Just the person you need

Ann Ellery was amazing, after picking up my case at very short notice, I will admit to being slightly concerned. Ann totally understood my case from the start, picked up on every issue and ran with it! Ann went above and beyond, a cliche I know but very true
Thank you Ann, so much appreciated

Great service for my house sale

Ian Rhodes provided me with a great service at a reasonable price for selling a property. Everything was done efficiently and with a great sense of humour dealing with some very silly questions from the buyers side.

Terrible service, Zero compassion and financially obsessed. BEWARE

Enjoy the bit at the beginning, it goes downhill from there...

Thoroughly pleasant initially to get the money 'on account' but once they had it the pleasantries and charm quickly ended. It was quickly found again when demanding more money on the account which I simply accepted as I wished to get through the process ASAP - looking back I should instead have cancelled the service and gone elsewhere.

When I queried account breakdown they were rude and borderline obstructive and merely demanded further amounts of money to break down the bill further, which I regrettably paid once more in order to get through the process.

Ransom
With the final court document released by the court, the solicitor threatened to withhold it, despite the timelines issued by the judge as part of the court order until I had settled the remaining balance of a couple of hundred pounds. An attitude that was unwarranted considering we still had further business to complete, I hadn't ever missed a payment and more to the point, for much of the engagement I was in fact in credit - largely to support forward services and maintain legal momentum.

After spending tens of thousands of pounds on my final visit to the practice and now in need of two utility bills being verified, the practice owner, a rotund, red-faced chap spent all of two minutes stamping and signing the documents whilst eating some sort of pastry, open-mouthed before me. As quick as he had begun he had finished and immediately jutted his hand out to demand £40 cash for the service. In half-disbelief, I asked if I was to be charged for the service. The crumb-laden face retorted back "got to keep the wine cabinet topped up"! With a wry disbelieving smile, I gave the portly little chap his precious money and he immediately stuffed the £40 into his top shirt pocket. Clearly, the taste left in my mouth wasn't that of a fine Chianti and the latest performance merely cemented my view of the practice.

After walking out of the office, I got a hundred yards and then decided to go back and ask for a receipt, at which point I saw his face of disbelief. As his big round face turned even redder he muttered a few choice words under his breath as he scribbled his signature on a compliments slip (not even a proper receipt). Whilst I wouldn't be left with the taste of a fine wine, at least now the taxman would stand a chance of a drop... A petty exercise but indicative of my contempt for a poorly performing practice rich in arrogance and poor on manners...

The Irony...
Some four months later, I was amazed to receive a cheque through the post, it turns out, my account was actually in credit to the tune of over £200 all along... Simply speechless considering the ransom I had been held too. I guess it was time for that Chianti after all...

Sadly, many people that have to deal with solicitors do so at times of need. Do yourself a favour and save yourself further heartache and suffering by tasking somebody else. I certainly wish I had.

Cheers!

Excellent conveyance service

Having used this solicitor before I had no hesitation in using them again, having completed on the sale of my home today I found the process was pretty much hassle free , Mr Rhodes was always available for advice when needed and kept me fully informed throughout the process, I feel Griffith's & Co Salisbury offer a very efficient, professional and friendly service and good value for money.

Great Conveyancing Service

I have recently used Richard Griffiths and Co to carry out the conveyancing on a property I have just sold. From the initial contact to completion, I cannot fault their service. All of the team are friendly and knowledgeable and work closely with you to keep you updated every stage of the way. My personal solicitor was Amy and I was impressed with her professional, yet personal service. She really went above and beyond to get the sale processed as quickly as possible. I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. I would have no reservations in recommending Richard Griffiths & Co for anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a property. Thanks again!

Will Writing

Based on my experience I would not recommend using this company. It took 8 months to get mirror wills written for my wife and I - what should have been a very simple and straightforward process. The delay, excuses and abysmal communication in response to my repeated E mails was appalling. I was repeatedly having to chase them to secure any kind of progress and would not use them again under any circumstances.

Avoid in cases where common sense and intelligence are required.

I was called to an interview at the police station in New Milton so I made arrangements to have a solicitor meet me there. The case had the potential to become quite serious however the solicitor wasn't interested in talking outside the station and away from the police, which would have been watching and listening. Whether that evidence would be admissible is besides the point, I want someone that actually cares about my safety. I then proceeded to tell him about what had happened and explained how I could easily avoid some of the charges. When I asked him about the legality of these things he looked at me like I was talking another language. I literally had to explain the laws to him. Even then he wasn't convinced I would get away with it and wouldn't even entertain the idea that I was right.

As it turned out, I was exactly right, the main charges were dropped and I went to court on very minor issues. Since the solicitor was so convinced I would end up in crown court and ultimately prison, the guy they sent to Southampton magistrates had no idea what was going on and only thought he was turning up for technical reasons as the case would then be heard in crown court. I had to explain to him this wasn't the case and he would be defending me as it stood in magistrates court. He then had to go over all the details of the case there and then, delaying the court by almost an hour and having to apply for legal aid on a laptop that didn't work.

The whole experience was shambolic to say the least. The initial guy (Brian McMonnies) had no idea what he was doing and then the guy at court (R Tan) had no idea why he was there. They seem to believe anyone that gets in to trouble with the police must be moronic and incapable of complex thought. To have to explain the law to a solicitor is ridiculous.

I could go on at great length about all the issues I had with this company but I will leave it there.

Avoid if you care about your rights and freedoms being protected.

Excellent service

Neil Adams was available at fairly short notice at Christmas to advise on a problem which he did in a calm professional and friendly manner. He had researched our problem before meeting us and was able to advise us of the best way to proceed to enable us to reach an amicable solution. We would be pleased to use him again.
