Big thank you!

This review is for a different branch.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the legal support provided from my representative Laura Atkinson regarding my family matter. Your professionalism, expertise, and guidance throughout the process were truly appreciated.
I particularly valued your clear communication and prompt responses. Your assistance made a challenging situation much more manageable, and I felt well-informed and supported every step of the way.
I appreciate your dedication and efforts and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others in need of legal assistance.

Thank you once again for your support.

Best regards,
Stefan Mihaylov

Exceptional service & kept it simple

This review is for a different branch.

Emma was tenacious in making sure we got the right result and with the right level of diligence at all times. Emma's frank communication and experience really helped simplify a complex situation in a fast amount of time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma Bailey and F&E LLP.

No communication. Too long.

This review is for a different branch.

We used this company when selling a property recently and had 5 months of frustration and dissapointment. We had no chain on either side and communication between us and them was nil. Thank goodness we had an extremely good Estate Agent who continually chased them up. The solicitor for the Freeholder was in the same building but it was too much trouble to physically hand paperwork over. If time is of the essence. --- do not entertain using this company.

Unprofessional slow...abysmal service

This review is for a different branch.

Bought and sold many properties thought I'd give a local firm my business this time...BIG mistake. Took 7 months to make an absolute abortion of a straight forward ( but made complicated) cash purchase. Severe lack of communication leading to long delays, mislaid documents on more than one occasion and furthermore Sarbjit adopted a childish, blameful ' for tat' unprofessional approach taking no responsibility throughout. Shameful! Don't do yourselves a disservice folks go elsewhere.

Worst solicitor in Southampton

This review is for a different branch.

These guys are the worst solicitors in Southampton by a country mile.

Passed my case from locum to locum and charged me £1000 for effectively not doing any actual work as both my cases were abortive.
totally inept and the old receptionist there used to be so rude, can't speak for the new girl as she seemed ok.

Wonderful effortless Conveyancing

This review is for a different branch.

We used Matthew Yarham of the Romsey Office and are so glad that we were advised to use him and the services of the Romsey team,
Due to a sudden death we had to sell a property which all happened during lockdown. Matthew was excellent and nothing was too much for him.
The second property has recently completed again with hard work from Matthew and the Footner Ewing team.
Our third property is due to complete this coming week and Matthew will have a hat trick of successful sales for us. Well done - it really is appreciated
