I wished to update my Will and contacted Samuel Phillips Law firm with a view to expedite this. I was contacted quickly by Mr P Durham who was very pleasant, extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable and explained the process to update with very helpful advice in an easy to understand manner.
I received a draft will to check and all queries were answered quickly.
I met with Mr Durham at Samuel Phillips Law office, he explained very clearly everything regarding my will, the changes I asked for, and this was duly signed.
I have received via email, a copy of my Will, the registration certificate and letters pertaining to the matter.
Mr Durham made this a pleasant experience and what I thought might be difficult, with his help and advice was extremely easy.
I can only thank him for his help and advice in updating my Will to a satisfactory conclusion, giving me peace of mind that all is in place as I would wish.

Peter was extremely helpful in the making of our Wills. He was well equipped with knowledge and experience to assist us and answered any questions quickly and sufficiently. He was also very flexible with meeting with us at the firm's Sunderland branch. Could not recommend Peter and the team at Samuel Phillips Law enough. Good value for the service also.

I used Samuel Phillips Law Firm for their Family Law services, under the recommendation of a a friend who is also a solicitor.
Jenny took on my case, following the long term sickness of a colleague. She had quite a challenge on her hands taking on this case, due to my difficult opposing ex partner but she embraced the task and navigated me through the divorce and financial settlement with professionalism.
Jenny brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her role as well as a personable and friendly attitude. I prefer to speak on the telephone or face to face rather than by email and Jenny was very accommodating of this.
Thank you Jenny for your empathy and hard work.

We used Samuel Phillips for the conveyancing of our house, and communication was below what we expected. After a few weeks without any email, I called them for them to tell me they didn't receive anything. The contact email address provided on the quote was apparently the head of department address and we should've sent documents to another one (that we had to guess ourselves?).
After a bumpy start, I have to say it was pretty efficient (hence why 3 stars and not 1), but still had to call to get any emails or any updates.
It's a real shame the house sale fell through: they were getting faster and faster, and better at sending emails. So efficient indeed that we received the (not so cheap for what was done) bill in exactly 7 minutes!
I wouldn't recommend if you are unfamiliar with the process of buying a house or if you don't have time to call them to get things moving; but I can't honestly say they were useless either.

Just sold a property which turned into a challenge with numerous problems with the buyers, their mortgage and the Lease of the building, but Samuel Phillips managed to still complete the sale. Would use again and recommend.
