Horrific Experience

An absolutely awful experience with Tamara that made us stop using Amicus Law and move to another solicitor when buying our house.

Having had a call from Tamara and her shouting down the phone at me and not letting me get a word in regarding a matter that had previously come to light when we first purchased our property. Tamara reduced me to tears and then continued to shout at my husband put the phone down on him and then blame my husband. When asked for the recording of the call it could not be found! Surprise surprise.

If you are looking to use a solicitor give Amicus Law a miss unless you like to be verbally abused.

Advice on aircraft maintenance negligence

This review is for a different branch.

I would like to thank Mr Nicholas Bevan personally for the legal advice given to me on the 2nd and 3rd instant in respect of action which will be necessary to recoup my losses against an aircraft engineering company who carried out the overhaul of my Piper aircraft. The engine was fitted with parts from a crashed aircraft as part of the expensive overhaul.
Mr Bevan not only spent over 40 mins on the telephone discussing the case, understanding the problem immediately and offering advice as to the way forward for legal proceedings. His telephone conversation was followed up by 2 emails detailing what steps I should take against the offending company.
I therefore thoroughly recommend Mr Bevan for his precise and professional advice and will of course instruct him if necessary in the event of failure to recoup my losses
kind regards

Writing our Wills

This review is for a different branch.

We were recommended to use this office of solicitors, by a friend who was pleased with work that they had carried out on her behalf. Adam was easy to contact, gave us his direct line and an appointment within a few days.
We were invited to an initial meeting with Adam Hillier at no cost to ourselves.
We felt the environment was welcoming and professional.
We felt comfortable to share our needs with Adam.At the end of this meeting we were not pressurised into making decisions and returned home to discuss this.We had phone calls and emails from Adam and Zara to help with any questions we had.
All staff were very helpful and professional.
The cost of the work was very competitively priced.
We have already started to discuss additional work with the firm.
Will be recommending them to friends and family.

Amicus Law Yeovil have acted on our sale and purchase recently. It has been a journey for several reasons outside of Amicus Law's control, however the team have provided assistance and guidance right from the start including dealing with an aborted sale. Our thanks go to Bill & Rob, who have kept everything moving forward and communicated very well.
