A ROGUE FIRM .... BUT SOLICITORS THEY ARE NOT !

Durham Police ( a VERY sloppy investigation ) accused me of A crime that I didn't commit and this was eventually proved in Court.
Meikles were in court on the first Court date and " took over " my representative for solicitor as they were duty solicitor at the time. They were extremely pushy. This was the last that I heard of them as they failed to return my calls around 15 times but I know they applied for 3 separate fundings from legal aid because they send me out notices in the post to say so!
Every time I rang them to find out what was going on, they said that they would get the assigned solicitor to call me - on FIFTEEN occasions, the call never came!

STEALING FROM THE PUBLIC PURSE IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE and this disgraceful firm seems to specialise in it.
STEER CLEAR OF THE COMPLETELY UNSCRUPULOUS, WASTE OF SPACE, THIEVING FIRM AS THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOU apart from steal both time & money from you.

Amazing Rapid Service, fantastic knowledge around child proceedings

This review is for a different branch.

I contacted Meikles in regard to a family matter involving my grandchild.
Meikles had us in court and the matter dealt with within 3 working days.
Meikles Stephen , Chris and Haley were all extremely helpful and readily available with advice and support ensuring we fully understood procedures, now and next etc.
My Grandchild's safety was there priority and they ensured that any outstanding risks were mitigated in court.

AVOID

This review is for a different branch.

I never met the solicitor once I only spoke to him on the phone. I didn't choose this firm, there was a conflict of interest for my solicitor of choice so he passed my case on to Meikles.

Bad customer service

This review is for a different branch.

I used this firm when purchasing a property the customer service was appalling and could never get to speak to the solicitor by telephone or in person also when sending emails taking weeks to get a response it took 8 months to finally complete and ended up costing me a lot more than they originally quoted 5 months later I have now been informed that some of my legal documentation has not been transferred over when contacting them they didn’t seem bothered and said they would be in touch if your looking for a solicitor to represent you and good customer service then I advise you not to use this firm

Brilliant !!!
Not a word iv ever used about the legal profession having worked in the past with young offenders and alternative to custody projects .
But , stephen did a great job, calm , concise, informative, professional the list goes on.
The prosecution floundered while stephen ticked the boxes .family, friends and employer supplied the data which stephen was able to prepare his presentation from.
Can not recommend him enough.
My young son is at home because of him.
Thank you stephen

Professional and diligent

This review is for a different branch.

I have recently completed on a property purchase and feel it necessary to share my positive experience using Meikles Solicitors LLP. This is the second time I used Meikles and will use them again, from regular updates from Lorraine and Jake to ensuring everything was completed and chased from the sellers solicitors in a timely manner. If you are looking for a professional, well priced and easy to deal with solicitors, look no further than Meikles. Thank you again.

Thank you to the whole team for guiding us through the difficult
time following a dangerous driving conviction. Although a charge was inevitable the team helped us understand each step, and reaching a minimal sentence.
