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.
Johnson Astills Solicitors Review Scores & Client Satisfaction Overview
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.

Excellent professional service
I was impressed when I used this firm before and have continued to be impressed. Kate and Lucy , the trainee assisting, were always professional and courteous. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and talked me through all options and aspects of the process and the documentation with clarity and expertise. I would not hesitate to use this firm again and to recommend Kate to my colleagues and friends.

Gina Payne - Outstanding Service from Start to Finish
Gina helped me with the conveyancing for my late dad's house, and I genuinely couldn't have asked for better support.
She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, always keeping me updated and answering any questions promptly. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also kind, understanding and a pleasure to deal with during what was a difficult time.
I recommend Gina to everyone I speak to who is looking for a solicitor because she truly stands out above the rest. If you're looking for someone who is efficient, supportive and genuinely cares about their clients, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

When you want the best
Although in theory many professional services can be completed without guidance from a genuine professional there are times when you believe that only the best will do. I recently needed a competent conveyancer and someone experienced in probate. At Johnson Astill I found the expertise I needed and despite the numerous phone calls for clarification, response was always prompt, clear and unfailingly courteous and friendly. Needless to say, my advice to anyone wanting the peace of mind which comes with real expertise “You cannot do better than putting your affairs in the hands of Johnson Astill.”
Used free wills service, really helpful and sorted quickly and easily

Outstanding support and advice
From the first contact with Johnson Astills and Zahrah Mogra was assigned to the case, we knew we were in very capable hands. Zahrah was very responsive and her professionalism and advice helped me through the interview. The clarity of her advice was excellent and to the point. We appreciated her excellent and proactive communication and her friendly approach in a stressful situation. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Zahrah and Johnson Astills.

Crime/ Criminal Defence
S A Case
Being arrested on an allegation of S A was the most shocking and traumatic experience of my life. In a single moment, everything I had worked for and believed in felt like it had been taken away.
At the police station, I was provided with a duty solicitor and released on pre-charge bail. Over the following months, I attended three bail appointments, yet each time no one was there to see me. Instead, I was simply handed another letter with a new bail date. Whenever I contacted my solicitor for an update, I was repeatedly told not to worry and that someone would call me. No one ever did.
The uncertainty was unbearable. The stress and anxiety became overwhelming, especially as I knew that my witness, whose details I had provided from the very beginning, had still not been properly contacted. After countless phone calls, emails and complaints to the police, I finally received a call from the investigating officer.
It is impossible to describe how that phone call made me feel. I was told that I had been charged and that my solicitor had already been informed by letter. My heart sank. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt completely abandoned, not only by the system but also by the solicitor who was supposed to be representing me.
That same day, after speaking with my family and close friends, I decided I needed a fresh start. I began searching online for a new solicitor. Like anyone else, I read countless reviews, but something kept drawing me to Johnson Astills Solicitors.
Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
From my very first conversation with the team, and especially from my first meeting with Helen, everything changed. For the first time since my arrest, I felt someone genuinely listened to me, believed in me and was prepared to fight for me. Helen's professionalism, honesty and reassurance immediately lifted an enormous weight from my shoulders.
From that moment until the conclusion of my case, I never once felt unsupported. Every question I had was answered, every concern was taken seriously, and I always knew that Helen was doing absolutely everything possible to achieve the best outcome.
One moment that will stay with me forever was when Helen told me she had been working on my case until midnight the night before my hearing. While most people would have been resting, she was still preparing my defence. That level of commitment speaks volumes about the dedication she has to her clients.
Walking into court as a defendant is something I hope no innocent person ever has to experience. It is frightening, confusing and emotionally exhausting. I remember hearing the judge discussing dismissing the case, but I was so overwhelmed that I wasn't even sure what I had heard.
Then I spoke to Helen.
She smiled and said, "It's over. You're going home." Those are words I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Living with a S A allegation hanging over me was devastating. It affected every aspect of my life and caused me more emotional pain than I can put into words. But thanks to Helen and everyone at Johnson Astills Solicitors, I was able to get through the darkest period of my life.
Their professionalism, compassion, dedication and unwavering belief in me made all the difference. They didn't just represent me—they stood beside me when I needed someone the most.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Helen and the entire team at Johnson Astills Solicitors for everything they did for me. Thank you for fighting for me, for believing in me, and for helping me get my life back.
I would also like to wish Olivia and all of the trainee solicitors every success in their careers. If they learn from professionals like Helen and the rest of the team, they will have outstanding futures ahead of them.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I am delighted that I was able to persuade the Judge that the case should be thrown out before the trial even started. It was definitely the right result and worth burning the midnight oil for!
I hope you will be able to put this terrible experience behind you and move on now.

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.
