Quick Excellent Service

I emailed Laura and she got back to me really quickly with expected costs and timeframe. I booked an appointment and I have to say Laura was amazing explaining my agreement in detail and the reasons for the amendments she was making. I had 100% confidence that Laura was going to do her best for me. Laura made the whole process quick and relatively painless. Thank you Laura.

Back in 2018 we used Beswicks to carry out the sale of our property, which went smoothly. So we felt confident approaching them with a more serious issue we were suffering, harassment from a neighbour. Beswicks allocated us a solicitor who they felt suited this situation, and we had a meeting and PAID them £180 for her expert advice. Unfortunately this professional solicitor missed the fact that our main piece of evidence wasn’t sufficient, and even though our whole case was based on this, she told us we had a good case. We pressed it home with them what our budget was and how we were funding it, which she agreed the budget was sufficient. The work carried out by the solicitor and her assistant was lazy at best, failing to gather any further evidence or present the case how we wanted. She went on to give further bad advice during the lead up to court. Our court case got adjourned due to Covid in June 2020, and the firm are still trying to charge us the full £3000 barrister fees for not even attending court. When the barrister got involved in the case, Beswicks attitude towards the case changed (as we believe the barrister had noticed the evidence our case relied on wasn’t what we were previously told) and we were told the case was bound to fail after they invoiced double our original budget. After complaining about the service received, Beswicks stopped the retainer no longer representing us, without actually making it to court. The case eventually made it to court, and failed on 2 things that Beswicks had failed to correctly/professionally advise on, costing us a further £14,000. After a few letters between us, Beswicks broke contact….for 12 months when they suddenly through a massively inflated bill with a years worth of interest and contractual costs added to it. Beswicks have already had £7500 out of us for a case that shouldn’t of happened, and are now pursuing court action for the sum of £39,389. 10x our original budget, and probably pushing my family into bankruptcy. This whole experience has already cost us £20,500 and with the money Beswicks are pursuing it will be £59,889 for a case that wouldn’t have even started if Beswicks had provided the correct legal advice. If their experienced solicitor had noticed our evidence could never of been relied upon they wouldn’t have had more than the original £180. From recent experiences there are 2 types of solicitors, ones who genuinely want to help. And the ones who see £££ and want to get their share of the pot. I’ll let you decided which one Beswicks Legal are….. The effect this has had on our family’s mental health is enough to push many people over the edge

A representative from Beswicks Legal responded to this review

Thank you for your review. As you are aware, this matter is currently in litigation with the final court trial scheduled for 25 January 2024. We cannot, therefore, comment further until the trial has taken place.

Laura Franklin recently helped me with an employment matter and was exceptional throughout. Her communication was first rate, her empathy much appreciated, and most of all her professional advice in a very challenging situation was exemplary. Finally she then went the extra mile post formally closing the engagement, which not only human rather than corporate, has guaranteed I will come back for my future needs without question.

Could not be happier

Melissa has dealt with a couple of property related matters for me and I could not have been happier. She was extremely efficient and professional at all times. She was patient throughout with both myself and the other solicitors involved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melissa for any residential property sale or purchase. Thank you, Melissa!

10/10 SERVICE

I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she has done for my daughter and me. This has been a long, exhausting, and emotional journey, and throughout it all Sarah has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and unwavering support. From the very beginning, she listened to me, believed me, and made me feel truly heard when I needed it most. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Whenever I had concerns or questions, she was able to explain things clearly, provide reassurance, and guide me in the right direction. Knowing that someone so experienced was supporting us made an enormous difference during such a difficult time. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future would hold, but Sarah was always there to offer reassurance, guidance, and understanding. Her patience, genuine care, and dedication helped me navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life with confidence and hope. Because of Sarah's support, my daughter and I can finally move forward with our lives and focus on building a happy future together. The positive impact she has had on our lives is something I will never forget. Sarah goes above and beyond for the people she supports, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side throughout this process. Her dedication, empathy, expertise, and commitment have made a life-changing difference for our family. Thank you, Sarah, for believing in me, supporting us every step of the way, and helping us reach this point. I will always be grateful for everything you have done, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who needs support, guidance, and someone who genuinely cares.

I instructed Sarah Abbotts of Beswicks Legal to represent me during a very acrimonious divorce from my former husband. From the very first meeting, Sarah was kind, understanding, and incredibly supportive, and she took the time to guide me through each stage of the process in a way that made everything feel far less overwhelming. Throughout the case, Sarah was always professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out most was the genuine support she gave me during such a difficult time. At trial I secured a favourable outcome, and I do not believe I would have achieved the same result without Sarah representing me. Thank you, Sarah, you made an incredibly stressful and emotional period much easier to get through.

commercial land purchase

My company JRB Construction Ltd purchased some commercial land and we used Beswick's as our legal representative. I would personally like to thank Laura Pyatt for her professional approach to what was an award purchase. Laura was always on hand to deal with any situation and assist me where required. also I would like to thank Alex Bradbury who stepped in to support JRB in Laura's absence. A job well done and I will certainly recommend and use Beswick's Legal in the future.

We recently used Beswicks for our property sale and purchase. Right from the initial stages, Afy and the team provided an outstanding service. Afy kept us up to date at all times, always on hand to take a call, ensuring we understood every stage. We hit a few issues along the way but Afy handled them as quickly and calmly as possible, ensuring what can be a very stressful time, was made more manageable and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Beswicks team.

We experienced a great deal of problems on the sale of our house and the purchase of our new one and Afy was brilliant, guiding us carefully through and helping us to complete the process as easily as possible, dealing with Historic Register and our builders on highly contentious issues. At times it became quite stressful and he made sure we were looked after properly. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

We used Beswicks for the purchase of our first home, and Jaeda and the team were fantastic. They were quick to respond to any queries, kept us informed throughout the process, and explained everything clearly. We couldn’t have asked for better support, and we’ll definitely return if we need their services in the future!
