Poor Advice and High Fees

I engaged Irwin Mitchell for employment-related advice and was ultimately disappointed by their service. The advice provided was not even tailored to my specific situation and ultimately proved unhelpful, as they kept referring me to my employer. Communication was often unclear, making the process frustrating. Furthermore, the unexpectedly high fees significantly exceeded the initial rate discussed in our email exchange. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend their services.

Very poor service.

Irwin Mitchell took three years and charged many thousands of pounds to assemble a case for deputyship that failed.

They made many failures and their own complaints procedure (after a few snide insults) agreed to pay me back a portion of those fees.

Following this I appealed by myself, costing me nothing except a few hours work. In a 10 minute conversation I changed the mind of the judge who ruled against deputyship.

It's much harder to to change someone's mind. Irwin Mitchell did a very poor job, messing up on numerous points. It felt as if they viewed it as an exercise in making money.

A waist of time and money.

My shop was partially closed because a damage caused by a storm. After instructing irwin mitchel they needed three month till they sent the first letter to opponent. Another letter with few sentences which can be written in ten minutes the solicitor spent one month to send it. Conclusion five months been waisted and this firm does not seems to take me any where!
Inappropriate legal work, unprofessional, irresponsible, time and money wasters.
.dealt with spencer lawn.
Highly Not to be recommended.

Worst claim handler ever?

Complete waste of time if you engage this firm if you want your claim properly handled by a qualified and experienced practitioner.
They completely mishandled my claim against a roofing contractor and worse failed to address the many issues when I complained to them by:
1) Assigning the 'assessment' of my claim to a "paralegal". Shorthand for "unqualified and/or inexperienced" in my case.
2) When I questioned a long list of fundamental errors and misunderstanding of my claim in her initial 'assessment' of my claim, this "paralegal" could not (or would not) address ANY of my specific concerns. She demonstrated a complete lack of very basic knowledge (just one example was asking me why I was claiming for a new TV aerial instead of getting a quote to repair the completely destroyed item when anyone with common sense would know that the cost of replacing a TV aerial is primarily in the fitting and adjusting and they NOT repairable.
3) The paralegal then invented a fictitious 'value' for the company I was claiming against that was very low and then used this to dismiss my claim as being 'unrecoverable' against the contractor.
4) When I complained the same paralegal then demanded that I provide an (unnecessary at this stage) expert witness statement that conformed to CPR part 2 when the brief she was working to was an initial assessment of the value and viability of my claim, not in preparing an application to court. This paralegal then used this for unnecessary demand to cease acting on my claim.
5) When I made a complaint about the apparent inexperience and lack of qualifications of the paralegal her manager failed to address any of the specific issue I complained about and simply closed ranks with her paralegal and summarily dismissed my complaints.
Altogether very poor service and you would be better of using a local (qualified and experienced) solicitor rather than this firm

Medical Negligence helped to get answers and secure positive outcomes

This review is for a different branch.

Last year my wife passed away whilst in a mental health hospital. Initially, the NHS Trust tried to justify the circumstances and did not seem to acknowledge their failings in keeping my wife safe. So without Irwin Mitchell's help, the family would not have got the answers we deserved.

The Irwin Mitchell team (Thomas Riss-Bristow, Larrisa Harpley & Adam Wisman) were brilliant from the start, helping to gather all the required evidence, liaising with the Coroners office and the NHS legal representatives and then supporting the family during a week-long Inquest and the following legal discussions that came after. The team were professional, compassionate and caring throughout and I would highly recommend Tom and the team as they were key in helping us to get answers during these traumatic times.

Messed about and ripped off

This review is for a different branch.

appointed these following a dispute with a kitchen retailer who took my money upfront and failed to complete the job
They have ripped me and my insurance company off for approximately 50 grand taken almost 3 years to achieve nothing, had me pay out over £2500 for independent inspection reports all 100% favouring my claim and have now walked away after myself and my family have lived and suffered in a partly fitted kitchen and they advised me to leave it in such a Way as to give the retailer a fare chance to come back and compete the works

The company that carried out the report also dealt with legal matters and they quoted 5k to take the case on however I’d already engaged with Irwin Mitchell

To say it’s not fair is an understatement

Better and cheaper options out there!

This review is for a different branch.

Be careful as to whom you put down as an executor of a will because if it's a solicitors the charges for probate/dealing with the estate "could" run into thousands as per the experience here, and it's difficult to nigh impossible to remove them without having to go through a court. Whether it's charging by the hour or charging a percentage of the estate I am sure many don't realise how much this will cost because of course when you write a will you may have no idea of the fees that they will charge. So my advice is if your loved one has made a will through a solicitor maybe an uncomfortable conversation may be best to avoid a massive shock later. We will never know if using Irwin Mitchell as an executor was the wish of our loved one or if possible (alleged) "persuasion" was a factor when the will was being set up. I know our loved one would be horrified if they were still here.
