I only became aware recently that you could review a solicitor in the same way you can review a saucepan you have bought from Amazon.

Having read the reviews on Somerfield Solicitors, particularly from two clients who seemed less than satisfied, I felt impelled to write a review myself to inform others of my own, much more positive experience.

I have been using Somerfield Solicitors for a number of years now, for a variety of personal and business matters and have been extremely satisfied with the service received and the outcomes achieved.

Neil and his colleagues have “held” my hand through many situations and always spent the time to help me understand the complexities of the legal system and why some matters are dealt with in a more frustrating and complicated way than a layman would have approached a problem. The legal system can be clunky and idiosyncratic in the way matters need to be processed, particularly litigation, and Neil’s guidance through the system has been both supportive and lead to successful outcomes, which is why I will continue to use him and Somerfield Solicitors with confidence.

No one is perfect, not even solicitors, but dealing with Somerfield Solicitors, has been in general nothing less than a positive experience. As a client I have always felt able to voice my point of view or question their recommended approach to a problem, even raising “ “ queries which are answered with respect (rather than putting me down) which has leaves me feeling that we work together as a team, to achieve the best outcome. Neil’s approach to problems has so far proved to be the right advice. It is the system that causes the problems, and in a current case he is dealing with at the moment for me, the other side who fail to grasp what has been explained very clearly to them by Neil.

Both the system and other solicitors (& their clients) can make a case frustrating and unnecessarily complicated but Neil just gets his head down and does the very best he can for his client, while always keeping you in the loop. I sometimes feel that I am part of his office team, rather than the client. The only difference is that I pay him, rather than he pays me. I am sure however, that if you were a client who is less hands on than me, he would be able to communicate in the most appropriate way for them - it is just that I like to get involved.

I am sure that he has many very satisfied clients, they have just not stumbled up this website to express their gratitude.

Somerfield & Co were recommended 5 years ago by our solicitor of over 30 years who retired. We have employed Neil, and his colleagues on numerous matters from house conveyancing, commercial property matters, and litigation. We have always Somerfield & Co to be approachable, efficient and friendly. We have used Neil on two litigation matters, one which we won ‘hands down’ and a current complicated case which is due in court this year. We value Neil’s experience, advice, and his attention to detail. Indeed, we recommended Neil to a friend (we do not make recommendations likely) and we know they have been very pleased with the service. We recommend Somerfield & Co.

Neil came recommended by a friend who is very experienced in legal matters concerning both commercial and residential property. He did a great job achieving a favourable result for us in a stressful case. He was friendly and supportive and we had 100% confidence that he had our best interests at heart.

Neil and his staff have been wonderful in helping me with a legal issue. Their advice and professionalism is second to none. Their responses were timely and easy to understand and we were kept informed all the time. Very friendly, honest and helpful and also very happy to explain every scenario so I had the complete picture. I would recommend them to anyone.

Neil is a friendly, approachable, and professional solicitor whose advice is second to none. I have always found that his advice is easy to understand and is generally helpful. I would be more than happy to recommend his services to my friends and family.

After using Somerfield and Co recently I would thoroughly recommend using them for legal matters. We have had a long process to deal with recently and Somerfield and Co have been extremely helpful with their guidance and knowledge along the way. I will be using this firm again in the future.

I have used several solicitors in the past also for house purchases however this time the property was an auction property with a very tight deadline for completion. I have never experienced such a professional group of solicitors! All involved helped the process not only go very smoothly but I was kept fully informed at all times and to be honest they were all a pleasure to deal with everything fully explained and any problems solved before they became an issue. In short I highly recommend these solicitors and I will not be going anywhere else in the future for all of my legal requirements. Thank you to Neil and the rest of the team.
