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.

As joint executor of my late Aunty's,Will. It has been,a very lengthy process,achieving G.of P Oct 23.And still ongoing March 25. No blame attached to Charlotte C,whom I understand was as frustrated as myself Certain elements were out of our control,unfortunately .I now ,are awaiting the PA1P process result,fingers crossed,to become sole executor, as opposed to joint. I understand,things being against us,unfortunately. But myself and beneficiaries,are very ,very concerned of the final bill for services to Sweeney.Which no-one has actually stated,although was ready for distribution July 24?,This length of time must be far above the average
A representative from Sweeney Miller LLP responded to this review
Dear Ken. Please understand that we are as frustrated as you are in terms of the time this matter is taking to conclude due to the fact we are awaiting a second grant of probate which is lengthening the process and is outside of our control. We understand that you are in regular contact with the solicitor dealing with this matter, Sarah McColl and I suggest you speak to her directly in terms of your concerns in relation to billing. She can be contacted on 0345 900 5401 or by email sarah.mccoll@sweeneymiller.co.uk. Best wishes Sweeney Miller Law

I cannot recommend Stephanie, Lucy, Bethany and the rest of the staff at Sweeney Miller highly enough. They have all been extremely responsive and patient throughout the process and dealt with everything we required with thorough professionalism. I would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone requiring any kind of advice or legal service.

I had a great experience with Sweeney Miller, particularly with Kolshuma Begum, who handled my case throughout the process. Kolshuma was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how small or obvious they may have seemed. Communication was excellent, and I always felt informed and supported at every stage. Thank you so much for all of your help and support. I would highly recommend Kolshuma Begum and Sweeney Miller to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Lucy Bridge - A first time buyers dream We were recommend Sweeney Miller by our mortgage advisor and luckily we were assigned Lucy and Ethan. The buying process was so unbelievably stress free and that’s all down to Lucy’s incredible communication. Despite us being 2 hours away from her office, each document was sent promptly, questions answered within 24 hours and the exchange finalised within required time frame. A massive thank you to Lucy and her team for making the purchase of our first home a hassle free process. We wish you all the best with your training contract and hope to return to you for our next purchase. Thank you !!!

Thanks so much Kamile for taking the time to leave such a kind review for Lucy and Ethan. We wish you every happiness in your first home.

We had a great experience with Sweeney Miller! Big thanks to Chloe and Paige who kept us updated throughout, responded to queries almost immediately and also chased up other agents and solicitors in the chain for us. When things got complicated, we really felt like they were on our side and working really hard to get our sale through. We would definitely recommend to others!
