From start to finish, creation of my Will was easy and painless. The service I received from Lyons Bowe was excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services in future.

Excellent service.

I am only in the early stages of selling my property but would thank and praise Abi in particular for her fast paced and efficient work in progressing this matter. If the rest of the process goes as well, I will be delighted.

Absolutely fantastic!

Lauren,

We cannot thank you enough for making the whole experience as clear and as smooth as possible. From someone who has never been in the middle of the chain before, Lauren was clear and thorough throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions (including the ones that were probably daft) and was always at the end of a phone to clarify anything I wasn’t 100% on. She was so efficient with communication and even better with all enquiries, asking questions I would never of even thought of, as well as asking other solicitors for more information on answers received.

Lauren, Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Excellent Solicitor Experience

I am selling my house and my initial experience with Lyons Bowe solicitors is a positive one. Being able to complete forms and receive information electronically is a very convenient process; their communications either by telephone or email has been superb, theit points of contact have been prompt in response and polite. Their website is a pleasant experience to view and use.
Overall, it has been a very stress free experience.

New Instructions team are friendly and efficient.

The onboarding from the New Instructions team was quick, friendly and efficient. The app has not been quite as useful as I'd hoped, and I'm really not sure about the split into 3 different stages for each case, as we're buying and selling that's 6 different people as main contacts... but this review is only for part 1 as that is 'complete' and that part was pretty good.

I took advantage of the 'Will Aid' scheme and Lyons Bowe to produce a Will for myself. The whole process was surprisingly easy and efficient. Full marks to the team at Lyons Bowe (Shepton Mallet and at Frome) for their professionalism, friendliness and excellent service.

I got my will written with the help of Will Aid through Lyons Bowe and I was really happy with the consultation and service as a whole. Lauren was very thorough and covered all bases, and the rest of the team that I encountered were all very polite, helpful and professional. Would highly recommend.

Holly's experience...

Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
