Searching for a solicitor?

I had the misfortune of being forced to use Irwin Mitchell, Leeds office to handle my will dispute. I was completely ripped off, they overcharged the insurance company and then overcharged me personally when they had spent all the insurance funds.

Especially keep we’ll clear of Irwin Mitchell Partner, Paula Myers. She can not be trusted and will always look at ways of getting extra fees instead of looking after her clients interests first, even doctoring invoices in her favour. I found her to be untrustworthy and very patronising. I would even go as far as to say the SRA need to investigate her behaviour as a solicitor, it’s a disgrace.

Their complaints system is farcical and the try to get colleagues to pretend to be independent and back up Paula Myers.

Whatever you do, look elsewhere for a solicitor.

I was impressed with how quickly I was assigned a solicitor to help me.

I received prompt, beneficial advice which helped me bring closure to my problem.

Would not hesitate in getting back in touch if need be.

Charged £28,000 to collect a £9,000 debt!!!!!!!
I engaged the company to collect a personal debt of approx £9,000. They actually ended up charging £28,000 to collect the debt. We won in court. Despite being told I should receive approx 75% of my costs, I was not awarded any costs.

The bottom line is there is no point going to court to collect debt. The only people who win are the solicitors. And there is certainly no point using Mincoffs their costs are totally out of proportion.

Ramsdens Solicitors were fantastic during our house sale/purchase. Jolene Briggs professional advise was invaluable throughout. Ramsdens were always on hand to help whenever we needed advise. The whole team were so helpful and I felt I should leave a review because house buying can be stressful, so to have a professional team to hand really can ease the pressure.

It's difficult enough going through probate.
Colemans were entirely unprofessional from start to finish.
- Poor advise
- Massive time delays between comms thus extending the whole process
- Denying comments they actually made in emails - obfuscation
- Took money from the estate to pay themselves without notifying us
- We decided to change firms and was essentially held to ransom over the Grant of Probate Cert.
Shocking experience. AVOID.
