How Thompsons Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 99%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

A big thank you to everyone at Thompsons for making what I thought would be a struggle into a far easier experience than I could have ever imagined, wouldn’t hesitate to use Thompsons again, although I hope don’t find myself in such a position, thanks again and keep up the good work you are doing.

Great job

This review is for a different branch.

As a survivor of childhood trauma, I find it difficult to trust people. I also feel inadequate communication and being around other females. So I was a bit apprehensive when I started my journey with Emma, but with her professionalism, empathy and non judgemental attitude, and commitment, my journey was made easier and I did not feel the need at any time to put my protective barriers up. This leading to a positive outcome. I am now feeling for the first time in my adult life that the weights i have been carrying have been lifted from my shoulders. I believe that our journey would have turned out differently, if Emma did not have the qualities that she has. Thank you.

Hayden was very friendly and helpful from the start. My situation was of a very sensitive nature with my wife passing, and he and the team where nothing but helpful and positive. Explaining what processes have to be taken and rough time frames for each step. Communication throughout was excellent, I was kept informed and up to date at all times.

I am victim witness the service I received
Thomson solicitors was absolutely shocking .
Personal injury case is at courts . Was told
There was no merit in my case this was
Based without seeing medical evidence
In the case. The case is at the courts if there was no merit in the case this would not be at the court. . I would advise anyone looking personal injury solicitor to
Go to another firm. Service at Thompson
Solicitor was below par ..

You just need read there reviews

Absolutely shocking service trauma victim

Fact

It’s up to judge to decide if there is merit
In case not Thomson solicitors

If I could rate this firm no stars I would

Left me waiting months after sending them pictures emails etc. when they finally got back in touch to tell me they weren't going to do anything, they didn't even know my name. Unless you can make them big bucks with no effort, you're on your own.
