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.

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.

First Time Experience
Due to a work place injury I sought legal representation and my whole experience from start to finish has been a positive one. Everyone that I have interacted with over the last 6 years has been kind, compassionate and treated me as a human being and not just "another client" Chris Loach has been a fantastic solicitor who has guided me and listened when this process had become all too stressful. Overall I would recommend this Solicitors firm to anyone who needs legal advice or representation going forward.

It was a pleasing experience, despite having to wait for almost a year from the day of the incident to the day of the damage payment.

Thoroughly impressed with the level of service I received from this firm during my claim after injuries sustained whilst In a car crash. No question went unanswered, I was always kept informed as to how my case was proceeding and we have reached a settlement after a year which I am pleased with. I will certainly recommend Mckeag and co to anybody who requires legal assistance. Many thanks again!

McKeag & Co took on my case from another solicitors. The case had been really messed up and I was in the balance of running out of time and loosing the claim. McKeag & Co knew the risks and took on my case. My solicitor Chris was so helpful, very polite, professional, explained everything at every step, informed me of any changes. I am pleased to say that McKeag & Co helped me settle my claim in less than a year. The previous solicitors took over 3 years and made a complete mess of everything. If you are concidering these solicitors I would highly recommend. Thank you so much for everything.

Probate and Conveyancing
The processes of acquiring Probate, Land Registry and Conveyancing were all carried out efficiently. Communication was excellent and articulated in an easy to understand manner, All staff were helpful; obviously it is not possible to deal with the same person at all times but they kept good records so that it was possible to discuss sensibly with whoever was available.

Chris and his team at McKeag and Co. dealt with the selling and buying for our recent move. We anticipated things might take a bit longer due to Covid, but the conveyancing team were proactive and quick with both their work on our behalf and their replies to our questions throughout. For competence, approachability, sensible advice and price we couldn't fault them. A five star team!

I write this review as a director of an estate agency and I can safely say we have a lot of experience with solicitor firms. Selling the property is the easy bit - sales progression is another matter and you need a trusted and quality firm in your corner. It's not about referral fees for us. We pride our own business in offering the very best service and in order to do that our 'go to' solicitor firm is Mckeags. Chris Thomson is highly knowledgeable and knows his stuff in all aspects of the field. We are based in Great Park and it has its fair share of conveyancing difficulties due to the nature of how things are set up when the estate was built plus being an ongoing development - when we sell a property here - we tell our clients you need Mckeags on the job (road adoption indemnities, sections agreement requests, management company info, deeds of variation, ancient rent charges - it all gets sorted out and when you use Chris for your sale your paperwork is rock solid). Solicitors do get very busy and there will be times when they are working through files however we can safely say that when needs must - we get answers and solutions very quickly. They have worked consistently through the covid pandemic where others have fallen apart. Sometimes getting a sale to go through can take longer than you hope however there are many influencing factors. We've never found Mckeags to be anything other than a necessity. Choose local and the fees are very reasonable.

We welcome your business and are extremely grateful of the recommendations you provide and the new clients you send our way. We look forward to hearing from you again. Kind regards McKeag & Co
