Like a stereotype of bad lawyers
Do NOT use the Newcastle-Under-Lyme office for conveyancing. So slow. Jeopardised the transaction with their delays and poor advice.

We had a dispute over a border with our neighbours. Birkett Long took the case but it was passed to several staff, the communication with the person handling the case was extremely poor, they were not well informed of the facts and were poorly prepared, they were almost impossible to get a hold of, the final resolution was delayed and things are still not completely resolved because of the delays experienced. It was an extremely negetive experience. Eventually we made a formal complaint and finally a more professional person took over and actually responded to us and we were able to finalise the case.
We have used Keebles the firm taken over by Knights for many years . Since the take over they are unrecognisable. Unhelpful, money grabbing - their bottom line is more important than their clients needs. Terrible billing that results in cases being locked before completion…

Having had a very long drawn out process of trying to negotiate a financial split from my ex husband using a different solicitor, it was refreshing to be told with some degree of certainty what we could realistically expect to happen. Given that it was not a huge case involving vast sums of money, at no time was I made to feel that it didn't matter or wasn't important. Rather, I felt understood and listened to for which I am grateful.

Thank you for your excellent professional legal work in resolving the appalling construction of our Conservatory, which you legally tied the Conservatory company in knots over and prevented any further monies to be paid. I would not hesitate to recommend your legal litigation services to our friends if they required efficient expertise and " forbid ourselves if the need ever arose again in the future". With Kind Regards and Thanks to Mr. Elliot Cousins, Miss Chloe Hickford and your Reception Staff. Great value for money until recently when Birkett Solicitors increased the hourly rates

Thank you for your generous feedback. We’re glad to hear that our team, especially Mr. Cousins and Miss Hickford, could assist you effectively with your conservatory issue. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.
Thorough, to the point and professional at every juncture.
Many thanks for your comments David, we appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.
My solicitor was very helpful, guiding me through each stage of the process and supporting with some of the difficulties I encountered. I really felt as if she was acting in my best interests throughout.
As always the commitment, service and professionalism I received from iBB Law, in this case Devika, were exceptional, that is why you have been my solicitors for nearly 50 years.
I would be happy to recommend IBB Law. We encountered what seemed to be a fairly unique scenario for all concerned during our recent house sale and purchase that made exchange and completion throughout the chain problematic. The team at IBB law did a fantastic job collaborating with other solicitors in the chain and various estate agents and at all times keeping us informed. The service throughout was solid and the final pack provided at completion proved a thorough and useful asset. A friendly, amenable and professional team.

We needed expert advice very quickly on a party wall problem. All problems were dealt with efficiently & quickly.
Many thanks for your 5 star review Anne. I will ensure that Jon and his team hear your comments.

Over the past year James has represented me in the settlement and distribution of my late father's estate. It was very reassuring to have his expertise and guidance through difficult family issues that arose. He was responsive, objective and kind. His services were efficient and fairly priced. I would definitely recommend him.

Hayley, Emma and Tyron have been outstanding from start to finish. Not only dealing with a time sensitive case but also liaising with another challenging solicitor. I would highly recommend.

I used Knights and Hayley Goldstone to deal with the purchase of the freehold for a block of apartments by the leaseholders. Hayley was very professional and helpful in what was a very complicated purchase due to the change in the law under the Building Safety Act 2022 and the need to obtain a FREAW report on the external cladding on the listed building. I would highly recommend

Emma was hugely helpful in closing out an existing Land Registry claim by expediting the process and keeping me in the loop throughout. Much appreciated her support and time.

Contacted Knights today regarding Wills and Estate and was told somebody would call me back and they didn’t. Also spoke with Devika about acting on our behalf regarding property. Gave her addresses of both properties amongst other details so would have hoped to have received quote today. This didn’t happen, I got one email asking for address of property to buy even though this was given and then another email later in the day asking for address of property we have to sell. I am dumbfounded at how poor the service is so far so after looking at reviews below, safe to say we will not be proceeding with Knights if service is so bad before we’ve even started. This is what happens when private equity companies buy up businesses and start stripping it of anything that is quality and it’s all about profits. Poor service and calibre of staff.
Excellent service from start to finish
My mother recently passed away and IBB (now Knights) were holding her papers, I started the request a month ago and I am still waiting for them to locate the papers. I keep being told “we cannot locate the papers currently as the archives have moved and nobody knows the new system”, blah blah, I am starting to think “can’t locate” equates to LOST! Shocking…
I used IBB LAW for a recent court case. I had Jennifer Lewin as my solicitor. She was brilliant, gave very good advice and was very reassuring. I will definitely use IBB again and again. Thank you IBB law.
Laurence, Julie and the team at IBB Law spared no effort in helping us successfully complete our purchase before the stamp duty increase, despite a tight timeline. Client service and responsiveness was 10/10 and we greatly appreciated their guidance as first time buyers. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
