Professional Will service

We want to share our thanks and appreciation to Kirsty Sowden at the Bingley office. Kirsty gave a 1st class service completing our Wills. She listened to our wishes, explained the process and legality clauses very clearly and efficiently put our Wills together. She was very efficient, professional and approachable. Thank you

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After more than two years working with Eatons, I can honestly say I couldn't have asked for a better team. From the very beginning, Talat and her team were exceptional. Talat wasn't just my solicitor—there were days she probably felt more like my therapist. I went through one of the most stressful periods of my life, and no matter how overwhelmed I felt, she always took the time to explain everything clearly, reassure me, and help me see a way forward. She never made me feel like just another client. She genuinely cared, and that made all the difference. I honestly don't think I could have got through this journey without her. The reception team also deserve so much credit. Every single interaction was met with a warm welcome, kindness, and professionalism. It's often the little things that make the biggest difference, and they consistently made me feel valued and supported. I also have to give a huge shout-out to Karen in Accounts, because I genuinely don't think she gets the recognition she deserves. No one looks forward to the monthly payment call, but Karen somehow managed to make every conversation pleasant. She was always kind, patient, caring, and happy to listen. If I ever had any concerns, she would do everything she could to help. She is an absolute credit to Eatons. When it came to the final stage of my case, I needed the conveyancing team to move things through quickly, and Geeta made it happen. Her efficiency and dedication meant everything at such an important time, and I'm incredibly grateful. Looking back over the last two years, I realise this wasn't just about receiving excellent legal advice. It was about having a team of genuinely compassionate, professional people who stood by me through one of the hardest chapters of my life. Every person I dealt with treated me with respect, patience, and kindness, and for that I will always be grateful. To Talat, Karen, Geeta, the reception team, and everyone else at Eatons who played a part in my journey—thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better, and I will never forget everything you have done for me. If you're looking for solicitors who combine exceptional legal expertise with genuine care and compassion, I cannot recommend Eatons highly enough. They don't just handle your case—they support you through it. Five stars simply don't feel like enough.

Eaton's came highly recommended to me from a close friend several years ago and I was most pleased with the standard of service provided then. Most recently, I engaged Eaton's once more to undertake the conveyancing of my late mother's property and cannot speak highly enough of the level of excellence and professionalism shown by all the staff I had cause to engage with. In particular, I offer my sincere thanks to Sanaa Naser, who managed the conveyancing from start to finish with commendable efficiency and a very client focused, responsive approach. Easy to speak with, concerned and empathetic, Sanaa made the experience a pleasure, if one can ever regard the process as such! I really could not have asked for more and would strongly recommend Eaton's to any prospective client requiring legal help or representation. Paul Tindall

Extremely disappointed with our experience with this firm, particularly with the way the manager, Michaela, spoke to us. My father had previously instructed this firm in relation to a property purchase. He paid £250 but later became unable to proceed due to a major change in his personal circumstances. He says he contacted the person dealing with his matter at the time, Asgar, my father explained that he could no longer continue with the purchase, and basically made it clear no further payments would be required. Years later, the situation had escalated considerably. More than £500 was ultimately taken from my father’s bank through court proceedings. My father maintains that he was unaware of those proceedings at the time because correspondence was going to an address where he was no longer living. Once we discovered what had happened, we arranged a meeting with the firm because we wanted an explanation and hoped the matter could be discussed professionally. Unfortunately, our experience with Michaela was extremely disappointing. we asked whether she was the owner. In my opinion, she appeared to hesitate and did not clearly explain her position until I asked whether she was the manager, at which point she confirmed that she was. Throughout the meeting, I found her manner rude, dismissive and lacking professionalism. When discussing the money being pursued, she made comments about her staff having to be paid for the work they had carried out. Given that we were there trying to understand how a £250 matter had resulted in more than £900 being taken through court proceedings, I found the attitude completely inappropriate. We were also told during the meeting that their own records showed a telephone conversation in 2023 in which my father had said that he had already paid £250 and was not paying anything further. Rather than feeling that our concerns were being properly listened to, we were met with comments about my father needing to change his mailing address and about staff needing to be paid. Regardless of who is ultimately legally correct about the disputed fees, there is a professional and respectful way to speak to clients dealing with a serious financial matter. In my opinion, that standard was not met during our meeting. I understand that a solicitor is entitled to pursue fees that they believe are legitimately owed, and I am not claiming that a Google review determines the legal dispute. I am reviewing how we were personally treated when we attended the firm to discuss it. Based on the attitude, communication and customer service we experienced from the manager, Michaela, I would not recommend this firm. Absolutely disgusting to scoff and practically mock it a bit, the ‘manager’ should know when being a busy person does not mean we will remember all the mails in existence to change addresses, we are all human, Michael needs some rework on her customer service skills and speech language!
