Denise,

The sale of my house was dealt with very efficiently. We had a few small problems which were handled very well and quickly by Stephanie and so the sale was completed professionally and without any undo delays.

We completed a house purchase for the first time today and have been so impressed with Emma Gould from Best Solicitors. She has been thoughtful with her advice, incredibly friendly and easily contactable throughout the entire process, but above all extremely generous with her time which has made us feel heard and supported. If we had questions, she was attentive and did not make us feel silly for asking about something we didn’t know. Where there were hiccups or complications with the chain, Emma made sure we were happy and sorted everything out for us. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

I booked to make a will - didnt know where to begin, what to do or the ins and outs. Alicia was really helpful and friendly. Broke everything down if I didnt understand certain terms, explained what I needed to do and now have my will, which will give me & my family, a piece of mind. Fantastic service from the initial telephone query to completion. Highly recommended

From the initial contact with Alicia we were given enough information and help to be confident that this was the right choices for our family.
We were so impressed that after my mum was dealt with so good we also used Alicia to do what we needed also.

Feras,

We have used Stephanie’s services as FTB and we are very delighted with the service we received.
We went through 2 properties before settling on our home and Stephanie has been helpful throughout.
Professional, patient with very quick response time, she always answered our questions thoroughly and clearly without any hesitation or delay.
When it came to the completion date, everything ran exceptionally, with a very smooth step-by-step process.
We highly recommend Stephanie’s service to any buyer. You will be in safe hands.

Just completed a will during free will month by leaving a donation to charity.
Best Solicitors made this a very simple process and great to use a satelite office in Stocksbridge without having to go into town. Ellie was very friendly and she explained everything fully. Would definately recommend.

A huge thank you to the Conveyancing team at Best Solicitor. Their communicative, calm and friendly approach has helped keep along and complex sale on the right track to a successful Completion. A special thank you to Kerrie in their Sheffield office and Emma, in their Barnsley office who worked tirelessly together to keep the information following each step of the way. A big relief to have the team at Best supporting us at this emotional and stressful time. Thank you.

Absolute joke, not professional organisation what so ever!
I filled in the enquiry online form and was ignored, after several weeks, still no response!
I called up and enquired about will writing on the telephone, I was booked an appointment for 2 weeks away, for a “free consultation”. The only thing the staff member told me in the “consultation” was the price, then just told me “I can go away and think about it”, I just had 2 weeks to think about it and now we’re supposed to be doing something about it! There was no guidance given on next steps, refused to answer any general questions like “how much time do you estimate this will take from me?” And how do we move forward.
It appears no information was passed from my first call to my second call, other than my phone number, rending the whole experience an overwhelming waste of time.

Excellent service from Elizabeth and Chloe who helped me through 3 conveyancing transactions (2 which fell through) as a first time buyer. Really responsive to any queries I had and they were great at communicating with the other parties involved. Would definitely use again in the future. Thank you Chloe and Elizabeth and the rest of the team at Best Solicitors :)

Horrifying and disgusting experience using the family solicitor for child access. I booked an appointment months notice in advance to travelling to Sheffield. I arrived for the meeting for the receptionist to bluntly tell me I won’t be seeing my solicitor as she’s not working. I responded that I have email correspondence and had flown escpecially from Belfast,
Northern Ireland. After the flapping, a junior appeared with a laptop with the solicitor on a voice call, she had “covid-19” in year 2024. If the meeting was
Going to take place over Skype it would
Of saved me hundreds of pounds travel and accommodation.
The advice what followed was a disgrace. It was given to me out of greed for long term monetary game. What sickened me the most was the solicitor basically advising me to admit to false allegations possibly incriminating and agree to supervised visitations, constantly saying “baby steps”.
She then told me she wouldn’t be attending the county judge meeting. At this point I dropped Best solicitors. I self represented and got what I was asking and fighting for within 2 months of going through the court. The advice given to me was a disgrace and also dangerous, given that many fathers have financially bankrupted themselves and took their own lives fighting such a sensitive, mentally exhausting process.
On self representing I recieved a phone call wanting to know the reasons why and it was all about Best solicitors not her representation, sharing the blame. I was told there would be a further bill to which I responded I sent the latest up to date bill weeks previous. When I asked for a breakdown of costs I received nothing.
Disgusted at what I experienced, at least Robin Hood wore a mask.

The truth is solicitors are normal people. We’re frustrated and delighted by the same things as you. The perception that solicitors are distant and difficult only prevents the most vulnerable people from seeking help – and that injustice troubles me deeply.
