Excellence at all levels

5

I worked with Hannah Read at Lyons Bowe Solicitors for my recent divorce. I highly recommend her. She is professional, caring, thorough, efficient, knowledgeable and wise. She is straight-forward, direct, and not only knows the legal aspects, but also understood where I was coming from and what I wanted and was able to hold the balance with me. I am impressed, pleased, and grateful. This was a significant life experience for me, it mattered a lot, and I was very aware the whole way through how much I appreciated having Hannah on my team.

Matter regarding Family Law

5

I was very pleased how Lyons Bowe Solicitors dealt with my matter. Although, I am assuming, it might not have been a big issue and relative straight forward from a solicitor's point of view. They gave advice and suggested what I am entitled to. However I wanted to go down a slightly different path. They never pushed me into any decisions I wasn't happy with, but they backed themselves up by asking me to sign that "I wanted to go down a slightly different path" which I was happy with.
They kept me informed along the way and were upfront with any potential costs.
I did like their approach to pay a monthly fee over the course of the case rather than having one big invoice when closing the file. I did get monthly statements and it was no issue at all receiving my overpayment within days of the final invoice.

Best Solicitors I've encountered by far.

5

The first time in my admittedly limited experience with solicitors that I never had to chase anything up. They did what they said they would and said what they did. There was never a time that I felt that they were trying to pin any delays on anyone else. Lots of communication and updates all the way through a house sale, purchase and divorce. Definitely would use them again.

Friendly service and timely response to

Friendly service and timely response to enquiries but there is a lack of clarity around billing and high charges that I consider hard to justify.

Hi Sarah. We appreciate your kind comments about our friendly service and prompt response to enquiries. I am sorry to hear your concerns over the invoicing. I believe you raised these are the time with the fee earner and this was resolved by way of re-issue.
