Will/POA

I don't feel I can give a definitive review after such a short experience with Thorntons. However, all the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and my requirements were dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. I only engaged them because they had bought over the partnership I had dealt with previously, and they were already holding my documents. The fact that nobody informed me that this takeover had happened leaves me slightly concerned about the ethos of the company.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your feedback, Marie. We are pleased to hear that you found our team friendly, helpful and efficient. We also appreciate your comments regarding the communication around the transfer of your previous firm's documents, and we value you taking the time to share your experience.

Been working with Alan to figure out what was needed vs what was available in Scottish law to sort out an inheritance and property issue in the UAE. Everything has been perfect, communication, efficiency and going beyond to help. Definitely recommend Macnabs.

We have been clients of Macnabs for many years, whether it be buying/selling homes, preparing Wills etc..... all members of staff have always been very professional and efficient in their work.... I would recommend Alan Roughead who has been working for us recently, he has taken time to give us the best advice.....they're fees are respectfully competitive.

Looking for a lawyer that cares? Continue looking elsewhere. We had booked an appointment for £500 before we’d even had an initial meeting. In this initial meeting, our “solicitor” didn’t read our email in regards to a Global Talent Visa, didn’t understand my partner’s profession, and didn’t outline any of the other criteria that we qualified for through the partner visa, and left us “High and dry” This is all now resolved through a new solicitor at a different practise, who described our claim as a “clear open and shut application” and provided us with templates for our application.

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We take feedback like this seriously and are concerned to hear that you did not feel the advice and service you received met your expectations. We are unable to comment on the details of individual matters publicly, but we would welcome the opportunity to look into your concerns further. Please contact us directly at enquiries@thorntons-law.co.uk so that we can review what happened and respond appropriately.

I used Thorntons for the purchase of my new home, and I wanted to leave a special mention for Iqra Qadir, who was genuinely brilliant throughout the whole process. Buying a house can be stressful, but Iqra made everything feel much more manageable. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and always kept me updated. Whenever I had a question, she responded clearly and quickly, and I always felt like I knew what was happening. She was professional without feeling impersonal and she was an absolute pleasure to work with!

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your wonderful review, Pablo. We are delighted to hear that Iqra made your home purchase a positive experience with clear communication and supportive guidance throughout. Your kind recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you every happiness in your new home.
