My wife and I had our Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney prepared by Amy and her team, and we highly recommend Ellisons as a go-to law firm for wills, LPAs and inheritance tax advice. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain each step of the will writing and Lasting Power of Attorney process and providing helpful guidance on inheritance tax planning. The entire experience was professional, efficient and incredibly smooth from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ellisons to anyone looking for reliable solicitors for wills, inheritance tax advice and LPAs.

A really poor service for business, no attention to detail and no clear communication. I was embarrassed for them after having to deal with their litigation team, who wasted our time and their own client’s. Despite being one of the largest firms in the region, they don’t even make it into the top 5 in East Anglia: it’s clear to see why. I instructed out around £300,000 of legal work last year and none of went to Ellisons: for good reason.

Dear Stephen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to read your comments, though we note that you are not a recent client of Ellisons.

Guidance, Support and best way for graduate route suggested by Meenal Goyal

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Meenal Goyal for her outstanding support throughout my visa application process. From the beginning, she was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. Meenal is an excellent listener who took the time to understand my situation and answer all of my questions patiently. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication gave me confidence throughout the process. She worked diligently on my application and kept me informed at every stage. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my graduate route was successfully granted. I truly appreciate all the effort she put into my case and would highly recommend Meenal Goyal to anyone seeking immigration or visa assistance. Thank you Ellison for your excellent service and support.

0 Stars isn't an option. Absolutely dreadful - did not perform the task they were paid to do then ran up billable hours on things I hadn't approved. Funds on account was used up on pointless tasks (that I'd already paid someone else to do) and successfully wasted 6 months on a time sensitive matter. Asked for justification of billing and was told in was in her (Lauren's) notes but were unable/willing to provide anything that would be considered "legally admissible" to support this - I was asked to attend a meeting but the requestee didn't turn up; I was asked to communicate through a specific email address but never received a response, instead their comm's came from a different address that i didn't know about and hadn't approved into my inbox. They are obliged to work in the best interest of the client but I have nothing that supports this. Avoid at all costs. Matter now with the Legal Ombudsman and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

We are sorry to read your comments. This matter has been thoroughly reviewed through our formal complaints process, including independent assessment. As a regulated firm, we take all concerns seriously and follow established procedures to ensure they are addressed fairly.

My brother and I can't thank Shah enough for seeing our late father's probate sale through to completion. He was patient, efficient and always on point, ensuring we were always ahead of the game. No matter how many obstacles our buyers solicitors put in the way, Shah's wealth of experience shone through. Ellisons not only dealt with the sale, but their Private Client team also handled the probate in a very timely and efficient manner. Great service all round.
