Very approachable

Jannina Barker was very approachable & professional. She put me a t ease & made the whole process straight forward. The process was completed swiftly. I was using the free wills scheme (leaving money to a charity), but did not feel this prejudiced the process.

Will and probate enquiries

Really unimpressed with rude and patronising untrained person after requesting callback. Totally unsympathetic following family members recent passing. Assumed I was looking for “free advice”. Would not recommend.

They did not fight for me

Contested Probate, they did not fight for me, they gave the other party freedom to ignore executor duties, On looking back at the paperwork, I can see No defence for me against ridiculous claims, and many sanctions against me, unquestioned. Doing better myself, with AI

Disgusting woman tried to put words into my mouth

I was arrested on 1st April 2025 after a neighbour dialled 999 and told lies about me. During police interview I was represented by a woman named Beth Walker of BJC who was supposedly there to protect my interests. I discovered later on that this idiotic woman had written in her notes that I had responded to a question from the interviewing police constable with the words "You are not allowed to ask that question!" But guess what? I NEVER said that. The notes accusing me of saying to the police "You are not allowed to ask that question!" were shown to a different solicitor later on to cause me further undeserved embarrassment. When the person who is supposed to be protecting your interests not only tries to put words into your mouth but words that actually sound then it's time to boycott that company - PERMANENTLY. I am absolutely disgusted by this.

Housing & Property

Very Satisfied with Jackson Lees

I worked with Lucy Joel of Jackson Lees to buy my first home. She has been absolutely professional at every step of the way. She explains everything clearly, gives frequent updates on the status/progress of the process and always answers her e-mails. Everything was very smooth from the initial explanation of the process to exchange of contracts and completion. Lucy worked extra-hard to make sure that I got the keys on the agreed date and always kept me in loop. The purchase was completed quite quickly with no hassle. I cannot think of anything else she could have done differently, everything was done very efficiently. I would recommend Lucy to my family and friends with ease.

Thanks for your 5 star review. We're delighted that Lucy and the team were able to ensure the purchase of your first property ran smoothly and efficiently. Congratulations! We wish you every happiness in your new home.

Trying to screwYou over

Never did what they said they would do ( get the videos of me being smashed up by the police DAR) If I signed their form for legally aid. I have this in reordered call. I feel they were just buying the police time. Be wary

Refund request

We request a refund from this company for a service that was no longer needed. The process of recovering a refund was unnecessarily long and frustrating (2 weeks) Jackson-lee have the tech to take your money in the blink of an eye, but a refund isn’t so straight forward. I will NOT use or recommend this company in the future.

Happy house-move client

Couldn’t have wished for a better service 🙏 Connor Simpson dealt with my case & I always found him willing to update & reassure me. Communication, both by e-mail & telephone was excellent & much appreciated during what was, for me, a very anxious & frustrating process. Would happily recommend Jackson Lees for conveyancing based on my own experience of moving house.

16/09/2026

Thank you for your 5-star review. We're glad you were pleased with the support you received and that Connor's responsive and approachable service helped make what can be a challenging experience easier to navigate. Thank you for recommending Jackson Lees to others. We'll be sure to share your kind comments with the team. If we can help with any legal needs in the future, please feel free to get in touch.

All very pleased

Service received was kindly and courteous. Most of the business side of things was done by my sister- in- law Mrs Patricia Marsh who seemed equally impressed by your efficiency. After an initial face to face meeting with you , then, keeping me, my son and daughter well informed by frequent phone calls she did all the rest from her home in Essex. My (90year old) brain would not have coped well enough. Thank you all very much. Kind Regards, Ian C. Samples

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased you found the service kind, courteous and efficient, and that the regular updates helped keep you and your family informed throughout. It's also lovely to hear that Mrs Marsh was able to manage everything smoothly from Essex and was equally impressed with the support she received. Thank you for your kind words. If we can help with anything else in the future, please get in touch. Best regards Nicky Jackson Lees
