We dealt with Shakira , who looked after us while we updated our Wills and put LPAs in place . At all times she was professional , polite , knowledgeable and efficient . I would definitely recommend Franklins and Sharika .
The staff were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to others.
I needed help with writing my will, Laura listened to my wishes and helped guide me through the legal aspects. She did this with sensitivity and empathy.
Adam and his team provided an excellent professional service carrying out the probate for my late mother's estate and took a great deal of pressure from me. Would highly recommend.
Helen explained everything very well and replied to enquires/queries promptly. Helen has provided our family with peace of mind for the future.
I had used Franklins since 2020, after a sudden death in the family meant I wanted to protect my new estate. The member of the family that died used Franklins so I thought if it was good enough for them, it'd be plenty for me. Although I only had two wills written up and used Franklins for a potential property purchase that eventually fell through, I always felt at ease with them and recommended them to anyone when relevant. When it came to voiding the wills I had made and asking for them back, I was very disappointed to be told there was a fee to retrieve them from storage when in fact, I was told my payments covered everything when I had them drafted. When I raised this, they suddenly waived the fee. I then had to persistently ask why they tried to charge me, they wouldn't acknowledge my question until I refused to answer theirs. I eventually got my wills back, but the experience has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I'll be using another solicitor when I draft a new will.
Hi Ollie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for having trusted Franklins over a number of years for your legal matters. We are pleased to hear that your previous experiences with our team left you feeling at ease and confident in recommending our services to others. However, we are sorry to learn that you were disappointed by your more recent experience regarding the return of your Wills. As outlined in our terms of business, an administration fee may apply when retrieving documents from storage. However, on this occasion, the fee was waived as a gesture of goodwill. We regret that this was not communicated in a way that met your expectations. Client experience is very important to us and feedback such as this helps us review how we communicate our processes in the future. We are pleased the matter was ultimately resolved and we wish you all the best moving forward. Kind regards Rosanna
Eddie and Tayla efficiently managed the making of new wills for myself and my partner.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it. We are pleased to hear that Eddie and Tayla managed things efficiently. We do hope that you continue to think of Franklins should you ever need legal advice in the future. Many thanks, Bethany
We went to Franklins for advice with estate planning and our wills. We found them to be extremely helpful , listening carefully to understand what we were trying to achieve and then setting out the options clearly. Communication was clear, concise and prompt, they were also clear with their fee structure from the outset, thanks Eddie and team.
Thank you Richard for taking the time to leave such a kind review for Eddie and the team. We are pleased to hear that the team was extremely helpful, they listed carefully and there communication was clear concise and prompt. I will pass these kind words on to the team, and we hope you think of Franklins should you ever need legal advise in the future. Many thanks, Bethany
Slow to follow up queries and didn't always call me back when requested. Estate Agent found them difficult to deal with.
Hi Sue. We are very sorry to read your feedback. Please be assured we take customer service very seriously and your feedback has been passed on to our management team. If you would like to make contact and discuss this matter further, please do contact our Practice Manager Emma McNally on emma.mcnally@franklins-sols.co.uk. With regards, Sarah
Excellent service for both my conveyancing matter and previous connected probate matter. As the house sale progressed, I dealt with Sobhia, who I found to be both professional and friendly. Was good to have the same person to deal with. Sobhia responded quickly to questions from me and the estate agent and helpful explaining the forms in phone calls.
Thanks you for leaving a 5* review. It’s lovely to hear that you found Sobhia and our Probate team to be excellent. Plus, that you dealt with Sobhia on two separate occasions 😊 for your conveyancing needs. I will pas your kind words on to them all and I do hope that you will think of Franklins in the future when you next need legal advice. With best wishes, Sarah

Weeks of no communication and risking the whole sale. The most stressful part of buying a house, by far, was dealing with Franklins.
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.
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!
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.
We dealt with Shakira , who looked after us while we updated our Wills and put LPAs in place . At all times she was professional , polite , knowledgeable and efficient . I would definitely recommend Franklins and Sharika .
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
