How Best Solicitors Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 95%
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.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Best Solicitors on ReviewSolicitors.

  • 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.

Underpriced 0%

Aptly named, fabulous service!

From the moment I entered the Sheffield office to submit my ID documents I was impressed by the friendly welcome, and the consideration and efficiency of Brogan Ward. Each part of the land transfer process was clearly explained, the documents were emailed to me quickly and updates were given regularly. It was really refreshing to feel confident about the legal side being taken care of for me with such expertise. I’m very grateful to Brogan for the care with which she handled this work and I’d definitely go back to Best Solicitors in the future.

Helping with probate

Losing someone close is never good and always very painful but Alison and Emma from the probate team at Best Solicitors did everything they could to help me get through a very rough time. They had their work cut out from the start to finish as things were not straight forward. From finding my late dad's will, to sorting probate and also communicating with a "very un-cooperative " building society. They kept me in the loop as much they could. Would recommend Alison and Emma to anyone who is in need of their services

Dedicated

Elizabeth Harris and Ian Osborn have supported our family business with a range of complex property matters. Having worked with Liz for many years and Ian more recently, we can honestly say that we couldn't ask for more dedicated legal representatives. Despite the complex nature of some of the deals we have worked on, they both provide sound commercial advice, a dogged determination to get things done and above all a good sense of humour. We would also like to put in a special mention for Brogan Ward who diligently supports Ian and Liz behind the scenes. We would wholeheartedly recommend them on any and all property matters.

Excellent service from the Best Solicitors, Sheffield team

My family law case was very upsetting and stressful for myself but thanks to the help, professionalism, guidance and empathy from Alison and Billie, it was settled and I'm very grateful to them for the outcome.
I highly recommend Best Solicitors and wouldn't hesitate to us them again if required.

I simply cannot recommend Best Solicitors enough!

Chloe and her team worked tirelessly to get our property sold and completed in a very short time scale. The overall response times and levels of communication to keep us informed of every step in the process have been excellent.

Thanks guys, you are, if you pardon the pun...."Simply the BEST"!

House sale

Kerrie was recommended to me by a very good friend and she was absolutely brilliant from day one.
Any problems I had she ran through them with me in layman’s terms which I think sometimes solicitors forget to do, no jargon with Kerrie, what you see is what you get.
Anyway she sorted everything out for me and saved me some money in the process so what’s not to like?!!
Thanks Kerrie and I’ll definitely be recommending you.

We used Best Solicitors for the sale of an existing property and the purchase of a new property. The team (notably Chloe) were extremely quick to respond to our emails/calls throughout the process and helped ensure we hit challenging deadlines.

Highly recommend using Best Solicitors for conveyancing. Efficient fast service, Mariam kept in touch every step of the way and contacted me immediately for any issues. The whole sale has gone though in less than 8 weeks which is fantastic. Would use again, 5 star service .

About this branch

Description

The truth is solicitors are normal people. We’re frustrated and delighted by the same things as you. The perception that solicitors are distant and difficult only prevents the most vulnerable people from seeking help – and that injustice troubles me deeply.
