    Excellent support, glad to have choose Chris Stevenson Solicitors to represent me

    I am so grateful for the outstanding support Hannah provided throughout my case. From our very first conversation, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Hannah took the time to fully understand my situation, explained every step clearly in plain English, and kept me regularly updated with honest, practical advice. Her attention to detail and proactive approach made a real difference, and thanks to her hard work we achieved an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, reassuring, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported during what could have been a stressful process. I couldn’t recommend Hannah and the team at Chris Stevenson Solicitors more highly – truly excellent service.

    Extremely disappointing service. Despite numerous emails and calls, I have had no response at all. The onboarding paperwork for my property was completed over a month ago, yet there has been no progress, and even the buyer’s solicitor is now chasing for the contract pack. Communication is completely lacking, which is unacceptable for something as time-sensitive as conveyancing. I would not recommend this firm.

    Sandra, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you are disappointed with the communication and progress on your matter. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your comments will be reviewed with the team.

    I used Chris Stevenson’s Solicitors for conveyancing on a property sale (sale late July 2025, completion 12 Dec 2025). Overall I was disappointed with the service. There was a slow start after the memorandum of sale and I had to chase repeatedly for updates and progress (a very high number of calls). Communication was inconsistent, it was often difficult to reach the person dealing with the file, and I didn’t have clear visibility of what was outstanding. I also experienced repeated requests for documents/confirmations and an issue with documents I provided not being located initially, which caused avoidable delay. During the transaction I was informed of a data protection-related issue involving another client’s information, which understandably reduced confidence. I’ve raised a formal complaint and requested a full chronology and resolution.

    from Chris Stevenson Solicitors

    Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback about your conveyancing experience. We're very sorry to hear that the service fell short of your expectations. Your account of repeated chasing, inconsistent communication, difficulties reaching the person handling your file, unclear visibility of outstanding actions, and problems locating documents is worrying and understandably frustrating. We take complaints and requests for a full chronology and resolution very seriously. we appreciate you raising a formal complaint; we will ensure your concerns are investigated thoroughly, that a clear timeline of events is compiled, and that appropriate steps are taken to address any failings and improve our processes. Thank you again for highlighting these matters and giving us the opportunity to put them right.

    As first-time buyers, the legal side of purchasing a home felt quite overwhelming, and I’ll admit I was a typical anxious first-time buyer with lots of questions. Throughout the entire process, the team were incredibly patient, reassuring, and supportive. A huge thank you to Oliver, Marzenna, and Shona, who were all fantastic to work with. They were always quick to respond, extremely professional, and consistently helpful, taking the time to explain things clearly and put our minds at ease. We felt well looked after from start to finish, and their efficiency and attention to detail made a stressful process so much smoother. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough, especially for first-time buyers.

      Calm, Professional and Reassuring Representation During Police Interview

      I was represented by Emma Burkinshaw during a police interview under caution. I found her to be calm, professional, clear and reassuring throughout what was a very stressful situation. Before the interview, Emma took time to understand the background, explain the process, and make sure I understood the legal position and the possible implications. She gave practical, balanced advice without being alarmist, and helped me approach the interview in a measured and sensible way. During the process, she was composed and supportive, and I felt that she properly understood both the immediate allegation and the wider context around it. Her advice helped me stay focused, factual and calm. I was very grateful for her representation and would recommend her to anyone needing clear and professional support in a police station setting.
