Pls avoid

Please avoid this firm pls as they are extremly homophobic and there solicitors are not confident enough when it comes to speaking to a judge instead they end up being petrified and how you want them to represent you they dont and end up making a huge mess and they should make an client happy they end up making you feel like your a failure which should not be the case and even exposed my new location which they never should of even when police said not to and very selfish and all they worry about is money my solicitor has mad me feel is stressed and miserable and me by represtenting myself i did a better job and now i have a firm that is very experienced in the case they dealing with one more thing these people are usless

Totally inept

Since Anna sidlow took over my case,just after the first lockdown,I have never fealt more frustrated in my life.
The final straw came when my friend took some Christmas presents in to my ex’s solicitors and she told my friend that my ex had accepted my proposal for contact and sent an e-mail to my solicitor early November,yet she didn’t come back to me till about a week
Before Christmas

Worse solicitor I've ever had to use

This review is for a different branch.

I've instructed this firm to put a non molestation order in for me, only to make a right mess of it, stumbling his words, had no evidence to hand, truly unprofessional and lost me my case. Very dissapointed

Appalling service

This review is for a different branch.

18 month hearing in court family matter. No communication or call back from solicitor, no updates from solicitor threw all proceedings. Always changing solicitor/barrister everytime I go to court. Just very poor service its like they just don't care. Not sure if it's because I was getting legal aid and my particular solicitor saniya couldn't care less and literally ignored all communication from me, I bet if I was paying privately to this firm I would rexieve all more care and communication from them. Personally I would stay well away from this firm. Utter negligence in my opinion.

I am extremely grateful for the help I received from Aneka Shoukat.
Thanks to her I have now been given the chance to re-build my relationship with my Daughter. I came into these precedings not expecting much and was apprehensive at first.
Aneka never judged me and immediately made me feel at ease from the first conversation I had with her.
Many thanks I am extremely Grateful.

Amazing service

This review is for a different branch.

From start to finish I felt that Makin Dixon really cared about my case. They did everything they could to keep me updated with what was happening, and were efficient and organised. They 'bent over backwards' to make the whole court journey as painless as possible and really showed I was important to them. Although I did not get the outcome that I wanted Makin Dixon did everything they could against an antiquated court system. Aneka and Jane were amazing!!

This review is for a different branch.

I’ve used Makin and Dixon on a number of occasions over the years for a children matter , I find them reliable and professional and trustworthy, my solicitor was Aneka Shoukat she’s a credit to the company, I’ve suffered with domestic abuse and I had no confidence when I first met with her but now she’s given me the strength and confidence back, she’s helpful caring and she understands you without no judgement she’s not just a solicitor but she was more like a friend, she’s helped me get the justice I deserved. I would 100 percent recommend Makin and Dixon for a great communication fast approach, Thank you once again to Aneka Shoukat

Child arrangement order

This review is for a different branch.

Going to court to keep an existing court order in place in my experience is a daunting and anxious time. Aneka Shoukat from Makin and Dixon solicitors made this a whole lot easier with her professionalism, knowledge and reassurance. She represented me at court and was nothing short of amazing. We got the right and fair outcome with no tangible change to the existing court order in terms of live with and actual quality time I spend with my daughter. Very satisfied with my matter to which Aneka at Makin and Dixon handled supurbly.

Fantastic team!!

This review is for a different branch.

This past year has been extremely difficult and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without makin Dixon’s. They have given me advice and support during my court proceedings over child arrangements with my ex partner. Everyone who I have spoke with have been extremely helpful, and now because of makin Dixon’s am able to move on with my life.
