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.

Last Wills and Testament
Both my husband and I saw Emma to remake our wills. We were so very impressed with her professionalism and dept of knowledge, she making it clear where the boundaries of her guidance were, that we had full confidence. Emma was also personable and relatable. Emma also handled the Power of Attorney that I wanted in place. Therefore thanks for all, we now have been able to put that away and not worry.

As a first time buyer Natalie really helped me along the process keeping me informed. She was good at chasing the chain and kept me updated. We had a target completion date right from the word go and she managed to get things past the line right on track.

We were very satisfied with our dealings with Sampson Coward who we hired to settle our late parents estate. Our advisor dealt with all affairs in a timely, professional and efficient manner. Right from the get go her communication with us was excellent. Initially she graciously talked us through the process of Probate in order for us to reach a decision as to whether we wanted her to handle it for us or not. We had absolutely no doubt in our minds by the end of the conversation that she was the right person for us. We were not disappointed. We were kept informed at all stages of the process and our advisor was patient and kind in replying to our doubts and queries. Nothing was too much trouble. At an emotional time for ourselves we felt very fortunate to have found someone who has that all important human touch. We felt that the fees for the services were very reasonable, everything was clearly itemised and all predicted costs were explained in detail during our initial meeting. There were no hidden extras or unwelcome surprises. We could not recommended the service we were provided with more highly.

Excellent Service
I found Jane Pringle to be a very personable, efficient and helpful conveyancing solicitor and have no hesitation in recommended Sampson Coward for selling and/or purchasing a property. They stuck to the quote and were supportive throughout a very stressful time.

Professional Help Received from Sampson Coward LLP
The professional help I received from Jane Pringle and her assistant, Kelly Thomas, of Sampson Coward LLP was outstanding. She was efficient and professional throughout and responded immediately to any queries. She was reassuring and a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in instructing her again should an occasion arise.

Excellent quality, personal touch
In updating our wills we were guided so clearly through each of the complicated issues with their possible repercussions, and felt cared for as our individual preferences were explored and supported.

Jane Pringle and her team, especially Kelly Robertson, handled the recent sale of our property. They were efficient and constantly in touch keeping us informed of progress at every step of an exceptionally long and stressful process! I cannot rate them highly enough and would definitely recommend them without hesitation. They were absolutely wonderful and made a difficult process bearable. What an excellent team. Thank you.

Poor company to deal with, sent out supposedly legal letter to an unconfirmed email address without due diligence. Letter was unsigned and had no contact name as to whom is dealing with the case. Had to spend a length of time to ascertain if the company was legitimate and if someone was using them as a proxy. Did not reply to communication to a certain these points and eventually sent a further letter, this time with a named secretary. Letter had multiple errors, including spelling. For a law firm, they are very unprofessional. Probably ok if you're the client, but would not recommend any dealings with this company

Jane Pringle handled the conveyancing for both the sale of my property and the purchase of my new home, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From start to finish, she was approachable, highly efficient, and incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring everything progressed smoothly. She communicated clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and proactively addressed any issues that arose. Her professionalism and expertise made what can often be a stressful experience remarkably straightforward. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for a reliable, thorough, and client-focused solicitor for property transactions.
