Big Thank you for Beth Jones

I recently had the pleasure of working with Optimal Solicitors, and I am compelled to share my positive experience. From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed by the professionalism and expertise displayed by their team.

First and foremost, the communication was outstanding. The staff at Optimal Solicitors were prompt in responding to my inquiries and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. This level of transparency and accessibility instilled confidence in their commitment to client satisfaction.

What sets Optimal Solicitors apart is their deep knowledge of the legal landscape. The solicitors demonstrated a profound understanding of my case, offering insightful advice and guiding me through each step with precision. Their attention to detail and thoroughness ensured that no aspect of my situation was overlooked.

Moreover, Optimal Solicitors exhibited a genuine concern for my well-being. They approached my case with empathy and compassion, making a challenging legal process feel more manageable. It was clear that they prioritized not only the legal aspects but also the human side of the situation.

Efficiency was another notable aspect of my experience with Optimal Solicitors. They navigated through the legal complexities with finesse, delivering results in a timely manner without compromising the quality of their work. This efficiency not only saved time but also underscored their commitment to delivering optimal outcomes for their clients.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Optimal Solicitors to anyone seeking legal assistance. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to client satisfaction set them apart in the legal field. If you are in need of a reliable and capable legal team, look no further than Optimal Solicitors for a service that exceeds expectations.

GOOD PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

After contacting many solicitors who refused to handle my case of a faulty vehicle that was sold to me, and the dealer refusing to take back the vehicle, I finally approached Optimal Solicitors. So far, l find their proactive, very friendly and efficient handling of my case highly commendable!

Please, keep up your highly modus operandi and good service. Yes, we need it!

Don't use them!

The service provided by Rafael, Paulina, and Shah in my car accident case was disappointing.
Their suggestion for me to cover my own expenses, the delayed submission of my case, the insufficient compensation, the high service fee, and the unexpected additional GP fees all contribute to a negative overall experience.
It is essential to seek legal professionals who prioritize their clients best interests and provide clear and transparent communication throughout the process.
Creating extra GP fees that you were unaware of and had to pay is highly unprofessional.
As a client, I have the right to be informed about any additional charges or fees that may arise during the course of the case. Their failure to disclose this information shows a lack of transparency and consideration for my financial well-being.
Moreover, their charging a 25% fee from their services seems excessive, especially considering the unsatisfactory outcome of the case.
Charging such a significant percentage without delivering the desired results adds insult to injury.
They advised me to spend my own money on physiotherapy and additional expenses without proper guidance or assistance.
As professionals handling my case, they should have informed me about potential costs and explored options for coverage or reimbursement.
It is frustrating to invest your personal funds only to find out later that the case was delayed to submit and leading to insufficient
compensation.
The lack of transparency and commitment is next level, they don't even bored to call or email me about any changes in the case, everytime I called them was always the same answer this person is on holidays/your case had moved to different person,after 2 YEARS they send me a final offer £299 when I spent over £800 in physio only because they advised me to do.
They didn't manage the reimbursed me nothing, everything they promised wasn't true or right.

Anyway please don't use them. They're not good at all. You're better of doing it yourself.

Very disappointed, would not recommend. My whole experience with them was very disappointing as they were very slow in their responses and gave me incorrect information regarding the lease (I had to insist multiple times before I get the right answer).

They also failed to advise me that would be good to request an EICR certificate before completion and they failed to ask the seller to renew the EPC certificate (even though they promised me they would chase for an updated certificate).

Now, I’m trying to get hold of my case handler for the last 5 days, left emails, voice messages and even call the office multiple times regarding my contact rider, (where I actually paid additional money to them to keep my accounts open and manage the rider) and still no response!!

Absolutely disgusting!
