    Avoid at all costs

    This has been the most unprofessional organisation I have ever encountered. Their handling of arrangements following my father’s passing made an already difficult time significantly more distressing. Calls went unreturned, emails unanswered, and commitments repeatedly broken. The overall service was disorganised and deeply disappointing. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company.

    Dear Mr Cooper, we are extremely sorry you have been moved to write a negative review. While it is unlikely to placate you, we must provide some context in order to defend the reputation of our firm and our Private Client team in particular. Without wishing to disclose the exact nature of your contact with us, we can say the process was lengthy, involved family members, and was at times contentious. While we understand you must have felt very frustrated, we are satisfied we conducted the matter with the care and attention demanded.

    Not a Good Experience

    Overall I had a poor experience with KWW Solicitors. After sorting out a probate for me (complete, albeit a little slowly), KWW took on the administration of my mother's estate. This is where everything went badly, with no communication from KWW to me for several months after completion of the probate. I tried to contact them several time via phone messages and emails, with no replies. After several weeks of trying, I escalated to the partner and was promised that my matter would be sorted out. After another two weeks of nothing from KWW, I asked them to close my case and send everything back to me. I have since manage the adminstration of the estate myself.

    A representative from KWW responded to this review

    Dear Mr Kamerkar, we were very sorry to see your negative feedback on ReviewSolicitors. We can only apologise for a level of service which was not up to our usual high standards. While it is no way offered as a defence, it is a great shame you engaged us during a period of significant internal disruption due to changes in personnel which led to gaps in our paralegal support and a compromised level of communication. We hope there will be an opportunity in the future for us to restore the confidence that led you to KWW Solicitors in the first place.

    Probate

    Over the last two years KWW have handled the Probate of my late Mother. It was a rollercoaster of unexpected obstacles. I was pleased that I had KWW to help me through the process. Jack Haskew gave me a good overview at the start of the process. Thereafter the day to day stuff was handled by legal assistants and overseen by Jack. The people I dealt with were always polite helpful and professional. The last assistant who helped me for over a year was Victoria Allum. Victoria was very organised, diligent and accurate in her work. We have just finallised the process and I have been very pleased with the service I received from KWW.

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

    KWW Solicitors have been our family solicitors for many years. Firstly we worked with Karen Starkey but after her departure, and recently, we received a consultation with Jack Haskew. Jack gave us fantastic legal advice on a situation which seemed really complicated to us. With his legal expertise Jack gave me direction and created a road map to remedy our situation. I can say that the one hour consultation we had allowed me to breath after possibly a year of not breathing. I would certainly recommend Jack Haskew and KWW Solicitors.

    I called to find out if a will was registered. Jack went above and beyond to help me looking through all the archives despite me not being a client. He was very friendly,helpful and also offered advice on my options. Would definitely use them for any legal matters that may arise.

    Sorry for our delayed expression of thanks, Natasha. Jack has since moved on but the KWW service ethic carries on with Karen Starkey and her team for Wills, probate and lasting powers of attorney.

      We have worked with Enza Sole before, and once again she made what can be a stressful process smooth and straightforward. She is professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly thorough, handling every detail efficiently. Her clear communication and proactive approach kept everything on track and gave us confidence throughout. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and supportive solicitor.

      I've used KWW solicitors a couple of times, previously buying my house, and more recently selling my flat. Enza and Anpusa acted for my flat sale, and Salv helped with the lease extension side. Overall I'm pleased with the service I received, particularly in the later stages when we got close to completion. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. It's easy to get hold of KWW over the phone too, which is always good. They were very helpful whenever I had questions and made what became quite a stressful process feel better. Most importantly, I was very happy with the final outcome (completing on the sale) and would have no hesitation in recommending them as they clearly worked hard to get this over the line. Thanks!

      I have had two interactions with this company over a number of years and both have been rude, arrogant and dishonest. The first was when I swore an affidavit and the solicitor was intent on pocketing the fees without producing a receipt. I eventually had to return to the premises and refuse to leave until it was handed over. The second was litigation where the solicitor broke a number of code of practice guidelines. I would never use this firm for anything and if you chose to I would ensure that you get a full breakdown and justification for every penny spent and ensure that they respect all the laws and guidelines required of their profession. You are instructing them so the buck stops with you.

      We will be seeking to have this scurrilous review removed.
