    Resolution

    I found myself dealing with a completely unfounded claim for wrongful dismissal and other fabricated allegations from an employee who had resigned and openly acknowledged doing so, yet still pursued a case with the help of his lawyers. A trusted friend recommended I speak to Omar Qassim, and I’m very glad I did. Omar and the team at Curwen’s helped me navigate an extremely stressful and challenging situation with clarity, reassurance, and professionalism.

    Omar went above and beyond in handling our employment matter. He took the time to understand every detail and tackled the case with both expertise and determination. Communication was always timely — no delays, no chasing — and he made sure we always knew what was happening and what to expect. His negotiation skills were excellent, and he secured a fair and just outcome that we are truly grateful for. Omar is professional, efficient, and exceptionally dedicated. I highly recommend him to anyone needing strong legal support in employment matters.

    Omar Qassim from Curwens Solicitors acted on my behalf at my request to deal with my employer. After hearing my case, my local lawfarm directed me to Curwens Solicitors because they felt it my case was complicated and sensitive and Curwens Solicitors were best place to deal with it. Since I engaged Omar Qassim it took us less than six months to get the satisfactory outcome I was looking for. From the very start Mr Qassim was realistic and told me how it was and what was achievable and not giving me false hope. He was very professional all the way through and acted with determination to achieve the outcome I wanted. He was very understanding of my situation, acted efficiently and effectively and ensured he dealt with any queries from my employer and me without delay. He was never late for any meetings. Curwens Administrative Services were good. My husband and I were impressed with his knowledge in this field. We recommend Omar Qassim and Curwens Solicitors for anyone looking for an Employment Lawyer for any employment issues especially serious and complicated cases.

      Poor communication and costly delays – Curwens (Enfield) My property sale fell through post-valuation at week 10 of conveyancing, largely due to an 8-week delay on their end in answering just two basic enquiries from the buyer's solicitor.—enquiries I was able to find answers for by myself in 3 weeks post-collapse. — This unnecessary lag resulted in significant wasted legal fees and holding expenses on my part. Communication was consistently poor throughout. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend sellers opt for a conveyancing team that operates on a true "No Sale, No Fee" basis to ensure their incentives align with actually progressing the sale. Very disappointing experience with Curwens Enfield. EDIT* Curwens' response below claims senior management is "actively reviewing" my file. In reality, at the time of posting my review, their internal complaints procedure was already fully completed and closed after they dismissed my concerns. No further internal investigation was offered until this public review appeared.

      A representative from Curwens LLP responded to this review

      Please accept our sincere apologies for the stress caused by your aborted sale. Our senior management team is actively reviewing your file timeline internally. Our client care letter outlines a direct, formal route to raise any service concerns with us. Please contact us directly so we can review the matters you raise.

      Curwens have acted for me on 2 separate occasions recently, both taking from pover previous conveyancers who had messed up the job. John Appleton and his team, particularly Danielle are exceptional: polite, professional, efficient and reliable getting the job down with a hands on approach keeping you informed every step of the way. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to friends or family.
