Clear, professional and fast service

Emmerson Solicitors provided me with conveyancing service when purchasing a property. From start to finish all team was approachable, responsive and very professional. My questions were always answered, requests accommodated and all process went very smoothly with regular updates provided to me. All communication was done online very efficiently (email, MS Teams and phone), visit to the office was only needed for witnessing the signatures (upon my request as I needed this service). I would certainly use Emmerson Solicitor's services again.

Appalling service and extremely rude staff

As an estate agent, I have worked with this company for years but following a mass exodus of the helpful staff I can honestly say they are now the worst solicitors I've ever dealt with. Never any call backs, literally no way to actually communicate with a solicitor, tasks taking months to complete rather than weeks and quite frankly extremely rude and unprofessional responses when you do finally hear from them. Avoid at all costs if you actually want to complete on your house sale/purchase.

Lee Gilder so unprofessional, waster

We have worked with Lee from Emmersons Solicitors on a number of conveyancing cases. At first they were very responsive as you would expect any professional firm to be.

After a while they stopped keeping us informed on the progress of our deals - our emails would be ignored in some cases for a whole week or longer. Phone calls not answered and no call backs. We have also experienced some unpleasant attitude when pushing for updates.

To summarise, they are capable of doing the work, however, if you want to stay informed on the progress of the deal, not be ignored by your solicitor and not to experience occasional rudeness, we would advise looking elsewhere. In the end even the director Michael Robinson was rude enough to let us know they no longer want to hear from us.

Exceptional service from start to finish. Michael Robinson handled my case representing me at Magistrates Court. I found Michael's depth of understanding and communication style effective and reassuring. Overall, an excellent, cost-effective service, I would highly recommend Emmerson's.

Without a doubt we will be recommending Jill and Emmersons to friends and family.

Huge thank you to Jill Waddle who has been fantastic during our house purchase. What is normally defined as one of the most stressful times in your life has been effortless and easy thanks to Jill. She has responded to our queries profesionally and promptly and kept us in the loop at all times. We cant thank her enough. She is a credit to Emmersons. Thanks again.
