Smooth Home Purchase

This review is for a different branch.

I recently worked with Appelby, Hope and Matthews to buy my new home, and I couldn't be happier with their excellent service.

David made the legal side of things easy to understand and handled everything with professionalism. They were quick to respond to my questions, keeping me informed every step of the way and his clear communication took away any stress.

David made sure everything ran smoothly and solved any issues promptly, making the whole process hassle-free.

I highly recommend Appleby, Hope and Matthews for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor. Thank you for making my home purchase a positive experience!

Terrible, dont bother!.

This review is for a different branch.

I used this companies criminal law department and they were very poor. They didn't reply to phone calls or emails and had to be threatened with none payment of their bill and complaints to law board in order to get a response. They also find it extremely difficult to follow client instructions. I used the head of this department and his presentation in court was extremely poor and unconvincing, lots of "errr errr errr err's". It was almost embarrassing to listen to. More disturbing than this is that they failed to notice a piece of material evidence was "missing" from the evidence file before trial!!!....which at a later date, when provided, resulted in the charge being dropped!!!....At one point i was told by them "having a criminal record won't effect my employment opportunities"....Yeah right!!! NOT... Additionally their admin was poor. They claimed I had received documents which I had not, upon requesting copies, they were clearly not signed by me and their application for legal aid was so poor I gave up - after over a year!!!!, if not more..I would seriously not recommend these people to anyone
