Initially the solicitor was helpful and made promises. As time went on this was never fulfilled and in fact charged excessive fee's. I made it extremely clear 'not to carry out any work unless I agree' However, the solicitor took upon herself to continue and now I have a bill. I DO NOT recommend anyone to use Gately solicitors. The fee's charged are not clear with accurate details.

Unprofessional with exorbitant charges - no follow up; significant delays and no breakdown of charges provided. No response from solicitors or responses to complaints, no acknowledgment from senior partners. Unfair dealings causing financial losses. They were supposed to be managing probate and settlement of my mothers estate - it’s been over 6months and they are still holding onto funds from sale despite telling me twice they’re going to make interim settlements - that was more than a month ago after chasing them repeatedly. Now they’ve gone completely silent. The solicitor and partner don’t even answer or return calls; no customer service e at all! They’re disinterested and treat clients unfairly.
I’ve been left with no choice but to escalate to the solicitors regulator now. Hoping SRA sort it out, of course that’s even more delays and financial losses in the meantime.

Contacted Gateley regarding an article in the Daily Mail, Rory Lynch took on the case and the article was removed within the week. Rory and his team answered emails promptly and gave an amazing service.

Over the last few years, more so in the last few months, within a recent role i held I had the priviledge of working with Gateley Legal and being able to share knowledge across a multitude of areas. I met Claire Herbert through the Nottingham Panthers, in Slovakia, and then met again at a networking event.
Gateley have been a significant driver in sports over recent years and were recently the main support for the Common Wealth games. Gateley helped me and the team I have had keep one step ahead in some areas like with Safe Guarding, sporting governance, employment law and a multitude of other areas where I needed assistance.
I would definately recommend Gateley legal for anyone, not just sport, that needs a good sound judgement from a fabulous team that will support you through thick and thin.

I highly recommend Paul’s expertise, pragmatism and strategic approach. He is careful to understand exactly what you need and provide flexible and thoughtful solutions to achieve your goal whilst minimising risk and stress. I found Paul very approachable, open and warm, and his advice was always clear, practical and wise.

Mailin was great to work with. She quickly understood the project brief, exceeded the project delivery requirements by thinking creatively and flexibly, and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

Mailin was instrumental in meeting a crucial deadline. This was underlined not only by her incredible professional approach to the task but also by a clear understanding of effective client engagement.

Ruth and her team have advised us over a great many years providing expert, quick and practical/commercial advice. A key asset of using Ruth is not only her very strong experience and expertise but her ability to forge relationships not only internally at all levels but also with the enforcement and regulatory agencies which can be particularly helpful and is a real asset.

Fantastic service. After a bad experience with a solicitor when we bought our first home, Gateley Legal were fantastic. They keep you informed throughout the process, offer advice beyond what is expected and are extremely pleasant. Thank you to Alison and the team.

As first time buyers we found the process incredibly stress free especially as it was over the Christmas period. Alison & Sharon kept us well informed throughout the purchase and answered all of our questions promptly! We will definitely use Gateley again for any future house moves as the service was brilliant!

I am extremely happy with my experience of having such a supportive solicitor like Alison. It was a long 7-8 month hassle-free process from selling my old property to buying my new one. I genuinely believed that she gave me the hope and strength to continue ahead with the extremely long process and I will definitely recommend Alison to my other friends who are looking to buy/sell a property and I will for sure contact her again when I am in need of a solicitor.

Appreciate the service given to us regarding our move to Donaghadee.
Especially to Alison and Sharon for their professionalism with regards to regular communication and timely responses to all our queries throughout the whole process. We had occasions, during the process, with our house sale end with the lack of clarity, but were always relaxed with the service provided regarding house purchase.
Would thoroughly recommend Gateley Legal to any future house movers with regards to conveyancing.
Many thanks for the service provided.
