Excellent Service

We used Stephensons as our solicitors for buying a house. The whole process was smooth start to finish and our Case Manager Kim was quick to respond and kept us updated. Highly recommend Stephensons and Kim in particular for anyone needing a solicitor.

Efficient and professional

I have dealt with lawyers before and always had a negative experience. This time I went for Stephenson firm after my reading positive reviews. After speaking to Skye, I felt that this firm would be the right one who put my doubts at ease and advised me to discuss the matter with Laura Hannah who is solicitor specialising in this area or concern. I have no regrets and am very pleased that went for them as my delicate case was handled with care and issues have resolved quickly. I must highlight I was impressed how they listened to me and attended my anxiety related to the case, they answered all my questions in a timely manner so I could have a good understanding of the matter. Empathetic and supportive solicitors, put my anxiety down which is rare to find. Thank you Stephensons, would use our service again.

Impressed!

Despite the unfortunate reason for my interaction with Stephensons solicitors (eviction of bad tenants), my solicitor, Andrew Whitehead, was very clear and understanding in all communications; provided explanations along the way and gave good advice to mitigate any risks. A real professional experience from beginning to end - I don’t know how else I would have got my house back! Big thank you to Andrew and his team! 🙏

Professional Negligence Claim

Stephenson's was assigned my file by the SRA after the law firm working for my company was closed. The file was in a chaotic state, and Stephenson's had to work diligently to correct numerous errors that had accumulated over three years. After addressing these issues, they successfully delivered a professional negligence claim, helping my company recover all its losses. The team at Stephenson's were patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to explain what they were doing and why. We are very grateful for the effort they put in on our behalf.

Land Dispute - Adverse Possession / Alleged Prescribed Rights of Way

As a couple with almost 30 years of combined post-qualification experience as solicitors, we would like to share our outstanding experience being represented by Joanne Ellis from Stephensons Solicitors during a complex land dispute involving several neighbours and issues of adverse possession and prescribed rights of way.

From our very first consultation, it was clear that Joanne possesses a profound understanding of land law, particularly in niche areas such as ours. Her expertise was not just a reassurance; it was a cornerstone of our strategy as we navigated this sensitive and complicated situation.

Joanne provided us with clear, insightful advice tailored specifically to our circumstances. She took the time to thoroughly investigate every aspect of our case, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Her strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail was outstanding.

What we appreciated most about Joanne was her ability to simplify complex legal concepts. She communicated every step of the way, ensuring we understood our options and the potential outcomes. This clarity gave us the confidence to make informed decisions rather than feeling overwhelmed by the complexities associated with this area of law.

Throughout the process, Joanne advised us clearly and it was evident that she had our best interests at heart. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, we were able to avoid settling for unfavourable terms and instead reached a resolution at the Land Tribunal whereby we had successfully won our case.

We wholeheartedly recommend Joanne Ellis to anyone seeking a solicitor with profound knowledge and relentless dedication to her clients. Her professionalism and commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients truly set her apart.

Thank you, Joanne, for your exceptional guidance and support throughout this process!

Joanna Ribchester - compassionate, articulate, clever and committed

Joanne may have been only a trainee solicitor when she took my unfair dismissal claim, but, she was more professional than many a qualified solicitor. She is an excellent listener and communicator. She really takes on board what you say and applies that to the case. She stuck with me even when the other party became difficult. And in the end we had a favourable outcome.

Very supportive in a long running matter

Mike Pemberton has been a star, dealing with a case where the police force concerned have been insouciant and procrastinating in their response and dealings with evidence presented for an arrest deletion application. I am disappointed that he will not be at the firm to see this matter to closure, and am grateful for the advice, assistance and consideration Mike has shown in this matter.
