Wills, Trusts & Probate

Excellent

We needed new Wills drafting up due to various changes. Rubi was very patient and professional throughout the whole process. I felt as though I could ask questions and she took into consideration our own personal circumstances when drafting the Wills and for the face to face appointments.

Medical Negligence Claim

I found McKeag & Co through searching for a Solicitor via the web and I honestly couldn't have been more grateful to them. A big thanks to Lisa for leading my claim to a decent end. She was extremely professional & very patient with me when I was constantly asking her to explain what was happening with my claim. She would explain every step in a way that made me understand fully what was going on. Swift communication back & forth between the both of us. Couldn't ask for a better service. A big thanks to Jen also for her part in the final aspect of my claim. I highly recommend McKeag & Co. Many thanks, Maxine.

A representative from Mckeag & Co Solicitors LLP responded to this review

We are very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service provided to you in relation to your potential clinical negligence claim. As advised, clinical negligence claims can be very lengthy and complex, therefore we must review the prospects of success at each stage to ensure that we are able to continue under a no win, no fee agreement. We were formally instructed to investigate your potential claim on 30 January 2024 and you provided us with details of your care providers on 27 February 2024. Your claim was then reviewed by two senior members of our team and further information was requested from you to fully assess your claim. On 2 August 2024 you advised that you were unable to provide all of the requested documentation and as such, a decision was made to apply for your medical records to assist with our investigations. Your completed forms of authority were received on 16 October 2024 and records were applied for the following day, 17 October 2024. A full copy of your records was received and reviewed, again by a senior member of our team and it was noted that numerous entries referred to your failure to engage with health services and non – attendance at appointments. As such we regretfully concluded that the prospects of success fell below 50% and that we were unable to proceed with your claim. At no point during your claim have we requested any payment from you and a review of your file shows that regular updates were provided to you at each stage of the claim. We appreciate that we could not reach the outcome that you hoped for and that this will be disappointing to you but regretfully, following investigations and medical research, we concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support your allegations of clinical negligence.

claim for damages - dealt with very well

McKeag & Co Solicitors acted for me on a compensation claim, they dealt with if very professionally and kept me updated as often as possible. These things take time but they pushed things along as much as they could. All the staff very helpful and approachable. Highly recommended!

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.

Catherine, many thanks for the glowing review. We too take pride in offering the best service we can and are thrilled we can help your business do the same. Chris and his team always go above and beyond to provide an outstanding service to all of their clients and we are proud of the service levels they sustained during the Covid lockdowns. 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
