Very supportive, precise and really grounded.

I have recently gone through a turbulent divorce and the team particularly Sophie at Amicus Law have been invaluable. Very knowledgeable and precise with actions, outcomes and negotiations with settlement outside of a court. As this can be an extremely difficult time, she has always supported me and assisted in the navigation of the end result, to achieve best for all parties working professionally with other legal professionals with moments of disagreements. Navigating this with me to achieve the end result. Now I have the opportunity to move on, finalising the divorce with gratitude to rebuild my home, life and have a stable footing my children’s future and my own. Thank you to Sophie and the team. I would highly recommend for a quick and effective service for the challenges that life presents to us all.

Horrific Experience

An absolutely awful experience with Tamara that made us stop using Amicus Law and move to another solicitor when buying our house.

Having had a call from Tamara and her shouting down the phone at me and not letting me get a word in regarding a matter that had previously come to light when we first purchased our property. Tamara reduced me to tears and then continued to shout at my husband put the phone down on him and then blame my husband. When asked for the recording of the call it could not be found! Surprise surprise.

If you are looking to use a solicitor give Amicus Law a miss unless you like to be verbally abused.

Excellent conveyancing experience

This review is for a different branch.

My experience with Amicus Law was excellent throughout. Despite being incredibly busy, Julie, Marie and JoJo were on top of my case and proactive in chasing the other side. Any questions I had were answered very quickly. When my solicitor wasn’t available, I was made aware well ahead of time and another solicitor was well informed. It was great to have direct contact with my solicitor. Everyone I spoke to at Amicus Law was extremely helpful and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm. Many thanks again.

Executors of deceased estate issues

This review is for a different branch.

Dealing with the estate of a deceased member of the family is emotionally draining at the best of times - Nick Bevan, Katriona Lovelock have been great in helping us deal with the potential pitfalls of beneficiaries. In addition the teams of Vicky, Rebecca. Heidi have proved knowledgeable and helpful along the way.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Amacus Solicitors for the sale of both our properties, and we couldn’t be more impressed with their exceptional service. We mainly dealt with Paul Foster, who was absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process. Paul was consistently professional, approachable, and went above and beyond to keep things moving efficiently. We also had the pleasure of working with Bill Osborne, who made sure we were looked after at every stage.

The process took around nine months, but Amacus were incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. We found ourselves in regular weekly contact with Paul and Bill, and their level of communication was far superior to that of our estate agents. They truly did everything in their power to ensure that both the sale of our properties and the purchase of our new one progressed as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We highly recommend Amacus Solicitors and can’t thank Paul, Bill, and the team enough for all their hard work. If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and dedicated solicitors, look no further.
5 stars all the way 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We’re grateful for your recommendation and the 5 stars! Should you need any assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. It was a pleasure working with you both!
