Excellent advice & support!

Both Manzural & Riyad were both fantastic and provided an excellent service that one would expect from a law firm, responsive and thorough throughout! We honestly could not ask for a better duo!
Manzural, you made an extremely worrying experience less daunting and put our minds at ease! We appreciate you; thank you.

Disaster!

This is a genuine warning for all those who are thinking about retaining Mullis & Peake. I retained Mullis & Peake after my mother's passing in November 2021. Manzurul Islam, Head of probate department, took twelve months to file the application for grant of probate. He said he had to send it by post but didn't understand why. He took a further six months to call Probate UK to see if the mail had arrived, only to find out, it hadn't Nineteen months after my mother passed with a full will and all assets in cash, we are no closer to grant of probate! Manzurul Islam is not telling lies to cover up his mistakes. Don't worry, he doesn't dare take me to court for slander because he knows the evidence against him id overwhelming. Once again, do not retain Mullis & Peake!

Terrible!

Don't care about the client. Evasive. Slow. Confusing.

We sorry you feel this way and agree that applying for probate can be confusing for our clients, which is why we have tried out best to explain the process as clearly as we can. Unfortunately, HMRC and the Probate Registry are experiencing delays; high demand has caused waiting times for the Probate Registry to have been increased to 16 weeks. Your concerns are being dealt with by Esther Marshall, the Solicitor and Member responsible for complaints. She can be contacted on esthermarshall@mplaw.co.uk or 01708 784000.

Manzurul at the firm helped me to get a frivolous £70,000 claim against me by my tenant instantly struck off at a hearing in front of a district judge. I have used many solicitors through my life. Manzurul was among the most astute and knowledgable solicitors you will find. Thank you for your services.

I spoke to Manzurul on the subject of probate and a deed of variation and found him to be exceptionally helpful. He simplified a complicated process and gave me best and most cost effective advice. Many thanks Mullis & Peake.

We were fortunate enough to have Manzurul Islam represent us during a contractual dispute. He was thorough, knowledgeable and incredibly efficient at his job. He guided us through each process step by step with clear explanations. Thanks to him the case was resolved relatively quickly. I highly recommend Manzurul and the firm as a whole.

Manzurul Islam is who helped me at Mullis & Peake. I walked in expecting a very dry, run of the mill service. However, what i received was very personable, thorough, professional, informative and detailed with the help provided going beyond my expectations. I am happy to recommend Manzurul and am glad I chose him to represent me.
