Very Helpful & Pleasant Experience

I am writing to express my gratitude and satisfaction with the exceptional service provided by Oliver & Co. Their policies of clarity, good and swift communication, and responsiveness to any concerns were evident throughout my experience. In the complicated process of recovering my assets from the Treasury, Amelia guided me from the beginning to the successful end, keeping me updated with a clear roadmap. She was always pleasant and instilled confidence.

Other members of the team were also very helpful, providing information on other issues pro bono.

Consequently, I will be using their services for conveyancing a property that I'm selling. Thank you for your professionalism; it was a pleasure working with you.

Personal Injury claim

I was recommended Oliver & Co for my personal injury claim by a relative because they were so pleased with how they handled their case. My dealings with Kathryn Bull have been really positive since she took over my case. She kept me up to date throughout and replied to any of my queries or questions in a really prompt and efficient manner. My settlement has now been concluded and I would recommend Kathryn.

Extremely Disappointed with Service from Oliver & Co Solicitors

We had an extremely disappointing experience with the new build department at Oliver & Co Solicitors. Despite their high service fees, which were supposed to reflect superior service, our experience was frustrating and unacceptable.

From the start, we provided all the required information and were left waiting with no progress. Our numerous emails and voicemails went unanswered until we escalated our concerns. Only then did we get a reply asking us to wait even longer.

After promptly paying the requested fee for searches, we were suddenly informed that the solicitor would no longer act for us. Attempts to reach out for clarification were ignored, and we were then told via email to find another solicitor, with a promise of a refund.

When we asked about the refund, we were told some searches had been done, but we have not heard back since. Despite repeated emails asking if there was anything further required from us, we were simply told to be patient and wait. This lack of communication and proper response is incredibly frustrating.

To anyone considering Oliver & Co Solicitors, be cautious. Our experience was marked by poor communication, irresponsible handling of our case, and a general lack of professionalism. We are left extremely disappointed.

A representative from Oliver & Co Solicitors Ltd responded to this review on 25 June, 2024:

Dear Mr Tsin, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, your transaction does not fit within our risk profile and so we have been unable to act for you on this occasion. At the outset of our communication, we were not aware of all of the circumstances of your transaction and so we were unable to advise you that we could not act for you any sooner. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and are issuing a full refund to you. Best wishes.

At quite a stressful time for me I couldn't have wished for anyone better to represent me than Angela Cross, she was patient and professional, she made me fully understand each stage of the process and put my mind at ease on numerous occasions,
I can't thank her enough, without hesitation I will be recommending Angela and Oliver & Co solicitors to anyone who might require them.
Thanks again.

Thank you so much Allison and Rebecca,

My first contact with Allison was from hospital following a serious road accident. She has been with me at each step of my recovery – visiting me at home; arranging my rehabilitation; ensuring correct and prompt medical interventions; working with my employers, medical professionals, rehabilitation case management specialists, and a variety of consultants; scouring medical and police reports, etc. – all the time building and delivering a successful personal injury claim for me.

Allison has been a constant source of kindness, help and support throughout a time in my life that has been hugely challenging; frequently checking in on me to make sure I’m ok and to see how my rehab / return to work etc. was going. I have been so fortunate to have Allison in my corner.

Communication throughout has been excellent. Allison and Rebecca have kept me in touch with each step of the process and explained everything clearly, which made the whole experience very straightforward for me. At a time when a lot was going on in my life, this was really important and enabled me to focus on my recovery and family matters, secure in the knowledge that everything else was being taken care of.

If you are considering using Oliver & Co Solicitors Ltd. I would say definitely do! I can absolutely recommend them.

Many thanks again Allison and Rebecca – you’ve been brilliant!
