From the moment of contacting Eaton Smith, to enquire if I could appoint them as my solicitors for the sale of a woodland which I owned, I was reassured. They were helpful, personable and well informed. I got given an estimate of what the work would cost and I'm pleased to say that figure was kept to.
All staff involved were truly helpful and did their best to keep me informed at all times. Ian, Martha and Anne in particular, you outdid my expectations and I would and will happily retain your services f o r any future legal matters
Thank you all enormously for a happy ending.

I have recently had to attend court regarding a family matter and used Lindsay who has been absolutely amazing.
Lindsay got my case last minute and I could tell that she could really understand what had been going on, she was able to recall certain events during the court hearing, so I could tell she had studied my documents in fine detail. I felt very nervous before the hearing and wasn’t sure on the terminology that was used in court, but Lindsay made absolutely sure that she explained every single detail until I understood.
Lindsay also recommended some things that related to my order, so I took her advice and it was a positive outcome, she truly put me at ease.
If you are wanting a solicitor that goes above and beyond, and has true passion for their line of work, Lindsay is the solicitor you need!
A representative from Eaton Smith LLP responded to this review on 22 April, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Victoria. We're so glad to hear that Lindsay was able to support you throughout the process and provide such a positive outcome. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

If I could rate higher than 5 I would do, Jamie has been a life saver. He has been very pro-active, time efficient and his communication has been fantastic.
When we started working with Jamie our turnaround time was very quickly, Jamie was upfront about the process, pricing and turn around time assuring us that anything relating to his side of the work would be dealt with and we would only not meet it through things outside of our control. He was on hand to give me advise, keep me updated and went above and beyond on anything that we was not sure of.
I could say without hesitation, if and when I next need a solicitor I will only be using this man to help me through this process.
Thank you for everything you have done Jamie
Jamie Humpheson from Eaton Smith LLP responded to this review on 07 March, 2025:

Amazing from start to finish, I had the pleasure of dealing with James Johnson, who was highly professional throughout. He gave perfect advice and made the process easy. I didn't struggle to get answers, he managed to get me the best outcome possible and was fabulous to deal with. I highly recommend this firm of solicitors because of James and should I have the misfortune of requiring help in the future I wouldnt hesitate to come back. Hopefully not! But thankyou so much for everything you have done. You are top class. If I could give more stars I would.

I'm writing a review on behalf of my father, who recently engaged Matthew Dickenson in respect of a personal injury claim, related to the loss of teeth sustained in a workplace accident.
He has now had this claim resolved successfully by Matthew, who he found to be pleasant, informative and who kept him updated regularly and when required. He was pleased with the outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Yes PI Lawyers to others

My family are selling their long-standing business which is upsetting enough, and we have received an absolutely appalling service. The first solicitor did nothing and then left, and now the same seems to be happening with the second.
They supposedly pride themselves with keeping clients up to date, however my Father currently has no clue what’s happening months after what should have been a quick sale.
To Eaton Smith… as a company you have caused tears and upset which is absolutely unacceptable!!!

The mergers of two large Huddersfield based law firms, Eaton Smith & Downey and Marshall Mills & Sykes, in 1997, created a strong, modern, forward thinking Yorkshire law firm that has continued to grow and develop and whose large teams of solicitors and other legal advisors have been using their extensive experience to get results for both individuals and businesses for many years, throughout the region, across the UK and internationally.
