Unbelievably good communication and service from Janet-Elaine Walker

Janet-Elaine was exceptional throughout the whole transaction for my property. I was constantly kept in the loop regarding progress and no stone was left unturned. The face to face and phone call conversations I had with Janet-Elaine were extremely detailed and precise. I’d recommend her to anybody.

Worst law firm

Totally unprofessional considering they have been dealing with my late aunts probate since 2018 and to this day after changing the initial lawyer to the partner and head of the private client department, things went from bad to worse. You would think a more senior member of the team will be more professional but it’s been more of a headache getting any support. It’s now 6years since appointing them and 50k in payments of this appalling service, wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. I made a complaint to their grievances department a few month back and am still awaiting a response as they disregarded it and carried on like normal. Worst experience ever.

Legal advice omitted important information

Legal advice, omitted and it was disconcerting to later discover that a number of statutes were not highlighted. Charged for unseen draft/final document repagination.

Liz Orman, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with my divorce. It was a very stressful time, but she helped me get through the legal side. It took nearly two years to finalise, without Liz's expertise I would have struggled. Thank you again.

During my initial discussion with with him, Mr Heselton impressed me as factual and competent. Had I decided to pursue the matter I would have had no hesitation to entrust the matter to Mr Heselton.

Traumatic experience

Avoid at all costs! Utterly appalling, this is the worst law firm we have ever dealt with and was a traumatic experience. The service was extremely poor, and the solicitor made repeated errors during the process which we needed to do her job to check all legal documents to rectify her mistakes, bad communication, withheld the key document/information without passing to us until we found out, etc. Refused to follow their own complaint procedure, and deliberately sent the correspondence to the old wrong address which resulted in us not knowing a CCJ being issued under our names, while the complaint was still pending! Unprofessional solicitors, all they want is your money without any duty care. We have escalated them to the Legal Ombudsman who ruled that there has been some unreasonable service from Vanderpump that requires remedy. Do not recommend to anyone!
