Great service
When I first decided to do my will, I was a little afraid of how to go about doing it. Now that I’ve done it, I feel much more confident about having placed my wishes onto an official document, which will make things simpler for my remaining family/trustees to be able to sort out m last wishes after death

Thank you very much
I would like to thank Claire Banks and her team for a brilliant job they did handling my case. The case went on for about five years and in that time I was kept up to date with everything that was going on. Claire from the start of my case said it would be very difficult to prove, but with the hard work and dedication Claire put in she got me the right result. To say we are overjoyed would be an understatement. Maxwell Hodge are lucky to have Claire, she is a credit to the company herself and her family. Thank you very much

Outstanding care
This review is for a different branch.
We went to Pamela for advice, wow! We had been turned away by previous solicitors and some had been quite rude but not Maxwell solicitors, they were so polite and accommodating we had a phone call from the lovely Pamela who listened to what was important to us, we then arranged to see her in person and she had such a lovely way with our 6 year old daughter it left us with full confidence that not only was she very efficient in her job but she was a kind natured person who genuinely cares about her clients. Whatever the outcome we are grateful!
A representative from Maxwell Hodge Limited responded to this review on 14 April, 2025:
Many thanks for your kind words, Cheryl. Kindness, approachability and friendliness is what we always strive for and it is pleasing to read how well this was achieved during your recent interaction with Pamela. We appreciate your positive feedback and look forward to working with you.

Where to start - It took me a long time to write that review, cause I refused to pay the open amount they want to charge me ( around 500) .
In the beginning it all looked very good and professional, I used the firm because of my divorce.
I got told that my case is no problem , specially as the children with me and my wife left and was not paying any child support , and that we will put this and this against what she was asking for .
But a lot of things have been not true or other important facts have not being taken in account, for the final hearing I defended myself, because I lost the trust in the lawyer.
Even the judge then ask me then, why some papers handed in from my lawyer have not been signed the right way and cant be accepted. ( something every lawyer should know the Judge replied)
Very disappointing, I was client of the the family lawyer in Liverpool office .
I tried to ask them to let me off the final bill, because of so much information I got told, was not right as it was shown in the final hearing . Even in the hearing before when I was still with the firm, not the lawyer from Liverpool came, but my case was given to a barrister, who 10 Minutes before the hearing ask me, about things he should have known.I had to go with him through my file and saw on the questions he ask , he had no idea about my case . He was not prepared.
I did not feel like a valued client, I felt more like a number with different invoices to pay.
After years of struggling, trying to ask them to let my off the final 500 GBP because of the service they provided who was not good. I decided now to pay the rest, cause only a court hearing would have given me any possibility, but I have enough. If possible I would not have given any star for my experience with this company, I can only speak about my experience with the office in Liverpool and the family lawyer there . If my lawyer would have informed me about some important facts, I learned in court from the judge, the outcome for me would ave been so different. And I would have saved a lot of money emotional and financial pain. Never again Maxwell and Hodge , not helpful , only after the money
