Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Nicola Conley at Downs Solicitors, Dorking
I cannot recommend Nicola Conley at Downs Solicitors highly enough. Throughout one of the most difficult times in my life, Nicola was absolutely fantastic. She not only fought tirelessly for me and my two daughters, but she genuinely cared about us and our situation. What made Nicola exceptional was her patience, compassion and determination. She took the time to listen, understand our circumstances and provide honest, clear advice. She was firm when she needed to be, which was exactly what I needed, but she also offered reassurance and support during some incredibly tough moments. I never felt like I was just another case. Nicola genuinely cared about the outcome for me and my daughters, and that meant more than words can express. She fought for us right until the very last minute and never lost sight of what mattered most. Having a solicitor who is not only excellent at what she does but also genuinely compassionate makes all the difference, especially when your children and your future are involved. I will always be grateful to Nicola for her dedication, strength, patience and unwavering support. She is an absolute credit to Downs Solicitors, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who will truly listen, care and fight for them. Thank you, Nicola, for everything you did for me and my girls and I know exactly where to go if I ever find myself in and situation like this (hopefully never) Thank you.

Engaged Downs to help with our house move, which was far from straightforward, and they were absolutely superb. Bill took point and was fantastic, though the whole team were excellent to deal with. Fantastic communication, went above and beyond to help us through so I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I used Liz Rose to sell a property in Maidenhead. I have never had such a smooth experience selling a property. She was so knowledgeable about everything I asked her about. She always kept me up to date with how the sale was progressing and nothing was too much trouble. It’s great to have such a personal touch. I would highly recommend her.

I engaged Downs Solicitors to provide a conveyancing service for my mothers house. Bronwyn Olivier and Liz Rose provided a very good service and the transaction was completed very smoothly. I had a few problems getting all the documents sent by e mail however I was able to deliver them directly to the office where the reception team were very friendly and even made me a cup of tea whilst they processed the documents.

Hi David. Many thanks leaving such a wonderful review. We’re really pleased to hear that Bronwyn, Liz and the team made the transaction as smooth and stress free as possible. We will pass your words on to the residential property team and of course our reception team too. Thank you again for leaving the review, it’s very much appreciated. The Downs Team.
