5* experience

I was put in touch with Michael Woolf who dealt with my case with utmost professionalism and focus. I felt he gave my case undivided attention. He was methodical, thorough and at the end, I was very satisfied and relieved with the outcome. I will definitely use Michael’s services again if I find myself in need of help again.

Poor, unprofessional, irresponsible service

Mita Shah solicitor in Fellowes solicitors is irresponsible very lazy and unprofessional. I have been waiting for deeds on the property I bought in 2022.
She was asking for extra money in case she has to do extra work. She promised to refund. I have never received the money back yet. Only excuses and promises that it will be done soon.
I will not recommend her at all.

Amazing experience overall!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Simon Blanch during my fare evasion case.

From the very beginning, Simon exhibited a level of professionalism and dedication that immediately put me at ease during a stressful and uncertain time.

Simon's expertise in the field of law was evident in every interaction I had with him. He took the time to thoroughly understand the intricacies of my case and provided clear and concise explanations of the legal process, ensuring that I was informed and prepared every step of the way. His attention to detail and strategic approach to handling my case were truly impressive.

Not only did Simon demonstrate his legal prowess, but he also showed genuine compassion and empathy towards me as his client. He listened attentively to my concerns, offered valuable advice, and always made himself available to address any questions or anxieties I had. His unwavering support and reassurance gave me the confidence I needed to navigate through the legal proceedings with peace of mind.

Thanks to Simon's expertise and unwavering dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome in my case. I am beyond grateful for his hard work, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to securing the best possible result for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Simon Blanch to anyone in need of legal representation. He is not only an outstanding solicitor but also a compassionate advocate who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being.

Thank you, Simon, for your exceptional service and for making a challenging experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. You are truly a credit to your profession.

Friendly and Approachable

Having researched many criminal law firms around our area, we finally settled on Fellows Solicitors. Simon Blanch's legal knowledge, approachable and down to earth attitude but our minds at ease in very stressful times with our family. Their approach to legal representation seemed sincere and always seemed to put us first. We are very satisfied with the outcome and are extremely grateful for their help. I would definitely recommend Simon and Fellows Solicitors.

Pleasant Experience

My wife and I had to deal with a legal case and found Fellows Solicitors by searching through the web sites and chose them reading their reviews that was mostly positive . We met Simon Blanch and he handled our case. We found him to be knowledgeable about the legal issues related to our case. He was calm and positive without giving us false hope of success and that was helpful. We followed his advice and with his help we had a positive result that made us very happy. He was polite and helpful and went out of his way to help and that was beyond our expectations having dealt with other Solicitors in the past. We did not deal with anyone else at this Law Firm other than Simon Blanch and that has been a pleasant experience. He charges as he said and did not look for excuses to charge more and that was helpful. I would recommend Fellows Solicitors and particularly Simon Blanch and would refer to him for help if needed in future. Thank you Simon.

Speeding Settlement

I approached Simon for advice in regards to potential points for speeding. To avoid obtaining points on my license Simon assisted me on the situation and was very efficient dealing with the matter. He was very quick in producing the necessary document and was very responsive! Would highly recommend Simon - class Lad!! 👍🏻

Drivers Licence Disqualification court referral

I was facing a 6 months ban for having 12 points on my licence. I told my situation to Simon at fellowes solicitors. Simon presented a brilliant summary of my situation to a barrister named Tommy who was excellent at pleading my case in exceptional Hardship to the the Magistrate court. I was in a bad situation and the guys at fellowes solicitors saved the day. The Judges accepted the barristers plea on my behalf and refrained from imposing a 6 MONTH BAN. THANKYOU SIMON for taking up my case and getting me a FIRST CLASS barrister.

Everything she did was incorrect

The worst legal experience I have ever had. Misleads you on progress and incorrectly advises on activities completed. I had to proof read her documents and notify the mistakes.

I purchased my first property through Fellowes solicitors in May 2023. As I write this in May 2025, I am still awaiting my purchase to be registered with Land Registry. Despite chasing them several times by email and on the phone, I am just offered balderdash and piffles, like…. “After reviewing your application with HM Land Registry, I can confirm that it is still being processed. They have raised one additional requisition, which I have now addressed. I anticipate that the application will be completed shortly, most likely by the end of next week. I will provide an update and forward your registration documents as soon as I receive further correspondence from HM Land Registry.”….. those next weeks have come and long gone but the the registration of my property is still outstanding.

They still owe me £30 which I doubt very much will ever be returned, not because they want to keep it but just for the sheer lack of care.

I have since completed the purchase of a different property, through another solicitor, and the whole process took 3 months. Today, after 4 months since completion, I have already received confirmation of the registration of the second property being completed with Land Registry. What a difference it makes when your affairs are handled by an organised set of professionals.

Have had excellent experience with this firm a couple of times in the past. However, awful experience recently and if you read the 1 star reviews, a clear pattern emerges. Still no resolution met so think a call to the SRA is in order.
