As a result of family deaths, I had two properties to sell. When the time came to do so, both transactions were completed within a month and both dealt with professionally by Abbey. Even the one with exchange and completion on the same day.

Rothera Bray helped me through a very difficult position with regards to a serious traffic offence. Both Lindsey and Anton put my interests first, diligently walked me through and held my hand during the entire process. They are extremely professional and are subject matter experts. Lindsey in particular was excellent in keeping me informed and talking me through the various steps on route. It put me in a much more confident and comfortable place.

I got in contact with rothera bray solicitors after having 4 tacho driving offences,I spoke to Georgina who explained what the out come could be and told me honestly. I decided to get Georgina to represent me. From the min I rang hir she kept me in touch day to day even when she went on holiday she made sure that one of the other girls rang me to keep me informed she even spoke to my wife as she suffers from anxiety to set hir mind At ease. When I did go to court Georgina had arrange for Anton to represent me as he has 25/30 yrs experience in these feald. On meeting Anton he exsplaned every to me from start to finish and put my case forward and spoke on my behalf and a great job he done very happy as I was looking at a rather large fine which Anton manage to get it very low. So it was well worth using rothera bay and would definitely use them again if I had to. I will recommend them. Very professional. Thank you guys. Eddie

Probate

Engaged them to probate an estate in March 2022. The only reason we went through a lawyer was because we were not domiciled in the UK and wanted to put the application in correctly. Sent Rotheras all the requested information within weeks but heard very little from them even months later. Emails would be ignored and phone calls made internationally to check the update would have me informed that the lawyer would be returning to office three weeks later, he was on vacation, he was at a funeral!
When I pushed for a response as to what was holding the application up, I was told a bank was being unresponsive. I spent hours with the bank to resolve the issue. Months later, I was sent the application to sign before submitting, and to my dismay and horror the form had me domiciled in the UK! It was left to me to check the application and point out Rotheras’ error as they could not be bothered to check the application before sending it out to me to sign! The very reason for going through a lawyer was to prove our non UK domicile status!!! They were blasé about this major error! I was told I must provide documents to prove I inherited the Estate in the country I was domiciled in. I was given no help with regard to this and was left to research myself what documents/letters I would be the correct ones to obtain. After I paid a local lawyer his fees to obtain the suitable documents, Rotheras woke up and decided that they needed to engage an expert in the UK to see what documents I would need. I had to pay the local lawyer again to issue a different set of documents. The probate only came through after the two year deadline as Rotheras had sat on it for months! They then contacted me to ask me to take care of certain aspects of transferring assets to my name and gave me the excuse that the amounts were too insignificant for them to take care of this asset! This was false as the assets are sizeable! Another company reached out to me saying that the assets had now been placed in a Bear account because they never heard from Rotheras from March to November 2023! I will have to do a lot of extra work and take care of this involved issue after paying Rotheras their high fees. Rotheras refused to transfer the property assets to my name as they said they were too busy to do so! I had three partners reaching out to me as soon as I complained to them and wanted a fee reduction for a sloppy, inefficient and delayed job done by them. Not a single partner had checked on the slow progress or the errors on the application!
The firm is not competent and do not care about the application. They sure do care about their fees and making sure they charge london lawyer rates never mind their lack of effort!
I will be going to the Ombudsman as there are assets that Rotheras have refused to work on!
Why engage them if you can find another lawyer and save yourselves stress and delays, problems and exorbitant costs!

The very reason for employing a lawyer to submit the probate application was because we were not domiciled in the UK. The lawyer created an application for HMRC by ticking a box that said we WERE domiciled in the UK!
No responses or action for months on end by the firm and when I took 10 days to respond to a letter asking me for a ton of facts, they blamed me for the delay!
They insisted I deal with several companies myself in an effort to lessen their workload. They expected me to do the research for what is their job. I had to hand things on a platter to them. They charge premium fees for being a firm outside of London, not knowing their stuff and leaving you to handle any difficult issues. They had three partners trying to argue that their fees were appropriate for the work done but not one partner checked that the application to HMRC had the incorrect box ticked.
They asked me to engage a lawyer in my country of domicile and provide them with documents. Once I did that they asked me to redo the documents because they didn’t have a clue as to what they were doing. I had to pay the other lawyer his fees twice!

Just a few words to thank Rothera Bray Solicitors. I was looking at a 6 month ban for having too many points on my driving licence due to previous speeding offences. I contacted Rothera Bray as there was a potential case for extreme hardship if I lost my license. Rothera Bray took on the case and won. Thankyou to Chelsey and Anton who were excellent.

I highly recommend this company if you ever find yourself in a bit of trouble!

I have used Rothera Bray and do not usually leave reviews. My solicitor was Emily Sherwood she was fantastic.
