I can never thank Elizabeth enough for saving my family during the most difficult and traumatic time of my life. Navigating a high-conflict court process involving coercive control—while facing intense personal hardships alongside the litigation—was completely overwhelming. Elizabeth was more than just an exceptional legal expert; she was an absolute shield for us. She fiercely protected my child’s independent voice, stood firm against every manipulation, and secured the 'Lives With' order that finally gave my child their safety and peace back. She is sharp, deeply compassionate, and worth every single penny. If you need a solicitor who will truly fight for your child's future, she is the best there is.

Having had some not so good experiences recently with a legal firm it was so refreshing to have a wonderfully professional, pro-active and responsive servcie from Emily and I cant thank her enough. She managed the conveyancing throughout and removed so much stress from me and my sister. Thank you Emily!

Emily was a great conveyancing solicitor for the purchase of our property. She was very communicative, responded in great detail, and helped find solutions. I’d happy recommend her and would definitely want to use her services again in the future.

Very unhappy to receive a bill above what was estimated for my case, two weeks after the case was closed. At no point during the process was I notified that the number of hours would be increased from the estimated and I only found out upon receiving the bill. All I can say is that the timekeeping on jobs is either not tracked properly, or this is a way to make a bit of extra money and then point to the small print. I would never have gotten away with whacking my clients with an unexpected bill, having not given them notification at the time that hours spent on the job were going over the original estimate quoted. Very disappointed and upset with the lack of communication, I feel like I’ve been played here and have no choice but to find the money to pay for something I had no idea I was being charged for. Who operates like this?! Edit, in response to Ellison's reply: I am not disputing that the case may have required more time than you originally quoted. I am shocked that I wasn't notified at the time and only found out 2 weeks later when the bill was sent to me. If notified at the time, this could have been agreed and covered by the other party yet now I am out of pocket at the end of a very stressful experience. I've been told by your colleague that this is being looked into further following a phone call.
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We are committed to providing clear information regarding the scope of our services and the basis of our charges, both of which are set out in our retainer documentation. As our professional obligations of confidentiality prevent us from discussing the details of any individual matter in a public forum, we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns directly. Should you wish to do so, please do not hesitate to contact us.
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.
