I found Helen to be an extremely friendly, patient, kind and gave me very good advice. I never felt rushed, and I felt at ease discussing my situation with her. I could not have wished for a better person to advise me on my Will matters.

Genevieve Carnell provided an expert and professional conveyancing service on the sale and purchase of our properties. She kept us up to date at all stages of the process, and was meticulous in her attention to detail, ensuring that completion went smoothly.
This was the second transaction that Genevieve has carried out for our family, and Genevieve is now acting for my daughter, for her purchase of a property.
Genevieve is highly recommended.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 30 June, 2025:
Dear Duncan, Thank you so much for your lovely review regarding Genevieve. We appreciate your kind words and are grateful you keep choosing us to assist you with your conveyancing work. Many Thanks Amie

I can’t thank Helen Simpson and Woodfines LLP enough for their outstanding service in dealing with my late father’s will and probate. From the outset, they were highly professional and efficient. They guided us through what was a very emotional and sometimes complex process with clarity and sensitivity, always ensuring we fully understood each stage.
Their communication was excellent throughout every query we had was answered promptly and thoroughly. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a difficult time much easier to navigate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and professional legal support.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 22 April, 2025:
Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your kind words regarding Helen and the team. We are pleased that we could make such an emotional time that little bit easier for you and that you found our services excellent and thank you so much for the recommendation. Kind regards, Amie- Marketing Team

Tracy dealt professionally with what turned out to be a very long and protracted house sale (caused by potential buyers!) of my parents house. She communicated very well with our estate agents (as mentioned by them) and with the buyers solicitors. It was also very helpful to be able to have face to face short meetings with her and her team. The price charged for the service was very reasonable.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 22 April, 2025:
Thank you for your lovely words. We are so pleased that you felt Tracy was extremely helpful we are so glad you thought the price was also very reasonable too. If you need further help please never hesitate to get back in touch. Many thanks Amie- Marketing Team

Preparing my will was a job I kept putting off but knew was important to do as if anything happens to me I want the process of sorting my estate to be as easy as possible for my family.
Shireena went through the will preparation with me. She was very personable and explained everything very clearly and answered all of my questions. There were some clauses I needed to pause and think about and Shireena gave me the time to consider them.
My will is now finalised and is one less thing to worry about.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 17 April, 2025:
Dear Michelle, We're thrilled to hear that Shireena made the preparation of your Will that little bit easier and glad you finally have it sorted. if you need any further guidance please do not hesitate to get back in touch. Kind regards, Amie- Marketing Team

Rebecca explained everything at our first meeting - including costs, and then worked through the probate process keeping us informed of progress or lack of it from the authorities. All- in-all a fairly painless experience.

When my path crossed with Tracy's it was a very good day. Navigating the tricky and often mind-blowing obstacles during our house sale was made all the easier due to Tracy's kind and patient explanations. Boy, does that woman have patience! Tracy has a superb sense of humour which meant she was able to talk me down when the stress threatened to overwhelm me and her explanations and ways to overcome tricky situations were so reassuring. We became very fond of our solicitor and that is testimony to her people skills. A real asset to the firm.
A representative from Woodfines LLP responded to this review on 26 March, 2025:
Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for this wonderful review regarding Tracy. We are so pleased Tracy was able to keep you reassured and calm along the way in such a stressful situation. If you need further guidance please never hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Amie- Marketing Team

Disgusting customer service. I call asking for advice. As soon as I said I was a tenant and wasn’t a home owner they shut me down. Wouldn’t help me at all or let me explain why I needed advice. They just assuming I could afford legal fees. They put the phone down on me. If I’ve never been treated so badly I could give 0 stars I would.

Woodfines, were highly recommended by the estate agents and I can see why. Everything was done professionally and timely all the Team have totally took the stress out of helping with the purchase of a commercial building, with difficulties such as initial investor puling out in the last minute. I knew exactly what paperwork they required and all the important documents have all been returned very promptly.
All communications at high level in a very efficient manner, with them looking for our interest at best in liaising with all stakeholders.
A Big thank you to Woodfines Solicitors for all your help on the purchase we have completed recently! Highly recommended!

NO, I do not recommend for conveyancing.
They have caused so much stress, they rarely answer calls or call back. They are rude when they do and are doing basic conveyancing long after you are supposed to have exchanged. Risking a complete collapse of a house sale through their own incompetence.
