Bad experience

I bought my house using Aletta Shaw a couple of years ago. They were clumsy during the process. Completed in January, settled up their bill - Ok, Fine.

Then in February, they contacted me to let me know they had forgotten to charge me for something. less than £300. Not ideal. Paid it. Ok, Fine.

Then in DECEMBER, they contacted me to let me know they had missed something else. £1400! This time i was more hard up due to a personal situation. They threatened a formal debt recovery avenue and i paid up. Not Fine.

An unpleasant experience.

Sloppy. Avoid.

Very pleased - thank you

We recently worked with Katie McCaughin from Aletta Shaw solicitors for our first home purchase, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The process felt smooth and straightforward which was pleasantly surprising given the horror stories you sometimes hear - particularly for first time buyers!

Katie was happy to answer our questions and responded quickly to emails. The whole process took just under 5 months with a chain. We feel it was good value for money.

We are genuinely grateful for Katie’s support and highly recommend her and Aletta Shaw solicitors.

Appointed this firm to handle my divorce and pension sharing arrangement. I am onto my 3rd solicitor with this firm. Their work is riddled with inaccuracies, which are often to my detriment. In one instance, I waited over a month for a reply to my email.

Property purchase

From beginning to end the service provided by Soniya,Sue and the rest of the team was exemplary. I was kept informed of every step of the process and if there was anything I needed to do to make the process easier. I have used Aletta Shaw Solicitors previously and will continue to do so for all my legal requirements.

Excellent Speedy Service

I was recommended to Aletta Shaw by a family member who had used them previously and I received excellent service. I needed a very quick turn around for an employment issue and only had a few days to finalise. The team were very professional, gave good advice and completed in the required time. I would use again and recommend.

Truly Shocking Customer Service.

I had the misfortune to speak to Aleta Shaw. Never have I ever come across a company that was so unhelpful. Not interested from the start and made every excuse why I could not have an appointment. The senior lawyer for litigation was unable to articulate why she could not help. Total embarrassment. Phone calls and emails not returned. Avoid this company at all cost.

Unhelpful and poor value for money

After having a consultation with Emilia Aletta, I felt extremely overcharged and anxious. Seeking legal advice, as it is, is stressful. I was shocked and disappointed by the patronising and judgemental attitude of Emilia. I expected professionalism at the very least and for the hefty £150 consultation, I received nothing of value. Exploiting vulnerable people in vulnerable situations is shameful.

The worst company ever

I can honestly say ive never left a bad review before, but this company are by far the worst company i've ever had the misfortune of dealing with, Everything they did was slow and lee there took forever to do anything, they held my divorce up by a few months and even the other solicitors dealing with my ex wife's affairs couldn't believe how bad they was ! i would avoid this company at all costs

Cant fault them - Brooke Mahoney

I’ve never had a solicitor here so proactive. Brooke didn’t need any chasing or harassing and she dealt with our difficult buyers with us. Really helpful throughout and easy! As it should be :)
