Outstanding service

Caroline Sherry worked extremely hard to help us secure our dream home. We had to put her under time pressure due to complications with our transaction and she was always available and responded promptly. She has good judgement, is very thorough and helped us get indemnifications against liability that didn't seem likely. Caroline was a pleasure to deal with, and I would recommend her to anybody.

Dear Sasha, Really glad to hear that Caroline was able to rise to the challenge and deliver such a thorough and dedicated service under pressure. It's great to know her judgement and persistence made such a difference in securing your dream home. Thank you for your recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Amazing representation for us

The representation myself and my son received was outstanding. From the very first phone call, I felt reassured and not alone. Sarah was thorough and clear about everything from minute one. Her professionalism, determination and dedication to our case have been wonderful all the way through. Sarah's genuineness and efficiency make her a pleasure to deal with. Sarah's responses were always prompt, I always knew where I stood due to everything being made clear and the billing side was always transparent. What could have been an entirely different experience was made far more bearable by really feeling that we had an friend on our side representing us with her extensive legal expertise. Sarah was always easy to contact and get a response from, I was never left waiting in the dark. We had the best possible outcome for our case, we are absolutely thrilled. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah Ward, she went above and beyond for us and was just beyond amazing, despite being so human and approachable at the same time.

We used Setfords solicitors to purchase a flat in London. Initial conversations went well, and the process started smoothly. However, over time, communication became much less efficient, and the solicitor made little effort to resolve outstanding issues with the seller. Whenever we asked for an update, they simply repeated the same email without providing any detailed information on the current status of the process. After working with us for four(!) months and presumably processing the documents, we were abruptly informed that, due to changes in the company’s insurance policy, they were dropping our case and would no longer represent us. We had to quickly find another solicitor, pay extra for urgency, transfer all the documents, and explain the delays to the seller, which were caused by Setfords’ actions. Regardless of the policy change, they should have checked this at the beginning, not after four months. As a result, we wasted months with Setfords, incurred unnecessary fees, and delayed the purchase, which nearly caused the chain to collapse.

At the outset, we were told to include all of the expenses incurred for our dispute. I supplied an abundant amount of information, with dates, regulatory laws broken and the general lead to researched litigation. C9mplete waste of time. The solicitor either didn't bother to respond or was so inexperienced that the case was way above their ego. The solicitor then left the company and I was never contacted to say so. An absolutely shambolic customer care department which I also believe is non-existent, and a complete lack of integrity. I DO NOT EX0ECT TO HAVE TO READ DRAFT LETTERS AND REPEATEDLY BRING UP 11+ GRAMMAR AND SPELLING MISTAKES. You will be better served by a no win no fee company.

Lili was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and wanted the best for us as first time buyers. I was able to contact her directly by telephone which was always extremely easy and she replied to my emails usually within the hour. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Service from start to finish

Richard guided me through a highly emotional issue with absolute grace, compassion and professionalism. He explained all the technical & legal jargon in terms I could easily understand He made sure I was well prepared and understood what was going to happen throughout the process. Thank you for your support and giving me peace of mind during such a difficult time.

Ongoing Court Case

I am currently still going through the court process for a driving offence but I cannot speak highly enough of Setfords in particular my solicitor Richard Hull. From Day 1 of speaking to him to where the process is now Richard has been clear, concise and most importantly reassuring about the whole process breaking down and explaining everything to me in detail at every step we get to. I have been an emotional wreck at times throughout and at all times Richard is a natural at calming me by simply explaining everything in a way I am able to understand and process. I still have a way to go but would absolutely not be who I am in this process if it wasn’t for Richard. I cannot recommend Setfords and Richard enough.

Peter and Tracy were fast and efficient and always available to answer questions during the sale of our home and subsequent acquisition of our new home, which had to be carried out quickly.

Phenomenal service by Virju Rach - really goes above and beyond and more importantly, closes tricky deals at lightning speed!

I cannot recommend Sonal Rabheru highly enough. From start to finish, she has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is professional, efficient, responsive, and always gets straight to the point. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, and I’ll happily admit that I can be quite demanding and like things pushed along as quickly as possible. Throughout the entire process, Sonal handled everything brilliantly, always remaining calm, proactive, and incredibly helpful. Her communication was excellent, her attention to detail was outstanding, and she consistently went above and beyond to keep matters moving forward. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. A huge thank you to Sonal for all her hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend both Sonal personally and Setfords to anyone looking for a first-class solicitor. Genuinely, after this experience, I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. Thank you again, Sonal.

A representative from Setfords Law responded to this review

25/06/2026

Dear Josh, What a glowing tribute. It's great to hear that Sonal was able to match your pace and keep everything moving so proactively throughout. Her calm and dedicated approach clearly made all the difference. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and recommendation! Kind regards, Setfords

Used Michael Compton for what should have been a very simple service for an extraordinary cost compared to others solicitors. I heard nothing from him for a month despite repeated chasing, no work was carried out on my behalf and he significantly delayed the process causing what was already a very stressful time, even more stressful. Avoid.
