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.

Incredible service, communication and results!
Me and my partner have recently bought our first home and were very nervous about the legal process side of things specifically. However, all our concerns were put to bed in record time through Leah's exceptional communication from start to finish! She was always on the other end of the phone, replied to emails in great time and worked so hard things done as soon as possible! I can not recommend Leah enough and she is a credit to her profession!

Heartfelt thanks
There are not enough superlatives to commend Leah Jakeman for her help, patience, understanding and most importantly her continuous hard work in dealing with both the sale and purchase of my properties. She is a fantastic asset to Apex Law who should truly be recognized as such! It has been a real privilege and pleasure working with her! I extend my best wishes to Leah for the future and would highly recommend her as she is simply brilliant in her occupation!

Thank you Doris for sharing your feedback. It is great to hear how much Leah supported you during both your sale and purchase. Her patience, dedication and hard work are a real credit to Apex Law. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

1st time buyer experience ruined
If i could leave 0 stars i would. Awful communication, they kept making mistakes but couldnt get them on the phone, extremely unprofessional and rude demeanour. Had my case transferred to another solicitor and it made no difference. I had no chain and completion still took 8 months because of them, my seller almost pulled out. I made a formal complaint with them in February and still have nothing from them. AVOID THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR MONEY.

We firstly used APEX law Crayford for our sale and potential purchase. Kelly, Sofia and Gemma were all amazing through out both processes. Their dedication, attention to detail, and communication made me and my husband feel 100% reassured throughout. We unfortunately encountered some difficulties with a previous potential purchase. Kelly's thoroughness and honesty during this time provided the clarity we needed to make the right decision. As we were so impressed, we decided to use Apex Law again (even though they were no longer local) for our next purchase, and again I couldn't be happier about my experience. I highly recommend Apex Law Crayford.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Our team works hard to deliver a high standard of service, and your feedback is very much appreciated.

Apex Law were incredible with our house sale/purchase. It went through at record speed and when it came down to the wire Shelsea pulled out every stop to get it over the line for us. They’ve set the bar extremely high with their level of service and support. Thank you!

We recently used Apex Law in Crayford for the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, Kelly, Gemma, and Sofia were absolutely fantastic — professional, efficient, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. The whole process was handled smoothly and with great attention to detail, even when things got a little stressful on the moving side. They kept us fully informed throughout, explained everything clearly, and went above and beyond to ensure both transactions completed without a hitch. It was such a relief to have a team who were approachable, proactive, and genuinely cared about helping us move into our new home. We can’t thank Kelly, Gemma, and Sofia enough for all their hard work — we’d highly recommend Apex Law Crayford to anyone buying or selling a property

As a first-time buyer, I was nervous about the whole process of purchasing a home, but Apex Law made everything so much easier and less stressful. From the very beginning, they were friendly, professional, and always happy to explain things in plain English. Communication was spot on — I was kept updated throughout and never felt like I was left in the dark. They were quick to respond to emails and calls, and their attention to detail gave me real confidence that everything was being handled properly. There were a few bumps along the way with the seller’s side, but Apex Law was on top of it and made sure everything kept moving. Their calm and proactive approach made a big difference. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're buying your first home and feeling overwhelmed, I highly recommend Apex Law. They made a daunting process feel manageable and even enjoyable.

The whole transaction has been delayed due to Ismail being IMPOSSIBLE to reach and not responding to emails or phone calls. This lack of communication is causing so much stress and upset, and is making it extremely difficult for the solicitors in the chain who are trying to keep everything moving forward.
Thank you for your review. We cannot trace that you are a client of ours nor that you have raised any formal complaint to any of the directors. We are therefore not able to comment further on your review, validate that this is a true and factual review of our firm nor seek to resolve the issue. Perhaps you would like to reach out to one of the directors to discuss this matter further.

I have waited nearly 2 weeks for letter about there fees still haven't got it they don't call you you have to call them and they don't tell you what's going on and the service is not good at all. I will never use this service again.

Avoid Kelly Stewart rude and unprofessional. Hardly spoke to her and she was the solicitor dealing with us. Had to constantly chase and when we did speak to her she was arrogant and obnoxious.
