Value for money
Limited data.
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.
This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Darby & Darby on ReviewSolicitors.

- Value for money (a rating of 1-5)
- How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?

- Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
- Overall experience

LPA process
This review is for a different branch.
I was recently diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimers so I was advised to set up a lasting power of attorney and will which I have done with Darby and Darby.
Anthea Wilson who dealt with me all the way through the process was very patient and professional with me, explaining the processes in detail as I can get very confused with paperwork now.
Darby and Darby kept me up to date with what was happening throughout and made the appointments around my availability very easy.

Divorce
This review is for a different branch.
Consistent, patient and exemplary advice given in the face of considerable, and offensive professional hostility shown by the opposing client and solicitors.

Brilliant Professional Service
This review is for a different branch.
On moving to Devon in 2016 we decided to amend our wills and in 2018 employed darby&darby solicitors after looking at the previous reviews. We saw Ben Darby and his attention to detail and excellent customer service was superb. We have recently amended our wills (2024) to reflect some changes in our children's circumstances and once again the service, this time being Andrew Carman, was once again courteous, professional and comfortable. We have no hesitation recommending this firm of solicitors. Stephen & Kasia
