Easy and quick statutory declaration
I had Andrew Mortimer witness a statutory declaration for me and the whole process was simple and quick, no complaints about it.

Divorce
I was very disappointed with the service I received from this firm. I placed my trust in the solicitor conducting my divorce at a difficult time but he was out of his depth. There was no financial scrutiny and I did not get a good divorce. I got the impression he just wanted to get the job done as quickly as possible. I would not use Stone King for any purpose.

Expensive and took over 4 years to complete.
As indicated in title, this firm is exceptionally slow for what it provides. Look around and go with somewhere else that offers faster/cheaper service.

Terrible Response Times
Used their web based contact form - still not had a response from that (nearly 3 weeks ago now)
Called regarding enacting LPA and EPA (urgent matters) to be told someone would call me back later that day.
No response for next 7 days even after chasing.
Having a different firm complete the work.

Act without authority and over charge
This review is for a different branch.
A horrendous experience with Stone King. Breached my confidence and acted without authority on some matters, charged to issues they were never instructed on and a complaint was fobbed off with the excuse that they thought they were doing right and therefore were right. Be very careful in your choice if you’re looking at Stone King.

Called them twice just now and on each occasion the receptionist cut me off. Oh and no call back either! This used to be the best solicitor's firm in Bath; now they can't answer the blooming 'phone.

Poor phone manners: long waiting time before someone answers the call or just hang-up on customer. Don't deliver on what they say they will.

The response from the firm below shows how dishonest they are. They had a complaint that they effectively laughed off until the Legal Ombudsman had to get involved. As a client of Mr Matthew Graham’s, Mr Graham breached my confidentiality and acted without authority. When a formal complaint was submitted, Mr Andrew Banks of the firm refused to accept responsibility. The Legal Ombudsman later found in my favour and monetary compensation was awarded. After leaving a honest review elsewhere, Stone King have attempted to have it removed by falsely claiming I was never a client. This firm is a truly dishonest set of individuals. I would not recommended them to anyone.

Writing an amended review after yesterday’s in-person experience at the branch, and raising this from one to five stars, after how this issue has been handled with professionalism today over the phone. When you are in contact with the right people at this firm who come from the same understanding as yourself, you do get the professional experience you expect. Our previous review has been copied down, if further use is necessary.

Very disappointed with the way my divorce was handled. I felt the solicitor was out of his depth. There was inadequate scrutiny of any of the financial assets. I felt the solicitor was out of his depth and just wanted a quick result. I would advise against using this firm for anything.
