Horrific Experience

An absolutely awful experience with Tamara that made us stop using Amicus Law and move to another solicitor when buying our house.

Having had a call from Tamara and her shouting down the phone at me and not letting me get a word in regarding a matter that had previously come to light when we first purchased our property. Tamara reduced me to tears and then continued to shout at my husband put the phone down on him and then blame my husband. When asked for the recording of the call it could not be found! Surprise surprise.

If you are looking to use a solicitor give Amicus Law a miss unless you like to be verbally abused.

Marvellous experience with Nicholas Bevan

This review is for a different branch.

Nicholas Bevan was a great pleasure to work with. He is a great communicator and offered wisdom and some great suggestions to help speed things along and get things sewn up neatly. He is responsive and drafts everything correctly without me having to double check everything (which I have had to do when working with other firms). We dealt directly with him rather than via an assistant which is perfect - a first class service. Nicholas is knowledgeable, cultured and fun to deal with, which is welcome when you are in meetings talking about your own death! His enthusiasm, charm and warmth did not make the process longer or more expensive, just more enjoyable. We did estate planning, two wills and LPAs with him. I would highly recommend him and Amicus Law in Ilminster.

Last will and testimony of my daughter Laura

This review is for a different branch.

I needed a solicitor who could sort a last will and testament within 24hrs. I had rung many others in the area before I came across Amicus Law. None of them were able to help. As soon as I started the phone conversation with Amicus they were fully engaged. I was put through to Nicholas Bevan who was not meant to be working that day but was catching up with but was catching up with backlogged paperwork. He immediately fully engaged with me to get this across the line. Nick spent a long time on the phone with me going through all the details before visiting my daughter in Taunton hospital the following morning and finalising the paperwork. Nick is so approachable and has an amazing bedside manner. He explained everything in layman's terms so we could all understand. I would definitely use Nick and Amicus again.

Very disappointing...

This review is for a different branch.

Sadly not a good experience for land conveying - lack of communication throughout, (constant chasing required to find out what was happening for a simple land sale that took six months to go through due to continual errors), including wrong documents relating to different client being sent, and finally, no funds sent on completion of transaction (they forgot!).
Sadly - could not recommend. We hope our experience was unique.

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Amacus Solicitors for the sale of both our properties, and we couldn’t be more impressed with their exceptional service. We mainly dealt with Paul Foster, who was absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process. Paul was consistently professional, approachable, and went above and beyond to keep things moving efficiently. We also had the pleasure of working with Bill Osborne, who made sure we were looked after at every stage.

The process took around nine months, but Amacus were incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. We found ourselves in regular weekly contact with Paul and Bill, and their level of communication was far superior to that of our estate agents. They truly did everything in their power to ensure that both the sale of our properties and the purchase of our new one progressed as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We highly recommend Amacus Solicitors and can’t thank Paul, Bill, and the team enough for all their hard work. If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and dedicated solicitors, look no further.
5 stars all the way 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service, so it’s wonderful to hear that the communication and support throughout the nine months made a real difference. We’re grateful for your recommendation and the 5 stars! Should you need any assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. It was a pleasure working with you both!

Amicus Law Yeovil have acted on our sale and purchase recently. It has been a journey for several reasons outside of Amicus Law's control, however the team have provided assistance and guidance right from the start including dealing with an aborted sale. Our thanks go to Bill & Rob, who have kept everything moving forward and communicated very well.
