Somerfield & Co Limited

We decided to sell our second home for a number of reasons, and chose Somerfield and Co as they had acted for us for the purchase a number of years ago. The property took a while to sell, but once a buyer had been found, Somerfield managed the conveyancing process with calm professionalism. Some minor challenges cropped up along the way, but Louise promptly dealt with the issues, and kept us fully informed. Always easy to contact, always responded promptly to any questions. Very happy with the service.

We have used the services of Somerfield & Co for over 15 years for all of our company legal matters. We have always been able to contact either Neil Somerfield or one of his team. We have received good advice and have every confidence in Somerfield & Co.

We have been dealing with Neil somerfield and his team during the last four years, for Litigation isssues, Commercial Property leasing arrangements, Commercial property sales conveyencing, and Residential conveyance, all with great results! Neil is most helpful and always responsive, whether it's occasional advice or explaining more complex matters! We appreciate the progress and results we've acheived with Neil and his team during this time. As we enter the New Year, we look forward to the continued partnership and results we've enjoyed!

I only became aware recently that you could review a solicitor in the same way you can review a saucepan you have bought from Amazon. Having read the reviews on Somerfield Solicitors, particularly from two clients who seemed less than satisfied, I felt impelled to write a review myself to inform others of my own, much more positive experience. I have been using Somerfield Solicitors for a number of years now, for a variety of personal and business matters and have been extremely satisfied with the service received and the outcomes achieved. Neil and his colleagues have “held” my hand through many situations and always spent the time to help me understand the complexities of the legal system and why some matters are dealt with in a more frustrating and complicated way than a layman would have approached a problem. The legal system can be clunky and idiosyncratic in the way matters need to be processed, particularly litigation, and Neil’s guidance through the system has been both supportive and lead to successful outcomes, which is why I will continue to use him and Somerfield Solicitors with confidence. No one is perfect, not even solicitors, but dealing with Somerfield Solicitors, has been in general nothing less than a positive experience. As a client I have always felt able to voice my point of view or question their recommended approach to a problem, even raising “ “ queries which are answered with respect (rather than putting me down) which has leaves me feeling that we work together as a team, to achieve the best outcome. Neil’s approach to problems has so far proved to be the right advice. It is the system that causes the problems, and in a current case he is dealing with at the moment for me, the other side who fail to grasp what has been explained very clearly to them by Neil. Both the system and other solicitors (& their clients) can make a case frustrating and unnecessarily complicated but Neil just gets his head down and does the very best he can for his client, while always keeping you in the loop. I sometimes feel that I am part of his office team, rather than the client. The only difference is that I pay him, rather than he pays me. I am sure however, that if you were a client who is less hands on than me, he would be able to communicate in the most appropriate way for them - it is just that I like to get involved. I am sure that he has many very satisfied clients, they have just not stumbled up this website to express their gratitude.

Neil Somerfield

Somerfield & Co were recommended 5 years ago by our solicitor of over 30 years who retired. We have employed Neil, and his colleagues on numerous matters from house conveyancing, commercial property matters, and litigation. We have always Somerfield & Co to be approachable, efficient and friendly. We have used Neil on two litigation matters, one which we won ‘hands down’ and a current complicated case which is due in court this year. We value Neil’s experience, advice, and his attention to detail. Indeed, we recommended Neil to a friend (we do not make recommendations likely) and we know they have been very pleased with the service. We recommend Somerfield & Co.
