Expert guidance through a tricky back and fourth

Engaged solicitor for a commercial remortgage with serval moving parts. The solicitor (A lady called Tammy), was outstanding with communication, keeping me informed each step of the way. We hit a stumbling block between some of the parties over documentation regarding current tenants and Tammy was outstanding offering suggestions and trying to find solutions. She even took it upon herself to reach out and call directly just to check in which, as well as being appreciated was above and beyond.

Successfully completed in a timely manor due to their efforts and would recommend to fellow landlords. Excellent.

Family Court case

My experience with my solicitor miss shabana isoop was really good.she explained everything to me through out my case and was happy to answer any questions or concerns I had.i was also informed of any changes ie court dates or barristers and with her help I managed to get the outcome I was hoping for to keep my young daughter safe and I am very grateful for that and I would recommend anyone in the future if they are unfortunate to need a solicitor to go to Russell and Russell Solicitors

Outstanding Service

As a person who deals with solicitors frequently I was amazed at how professional and quick the team from Russell and Russell acted on my behalf. Tammy was always available via the telephone and replied to emails very promptly. I would be more than happy to use their services again.

These clowns have lost me a purchase and a sale. They are totally and utterly useless they don’t act on the information given to them and just do whatever is the easiest option they was told from the off that they would need to do a deed of variation they ignored it and instead sent a indemnity policy which was never asked for and wasn’t needed.They eventually got the message that a DOV was needed and sent it off but guess what they didn’t do it correctly so the deed came back incomplete so again waiting on it being amended honestly they shouldn’t be allowed to practice a complete shambles! No matter what your estate agent says don’t use these and if your buying a house and seller is planning on using them walk away!

5 months to sell an empty house with no chain. Failed to study deeds resulting in last minute request for death certificate of our late father who died years ago. Failed to pass on requests from buyer's solicitor. They even failed to release the funds on completion until we chased them up 6 days later. Failed on every level to do the most basic conveyancing causing us a great deal of unnecessary stress and anxiety during what was already a very difficult time for us. Nice, big, flash state of the art offices though. They should be embarrassed at the quality of service they sold us.

Shabana was amazing from start to finish. Shabana is very professional at what she does. I was in family court and in the final hearing I got what I wanted with my daughter. I would not hesitate using Russell and Russell Solicitors again should I ever need them.
