AVOID - INCOMPETENCE AT ITS BEST....

I am deeply disappointed with the service provided by Greenwoods Solicitors regarding the handling of a friend's will. My parents initially agreed to act as executors but ultimately renounced their role due to ill health.

From the very beginning, the situation spiraled out of control. Important forms were lost despite Greenwoods receiving both soft and hard copies. Even with multiple solicitors getting involved, the issues only compounded. What should have been a straightforward process turned into a chaotic mess.

It is staggering to witness such a lack of professionalism and organisation in a legal firm, especially when they are being paid for their services. I would not recommend Greenwoods Solicitors based on this experience. and I would avoid the following staff members;

* Matthew Biles
* Claire Harris
* Aimee Pearson

A representative from Greenwoods Legal Llp responded to this review on 12 February, 2025:

Thank you for your feedback, which it is important to state relates to the release of documents and not advice. We note that you were not our client, so we are not able to share the details of this matter with you. However, we can confirm that our document release protocol is strict so to ensure that we meet our professional requirements and to reduce the risk of fraud. While we appreciate that collating the relevant documents can be time consuming, it is necessary to ensure that our client interests are fully protected. We do keep our policies and procedures under review and, as a result of your feedback, we have further reviewed how we ask for the required documents.

Negative service, unprofessional, lack of care and consideration! being paid for admin work is the only thing that matters for them!!

This review is for a different branch.

I was recommended to Lorna Carter at Greenwood’s for an adjudication process that Lorna advised was a strong case/strong grounds, straight forward case apparently -cowboy builders built an extension for me that had to be demolished, unfortunately i was passed on to her assistant for most of the work despite paying for Lorna’s service and unfortunately the adjudication went in the other parties favour (apparently extremely rare/almost unheard of especially as I had such a strong case, the layout of the evidence was obviously not good enough and the wrong adjudicator was appointed or not checked properly, Lorna at Greenwood’s has now decided to wash her hands of this, dosent want to help, dosent want to support and apparently it’s now a bad case that I should not pursue so I’m left 70k out of pocket, typical once they have been paid thousands of pounds, shocking service and I will be taking legal action against them where possible, please be careful if you use this firm and ofcourse Lorna Carter and her assistant Jayne in particular as this is extremely unfair and I have been treated negatively because im upset and let down, im traumatised!

My father would be deeply happy to know what a wonderful job Duncan and his team have done in providing legal services and advice for our business. He is an experienced, wise lawyer who has served me and my family very well over many years.
