Outstanding service.

I am delighted with the service I received from Lee and the team of solicitors at Aletta Shaw Blackheath. Lee was professional, listened to me, and followed up when he said he would. To be honest I signed up with Aletta Shaw because of the excellent service that was promised. Amazingly once I was signed up as a client, he continued to deliver – Lee is a first class solicitor, he showed empathy to my specific needs, offered a vast array of options to move forward with, above all, his knowledge of the law is outstanding. Really above and beyond. I have dealt with several solicitors over the years. Lee really goes the extra mile and his level of service is, in my experience, unprecedented.

Great Experience & Extremely Grateful

Great experience with Emilia from Aletta Shaw. Given the intricate nature of the case her pragmatism and transparency was much appreciated and reassuring at times of need. She kept constant communication and never failed to inform me of the status of my case - she often went above and beyond to ensure I was equipped and well-informed at all points. I especially appreciated her patience at points where I insisted on my own personal approach; her creative solutions to the issue informed by her expertise and her willingness to work with me to reduce further stress. Would recommend her services to others and am immensely grateful for her help.

Excellent, professional, LGBTQIA+ friendly servie

We began the house buying process in October last year after finding a buyer for our property. Immediately looking for an LGBTQIA+ friendly solicitor, we came across Aletta Shaw Solicitors. A good start. From first contact, through to instruction, the team were friendly, informative, responsive and professional. Once we had instructed, we were assigned Brooke Mahoney. It's at this point the magic really began.

Our sale and purchase were long, and arduous, but none of this was due to the excellent service we received from Brooke and her team. In fact it's due to Brooke and co that this sale even completed. You see our chain was a long one, and the bottom of the chain was difficult.

Brooke went above and beyond during the chase for exchange, giving us continual updates, providing us with details and contacts that we could use to legally expedite the service, and combined with our excellent agent, she was responsible for holding the chain together, chasing and putting pressure on the solicitors below us to get themselves in order and eventually getting us to exchange at the last possible moment.

The sale of our first home and the purchase of our new home wouldn't have happened without the excellent service we received, and I am ever grateful for Brooke Mahoney's perfect example of professionalism, and she will forever set the standard for our interactions with conveyancers in the future.

Thank you!

Incompetence at its best

Alleta Shaw incompetent Solicitors at its best.

This is possibly due to the company being run by a Managing Director that lacks attentiveness, intelligence, morals and ethics.

They are not able to even type up an invoice properly. That may seem like nothing….right?

It gets better..

Not recognising miss clauses within a contract, their own client had to points them out to them.

Not recognising or understanding the use of English used by third party to establish property is not signed off and will not be signed off anytime soon.

Not double checking details or information from client being forwarded on to them for the best interest of client and their own reputation.

(The above is just a few great factual examples of the service that they provided)

The big question is why ever Aletta Shaw?

Choose those that actually care.

Avoid

Appointed this firm to handle my divorce and pension sharing arrangement. I am onto my 3rd solicitor with this firm. Their work is riddled with inaccuracies, which are often to my detriment. In one instance, I waited over a month for a reply to my email.

Property purchase

From beginning to end the service provided by Soniya,Sue and the rest of the team was exemplary. I was kept informed of every step of the process and if there was anything I needed to do to make the process easier. I have used Aletta Shaw Solicitors previously and will continue to do so for all my legal requirements.

Excellent Speedy Service

I was recommended to Aletta Shaw by a family member who had used them previously and I received excellent service. I needed a very quick turn around for an employment issue and only had a few days to finalise. The team were very professional, gave good advice and completed in the required time. I would use again and recommend.
