Reliable and efficient solicitors with a warm and friendly approach

This is the 3rd time I have used Franklins and I feel I can trust them to get the job done without delays. Communication has always been good and although not the cheapest, you get good service for your money.

Worst experience I have ever had with a law firm

I had the worst experience you could imagine with this law firm. It was a family law matter and from having senior partners tell me ‘I just want to get this off my desk’ to being passed around with no less than FIVE different solicitors taking over the case during one year. There was no consistency or continuity and on top of everything I felt they did wrong which is a very long list, they also overcharged and charged multiple times for the same work, as yet (even after admitting the overcharging) they have not reimbursed me. I made a formal complaint about all of this and as per their own company procedures this should have been dealt with or responded to in 30 days, it has been seven months of excuses for not getting back to me. I advise against using this firm, they are expensive unorganised and disrespectful. If I could say more and give a lower rating I would. I am now filing a formal complaint with the legal ombudsman. I had a horrible experience and want to warn others so they don’t have to spend thousands for the same outcome. Lastly, once I fired them and engaged another firm my case proceeded smoothly and I ‘won’ as I ended up with exactly the outcome I had proposed and fought for. I wish I had not chosen Franklins to represent me in the beginning

Expert, clear and reassuring when it mattered most I recently used Franklins Solicitors LLP for advice and cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from Georgia Harris in the Corporate Services Team. From our first meeting she gave me immediate confidence that I was being well looked after. She has a real ability to take complex legal matters and explain them clearly and simply, making sure I understood my options fully, including any risks and potential consequences. That meant I could make informed decisions at every stage rather than simply being told what to do. Georgia was also consistently prompt in responding to my questions throughout the process — something that made a real difference when dealing with a stressful situation. If you are looking for an solicitor who combines genuine expertise with clear communication and real care for their client, I would not hesitate to recommend Georgia Harris and the team at Franklins Solicitors LLP.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We really appreciate it. We are delighted to hear that Georgia provided you with immediate confidence and explained complex matters clearly and simply. We do hope that you continue to think of Franklins should you need legal support in the future. Kind regards, Bethany

Georgia Harris from the Milton Keynes branch was very professional, helpful and felt to go the extra mile as far as keeping me up to date and dealing with any extra bits and pieces. I'd never had to do anything legal before and I found the process confusing originally. She really helped me to understand everything and to walk me through my options. She provided a professional, empathetic and all round excellent service. I will definitely be using Franklins again in the future if I have need of a solicitor!

I approached Franklins after being recommended them by my mortgage advisor. I have to say I have heard some horror stories about solicitors and was not looking forward to the process. But, Franklins, in particular Emma Sinclair changed my mind completely. Emma took our case on with the upmost professionalism. She was always available to speak to and easy to get hold of. She kept us up-to date at each stage of the process, explaining things we didn’t understand and advising us along the way. She worked so hard to get us into our new house and we cannot thank her enough. I would recommend Franklins Solicitors to anyone. Thank you so much Emma.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. We are pleased to hear that Emma was professional, hard working and that you would recommend Franklins Solicitors to anyone.

The biggest mistake

Weeks of no communication and risking the whole sale. The most stressful part of buying a house, by far, was dealing with Franklins.

Be very careful of using Franklins for property purchases

Thought Franklins had done an amazing on my property purchase in August 2022. Unfortunately in April 2024 I discovered that the management fee accounts dating back as far as 2017 had not been finalised and all of the adjustments were now my financial responsibility. As my acting solicitor on my purchase it was Franklins responsibility to have found this out and advise me of it pre purchase. As it stands at the moment I am £1300 out of pocket with another 2 years 8 months of adjustments that date prior to my purchase that I will be liable for when the accounts are completed. I have been in contact with Franklins since April and gone through their 8 week complaint process and all I have had back is "they are conacting the sellers solicitor". Appalling!

House move - extremely slow service. Frustrating is an under statement

We contacted the conveyancing department yesterday regarding issues with my daughter's house move. We live in Australia. Managed to speak to the person responsible for dealing with the move, insisted she send us the information necessary for us to assist with speeding up the matter. This person assured us that she will send documents through via email within a day. It is day 2 and we have not received anything from her. When we spoke to her on the phone from Australia, we were insistence that she acts quickly as this may impact on my daughter's house purchase. Potentially she could lose the purchase after having already waiting for 8 months for Franklins to conduct the purchase. We are totally disappointed and and dissatisfied with the conveyancing team and their attitude with the handling of properties purchase. We are surprised with the number of negative reviews they are still in business. The next stage would be for us to contact the legal ombudsman regarding their practice.
