Appraisal

John Stokes seems to take on a lot of the criminal side of things, backed up by the informative receptionists/secretaries. Although constantly busy, he will usually find the time to address any issues you may have, very professional, experienced and quite possibly socialist, which as a defence lawyer I personally find reassuring.
The company readily offers legal aid, whereas other solicitors won`t.
I got a result that was as much as could`ve been expected, very happy.

Firm offered £30 for me to take down my review!

I'm adding to a review, because after the last one, the practice manager at Daniel Woodman and Co called me and offered to reimburse me my £30 onboarding fee if I removed my review! I was staggered. I told him the review was an honest overview of events, and he agreed that I did not have a great experience. I asked him to put his offer of money to remove my review in writing. The phone when dead... Obviously I did not accept the offer.

Shockingly unprofessional!

This is long, but in short I strongly advise against this unprofessional firm. The service was extremely poor, at best. I instructed this firm and did all the onboarding with them and had money on acount. Then their conveyancer didn't respond to the anything from the estate agent for my purchase. No acknowdglement of receipt of Memorandom of Sale two weeks on. I emailed, called and nothing. I then found out that the conveyancer was away. I called on the day she was due back and was told she was now on sick leave and that someone would definitely get back to me the next day. No-one did. The following day, I emailed as no-one picked up the phone (something that's been a pattern throughout this ordeal). I was informed the conveyancer was back, but that she was leaving the firm that day. I asked to be forwarded to the solictor, who I'd also spoken to a few weeks ago. I was told he just left too. I asked if I had been assigned someone to progress my purchase given that two weeks had already been lost, and no-one responded to my emails. I called and left messages 7 times in the last 2 days to get an answer. No-one from conveyancing called me back. The poor family law team had to keep running upstairs to ask them to call back. Finally got hold of the practice manager Ben Few, and now it's so clear why all of their conveyancers left en masse! Awful guy. Rude, no apologies for holding my sale up, and just kept repeating my email about asking for a refund if I don't get a solictor and ignored all the others I told him about that were just requesting a solictor or even a response. He said bluntly, you'll get your money back, go elsewhere as you wish. In conclusion, if you don't want to be ignored, or your sale to be delayed, avoid at all costs. I wish I knew sooner.

This was the first time I have used Daniel Woodman. In dealing in with Charles Dibley and his team my husband and I were very pleased with the professional advice and excellent service provided. Information provided was made very clear and easy to understand throughout through a difficult time. Very courteous and friendly solicitors to deal with overall.

We would not hesitate to recommend Daniel Woodmans to friends and family. Mr and Mrs Box

Excellent service!!

I instructed Charlie to process a financial order against my divorce, and I can’t recommend him more highly. He was helpful at all stages of the process and made sure I understood everything. Thank you Charlie for making it a simple and easy process, I really appreciate it!!

Good Conveyancers

I had a good experience with Daniel Woodman & Co solicitors from start to finish. They were generally very responsive and on the ball with chasing up enquiries. All of the staff were very friendly. There were no hidden costs and I think my final bill was actually a little less than what they initially quoted. I would recommend them as a conveyancer.

Unfortunately, we have had a very poor experience with the conveyancing department of this firm, who we appointed to assist with the sale and purchase of properties.

Onboarding was completed and moneys paid at the end of August/start of September. Since then we have received little to no contact regarding the case which has caused a delay in the progress of these matters.

Our original solicitor left the firm without us being made aware and we were not able to determine who was looking after our case after this, receiving only sporadic contact from different members of staff.

We have now been informed that their conveyancing department is due to close at the end of October due to staffing issues and that they are unable to proceed with our case.

We have wasted the best part of 6 weeks with no progress in our sale/purchase and regret appointing them to begin with.
