How Cartys Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 96%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Cartys on ReviewSolicitors.

As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using Cartys. These questions include:

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Purchase/Sale of Property

This review is for a different branch.

Louise acted on behalf of us for the sale and purchase of our properties. Her communication with us was great throughout the transactions and helped keep our minds at ease during a stressful time. The purchase of our property encountered many difficulties that Louise was able to rectify and keep us updated of the progress. We would highly recommend working with Louise and will be requesting her assistance with any future requirements.

First class communication and effort. Worth every penny.

This review is for a different branch.

From putting in notes of interest to selling our home and buying another, Sinead and the team at Cartys were the most helpful, attentive and responsive law firm I've dealt with. This was our third move and previous experiences with other (larger) firms meant we dreaded the legal side of moving, but with Sinead we were never left waiting for a reply, never left wondering what stage of the process we were at and never left trying to translate legal jargon. During what is a stressful and expensive time, being able to pick up the phone and have answers to any question so quickly was invaluable. We would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for conveyancing. Price wise Cartys were very reasonable compared to others, but ultimalty provided outstanding value for money with the service provided.

New Will

This review is for a different branch.

I first met with Jennifer several years ago in relation to another matter and was very impressed with her professional manner and legal knowledge in guiding me appropriately through a challenging situation.
Due to a change in circumstance, I had to make a new will and from my first phone call to the office to arrange an appointment, I have been delighted with the service from Jenny, she is so friendly and approachable and I feel reassured she is always looking out for my best interests.
I would have no hesitation in recommending both Jennifer and the company as a whole to my family and friends, particularly in relation to the high standard of professionalism.
Kindest Regards
Margaret Munro

Best family law solicitor out there

This review is for a different branch.

I am currently going through a very messy divorce and child custody battle. I recommend Jenny hunter as the best family solicitor out there. She's professional, responds within hours to emails, shows empathy and understanding and most importantly she fights for you. As the saying goes fight to the death well Jenny fights to win your case. My case is still ongoing so I don't know the outcome yet but even if it doesn't go in my favour I know Jenny fought for me
