Tenant Eviction

No one is above the law

I had a particularly difficult tenant who worked in the legal profession and refused to vacate the property and pay rent for over a year .
Stephensons knew the process step by step and recovered my property, rent arrears /plus interest and a significant amount of costs against the tenant .
They all went out of their way to ensure a win against a tenant that tried every legal angle . So a big thank you to Sophie Chilstone ,Andrew Whitehead from Stephenson’s and Gary Lewis the barrister they assigned to my case .
I would highly recommend these people they seriously know what they are doing

Professional, Efficient, and Saved Me Thousands

I was referred to Stephensons’ Costs Team through Partner Paul Loughlin, and I’m incredibly grateful I was. I needed legal representation to dispute an excessive legal bill I had received from another firm of solicitors, and within just an hour of the referral, Neil Smallwood called me directly. Neil clearly explained my options, outlined the estimated costs, and gave me immediate confidence in his approach.

Neil, along with his colleague Lee Simpson, handled the matter with outstanding professionalism. They successfully challenged the bill, securing a reduction of over £4,500 — a result far better than I expected. The entire process was straightforward and stress-free. I was kept informed at every stage via email, and communication was always prompt and clear.

Thanks to Stephensons, not only was the disputed amount significantly reduced, but the matter was settled without the need for court proceedings. As a result, my total fees ended up being even less than originally estimated.

I’m genuinely pleased I chose Stephensons and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. A huge thank you to Paul, Neil, and Lee for their exceptional work.

Five -star service!

Stephensons solicitors were recommended to us for the sale of our house and we were so pleased we followed this advice. Not only were they efficient and professional in dealing with the paperwork, but our enquiries were answered promptly in a helpful and friendly manner. Special thanks to Dawn Burton and Alison Fanning; your guidance was much appreciated.

Thank you for all your hard work at the bleakest time of our lives x

The incredible Laura Hannah, Sunyana Sharma, Martyn Jackson and Caitlin Taylor put countless hours of work in and they were all incredibly knowledgeable, kind and tactful.

It was (and still is) an utterly hellish situation but we finally gave up after the situation caused me to be hospitalised twice; due to the overwhelming stresses over many months.

We should have realised much sooner that you just can’t beat the almighty power of a large institution - even if one of the most vulnerable people in society’s life has been totally destroyed.

There quite simply is NO justice.

If we were ever in such an abysmal situation again (please no, it’s nearly killed us) we would certainly use Stephensons Solicitors LLP and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you for all your hard work at the bleakest time of our lives x

Grateful for the 5star services offered by Stephensons

Stephensons Solicitors were very professional and offered me the best advice and support during my family court case. Both Victoria Melluish and Georgia were very professional and even visited me while I was in hospital, made sure I received clear correspondence, communication with letters and information required in time and I am happy with the results moving forward. I would recommend anyone and if I may need their services in future would not hesitate to contact them.

Excellent result.

I was impressed and got a good result at the end of the process. Stephensons did the hard work, gave sensible advice, were always friendly, approachable and were a pleasure to work with. I would be very happy to instruct them again in the future. I was always kept informed and never left wondering what was happening.
