequate and reasonable, many thanks again, definitely would reccomend Nelsons
Thank you for your kind feedback, Barbara. We are pleased to hear that our team provided clear communication and support throughout your matter. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all the best.

Excellent and personal service throughout our dealings with Tom Glenister to create our new ‘Wills and Discretionary Trust’.
It was particularly reassuring to know that Tom has a personal interest and knowledge of people with learning disabilities. His help and understanding has given us the confidence that our concerns and hopes for our son’s future will be taken care of.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Avril! We are delighted that Tom could offer the specialized guidance and understanding needed for your son's trust. Knowing you have peace of mind for the future means the world to our team.

I had an excellent experience with Nelsons Solicitors, and in particular Holly, who handled my personal injury claim. Holly was professional, approachable and kept me informed throughout the entire process, explaining everything clearly and making what initially felt quite daunting much easier to understand. I really appreciated all of her hard work and support in achieving a successful outcome for my claim. I would highly recommend Holly and Nelsons Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal representation. Thank you again!
We really appreciate your kind words, Paul! It is wonderful to hear that Holly provided such clear, professional support and achieved a great result for you. Thank you for choosing Nelsons Solicitors and for recommending our team so highly.

I would like to thank Elly at Nelsons for the support she has provided throughout my house sale. It has been a long process, but Elly remained consistently professional, calm, and easy to reach.She responded promptly to both calls and emails, and explained any complicated points in clear, straightforward terms. Even during a prolonged Land Registry issue, when I was contacting her daily, she stayed patient and reassuring, which made a difficult situation much easier to manage.Overall, Elly delivered a reliable and supportive service from start to finish, and I genuinely appreciate her help. I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing a conveyancing solicitor.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review, Mandy! Property transactions can often be unpredictable, and we know how stressful a prolonged Land Registry issue can be. We are absolutely delighted to hear that Elly’s calm, patient, and reassuring approach helped ease your anxiety during that time. Thank you for your high recommendation, and we wish you all the very best!

I have been using Nelsons for financial and investment advice for many years and have always been very pleased with their service. Most recently Nathan Richardson has helped me and my husband through the myriad of options open to us on our retirement and to broaden our thinking and approach as to which funds to use for income and which for investments. We were very happy with the suggestions which were tailored to our risk profile and are already paying dividends (if you pardon the pun)! Would recommend.
Thank you for your kind feedback, Ann. We’re delighted to hear that you have been pleased with our service over the years and that Nathan was able to support you and your husband in planning for your retirement. It’s great to know his advice was tailored to your needs and is already delivering positive results.

How We Present Law Firm Ratings
We show you how this law firm is rated for the specific legal service
you're
interested in, as well as how the firm is rated overall. This helps you
understand both their specialist strengths and their broader reputation.
Law firms often assist clients with a wide range of legal matters-for
example,
one person may need help with a divorce, while another may be starting a
business. Because legal services are typically delivered by individual
solicitors within the firm, it's important to know how those particular
individuals are likely to perform in the area of law that matters to
you.
At the same time, an overall view of the law firm's performance can also
be
helpful. That's why we aim to give you both the specific insight and the
full
picture—so you can make an informed and confident choice.
