Second time using Harper McLeod, 2 different divisions and both transaction went smoothly. Were kept up to date throughout the process and emails, calls returned in a timely manner. Would highly recommend Harper McLeod, Inverness.

Professional Efficient Customer Service

From the first phone call I experienced a most professional, courteous service. I phoned the company to enlist their assistance for the purchase of a property. I wanted to submit an offer the same day as I viewed the property. It was late pm on a Friday afternoon and I was aware that my request was almost asking the impossible. However, the formal offer was submitted on the following Monday/Tuesday after a verbal offer had been accepted. My “case” was extremely complicated and took a little longer for the settlement than normal. The lady who I dealt with was effective, efficient, courteous and eventually “got the job done” even though she had a much more important personal matter to deal with at this time.

A representative from Harper Macleod Llp responded to this review

Dear Marina, thank you for your positive review. We really appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback and we'll pass on your comments to the team.

PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE

Harper Macleod have been my family solicitor since my father died and have been superb to deal with. Their trusts and tax team have been supportive and caring in their dealings with my Mum as she slid into Alzheimer's. Andrea Ross gets a special mention for handling our property conveyancing and has been so helpful, proactive and efficient throughout. Having dealt with property transactions for many years with so many slow solicitors out there - we recommend HM for any such transactions in Scotland - superb service and great team members.

I recently used Harper MacLeod, Elgin for a Conveyancing Sale matter. Will Davidson was the fee earner dealing with the process and he was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Will concluded the sale quickly and efficiently and I was treated in a very professional, kind and courteous manner. Not being in Scotland meant Will had to explain the vagaries of Scottish Conveyancing and he was patient and informative. I fully recommend him. I can also recommend Estate Agent, Lisa Sturgeon and team who were also very professional and helpful. Lisa dealt with documentation problems, unfortunately caused by the surveyor, very quicky. Both of the above statements are my personal opinions and I will have no hesitation in using Harper Macleod for any further private client expertise.

Dear Rona, thank you so much for your feedback – we’re really pleased to hear you had a positive experience. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Will & the team!

Personal Injury claim (Joe McNeilage )

Absolutely fantastic service from Joe McNeilage at Harper Macleod LLP. Joe handled my personal injury claim from start to finish and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support. He was professional, friendly, easy to deal with and always kept me updated throughout the process. Everything was explained clearly, and I never felt left wondering what was happening with my claim. Joe made the whole process as stress-free as possible and clearly had my best interests at heart. I was extremely happy with the service I received and with the final outcome. Joe is a credit to Harper Macleod and I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone needing help with a personal injury claim. Genuinely first-class service 5 stars.

Laura McLean has been an absolute rock

Laura McLean has been my solicitor through an extremely long, difficult divorce and she has been an absolute rock throughout. Always totally focussed on my best interests, but also always mindful of costs, both financial and emotional. I could not have hoped for a better solicitor.

I unfortunately had to deal with Harper and MacLeod due to a car accident (it was the accident that was the unfortunate part) Alana, was my case handler and from the very first call I was out at ease and the process of dealing with legal matters was explained to me. Throughout the duration of the case Alana worked tirelessly to get the correct outcome for myself. I was updated at every stage on what the progress was and how it would move forward. I would 100% recommend Harper and MacLeod as they are professional, reliable and most of all caring.

Outstanding support, advice and superb tenacity allowing a potentially stressful situation to be dealt with, with regards to our house completion. Nicola McGuire has helped ourselves and two sons to move this year. Would highly recommend. Don't take a chance going anywhere else. Stick with Nicola, she knows what she is doing and will treat you with empathy, understanding and ultimately offer her knowledge and high work ethic to help you .

I cannot thank Karen Barre at Harper Macleod Glasgow enough for her support. Karen handled my personal injury claim after my car accident and was incredibly professional, efficient, and took the stress out of the process. She explained every step clearly and kept me regularly updated via phone and email. Communication was first-class from start to finish and resolved a potentially stressful case flawlessly. I like to thank Karen and the firm for their brilliant support.

Harper Macleod has handled all legal business I've had for well over half my life. They are thoroughly reliable pros with multi-faceted specialist knowledge. I write this review making special mention of Jacqueline Meikle and Nicole Ogilvie. Over the past two months, they've handled what started out looking like a very straightforward piece of work, but turned into a whole extended saga that was, frankly, bizarre. Nicole and Jacqueline handled it with aplomb and, I felt, looked after my interests with personal detail and consideration. Thankfully it's concluded now and I hope that the next time I deal with these people, it will be something less complex, but regardless of the work, I wouldn't be looking anywhere else for legal representation.
