I was charged 3 times what I was told by my Solicitor their service would cost. I only used them because of their initial quote as I was trying to keep cost down.
I was charged for emails they sent chasing Solicitor's when I didn't tell them to chase Solicitor and sometimes more than one chasing email was sent in a day. I would not recommend them.

I am dyslexic so extra time was taken to explain the process. I don’t feel that you could improve your service 100% professional and reliable.

Claire immediately came across as very friendly, and also very responsive to our query – wills are not necessarily something you want to think about, but are obviously necessary and we found her to be very approachable and tactful when dealing with a somewhat difficult subject. She put us at ease and made it a very easy process overall, guiding us with her knowledge and experience and answering any questions we may have had. She was also great at keeping us up to date with progress and completed everything very promptly, which for us was great as it meant yet another thing ticked off our somewhat never ending life admin We were very satisfied with the level of service provided, and would have no doubt in thoroughly recommending her to others (and in fact already have done!).

This review is for a different branch.
From my first conversation with Melanie Hartley to the last over 2-years later, she struck the perfect balance between giving clear, pragmatic and professional advice whilst also showing the kindness and compassion I needed as I went through the most stressful time of my life; going through a divorce whilst raising two young children. Melanie always provided legal advice with clarity, setting out my options (and the financial cost of these) in a way I could process, and was always happy to answer my many questions.
Communication via email was timely and detailed and, when needed, I was able to organise phone calls at a mutually convenient time around my busy work schedule and family life. Melanie worked on my divorce and financial separation, securing my Decree Absolute and court-approved Consent Order, and also provided me with advice on children matters as needed. She also guided me on when to seek external support and advice, such as mediation; her contacts and professional relationship with them made the process much smoother and gave me the reassurance that I was getting sound advice and support.
I cannot thank Melanie enough for all she has done; although of course I have paid for a legal service that I am very happy with, I think it is always the way we are treated as people that stays with us in life. I would highly recommend Melanie, and Rucklidge Law Limited, to anyone.

Navigating my way through my divorce would have been impossible without Melanie guiding the way. Always prompt and on point with her advice, Melanie made me feel safe and secure at a very difficult time.

I recently used Rucklidge Law to write a set of Wills for me and my wife. The process was really straightforward, and Claire Trueman was very friendly and put us at ease immediately. Even though we were talking about an emotional subject, we worked through it really quickly and felt immediate relief that we had finally sorted it out. We had one zoom meeting and everything else was done by email. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rucklidge Law to anyone looking to get their Will sorted out - thanks Claire!

Thank you so much for your kind words Ashley, glad that you have your Will sorted and you're happy with it, Claire x

Rebecca Baker was knowledgeable and supported me with a challenging family law situation. Her care is evident and she makes even complex things understandable. Rebecca followed up with information and contacts that could support me too. I would highly recommend Rebecca when it comes to family law.

Fantastic solicitors. I used Jill in 2018 for as the solicitor for my divorce, and when contacting her by email 6 years later for some copies of paperwork she replied on the same day and sent the paperwork out to me by post. Absolutely amazing service both then and now, and would highly recommend to anybody.
