Good in parts

3

We had a very good experience with the service provided by the Litigation department based at the Taunton office. We would give a 5 star rating to the work of Yana Goutsal.
However our experience with the partner at the Williton office was much less good. He seemed to misunderstand our intentions in our wish to set up a life time trust in favour of our son, and seemed to be prejudiced by the fact we had been obliged to resort to litigation in a family dispute. When we requested a second interview to go forward with the Trust, we got no response or offer of an appointment. We have now gone to a different law firm and I cannot see us using Risdons Williton branch again in the future.

Conveyance and Litigation

1

I won’t be using this firm again as I feel we were let down by the conveyance team and litigation team.
We were never kept up to date and constantly had to chase for information and feel the more complex parts of conveyances were not explained to us in a way the “average” person would understand.
All communications were done by email, when sometimes a phone call would of been more constructive and re assuring.
