Perfect Service

I honestly can't fault them. Have used them many times before and very recently for a divorce and then conveyancing at the same time. Both John & Robert dealt with my cases individually but worked together when needed and pulled everything together as quickly as possible. Especially during the first lockdown last year.

Great soliciot

M. Finegold

Wasn’t made aware that he had left the firm. Both my Father and I have used him for different matters. Found him through social media and was happy to reconnect as there was no information given from Rudd’s.

Worth the trouble I had to go through to find him again. I’m 68. Need I say more

Rudds Solicitors dont have a clue whats is happening in their own firm

Richard cohen is an incompetent solicitor who led me to believe he was working on my mothers probate case for 4 years. There were various plausible excuses but has now left the firm without any word and the Firm have not been very forthright as to how and why this has happened. I will not be letting this go Richard Cohen of Rudds

Amazed

If you wish to be annoyed, frustrated, irritated and generally amazed at the absolute incompetence of the solicitors in this practice then go ahead but please save yourself time and money and look elsewhere.
They are not at all proactive, make so many mistakes and even after complaints have been made, they just carry on making more mistakes.
No urgency whatsoever in closing a case and in fact I find them quite contemptuous towards their clients.
There are similar reviews on another site (Yell).
Avoid seriously !!!
