Recently used Amicus law for conveyancing and couldn't have been happier with the service! It needed to be a quick sale due to the stamp duty changes and they were of course extremely busy as everyone was trying to beat the March 31st deadline. The whole process was very efficient, the team were friendly and professional at all times and when there was a slight difficulty from the purchasers solicitors Amicus handled the matter quickly and gave me very clear advice on how to proceed.
Although you may not be able to speak to someone when you call they will always call you back in a relatively short time, emails were also responded to within 48 hours. I will definitely use their services again!

A representative from Amicus Law Solicitors responded to this review on 31 March, 2025:

Dear Paula, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you were happy with our conveyancing service, especially during such a busy period. Our team always strives to provide efficient, professional, and friendly support, so it’s great to know we met your expectations. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re pleased we could guide you through the process smoothly. If you ever need our services again, we’ll be more than happy to assist. Best wishes Amicus Law

I recently used Amicus law for the conveyancing on both the sale of my property and purchase of another. Emily, Chrissy and Georgia couldn't have been more helpful througout the process. Due to my work pattern they pulled out all the stops to allow me to move in quite a tight time frame. The communication was brilliant throughout and it was never difficult to get hold of them. The price charged for the entire service was reasonably priced and competitive with no hidden costs. I would highly recommend the team at Amicus in Bridgwater to anyone seeking conveyancing services.
