Tracey was knowledgeable and professional throughout the probate process. Following our family bereavement she handled all matters with care and sensitivity, explained everything clearly and kept us informed at every stage. Very pleased and grateful for everything she did to make things go smoothly for us.

Simply the best!

After losing our mum we had her property to deal with which resulted in a sale/purchase within the family. Katarina was so thoughtful of our situation and dealt with the transaction meticulously. She kept in touch at every point and made sure we were completely happy at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely use Katarina again. Thank you.

Andrea and everyone we dealt with at Lyons Bowe were kind, professional, communicative and very helpful. We wanted to create mirror wills through the Free Wills Network and Lyons Bowe were excellent to deal with throughout the process. Thank you for making something so important, so straightforward.

As part of the National Wills Network I asked Lyons Bowe to help me prepared my will. Although this didn't involve a huge amount, as my will was a simple one, I found the team to be really very pleasant and efficient and things were wrapped up very quickly after a meeting with Tazmin. Would highly recommend, the only thing I found slightly out of kilter with the service as a whole, was the initial contact which resulted in 8 emails one after the other, with appointment information, documentation, registration etc - it felt a bit much!

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the excellent way in which you handled the administration of my step aunt's estate. The matter was dealt with professionally, efficiently and with great care throughout. Your clear communication and attention to detail made what could have been a difficult process much easier, and I am very grateful for the support and guidance provided. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

Highly professional and supportive

I have been extremely pleased with the service I received throughout the process. From the very beginning, she provided clear, practical advice and was always supportive, professional and approachable. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly and make sure I understood my options, which made what was undoubtedly a difficult and stressful process feel much more manageable. I really appreciated how responsive and reassuring she was, while always maintaining a high level of professionalism. Her knowledge, attention to detail and genuine care for my situation really stood out. At the same time, she was friendly and easy to communicate with, which made a big difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and the firm to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable and compassionate family law support. I am very grateful for all the advice and support I received throughout the process.

Lucy provided me with excellent advice and support regarding my complex cohabitation and children matter. She was able to offer a practical solution in relation to a cohabitation agreement, while also being incredibly kind, understanding, and emotionally supportive throughout the process. I would highly recommend Lucy and Lyons Bowe to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and practical legal advice.

Making a difficult situation a lot easier.

I needed a solicitor for help with a financial consent order as part of my divorce. I had an initial video meeting with Lucie and then my paperwork and file were worked on by Harriet. They were both great and kept me updated with everything, if there was anything I didn’t understand, they would explain it for me and never made me feel uncomfortable for not knowing about something that might’ve seemed obvious to them. I was very overwhelmed by the legal process and they just made it a lot easier to deal with at a difficult time in my life.

Very good experience. I think they communicate very well and regularly. Are always genuinely patient and pleasant . I feel tiny window to be a little more proactive but without being there I can’t be certain. I would ask them to represent again . I think some unnecessary acceptance of requests from my buyers solicitor went unchallenged and led to further expense . But again I could be wrong .

Lyons Bowe have been great at assisting me and supporting me through my first ever purchase. With the process being very daunting for a first time buyer like me, they were always informing me of what was to come next and were brilliant in answering any questions I had. I would like to give a massive thank you to Holly, Marco, and Faine for all their help in getting me moved in and securing my first home for me. Thank you!

My experience of Lyons Bowe using them for the second time (first as a buyer) was mixed. Individuals within the company are extremely helpful, and I was particularly impressed with the administrative team and our completions worker Finn Erasmus. However, I would only recommend using them for a straightforward sale, and only if you are the seller. If you are buying and therefore need to take additional care to protect your interests, and if your sale is anything other than entirely straightforward, I would use a proper solicitor. Because of lack of qualifications and experience and because you don't have access to a qualified solicitor, the full advice needed was not available to us and a mistake was made which slowed things down. However, for a fast, straightforward and efficient sale, I would certainly recommend.
