Just Awful

Just referred my complaint about LD to the Legal Ombudsman. Instructed them in March 2022 via our LV legal cover insurance. Case has just concluded in September 2023 and unfavourably for us. Not quibbling the outcome but boy am I quibbling how LD have strung this matter out simply heightening our stress and anxiety. The last 18 months or so of our lives have been spent micro-managing LD to do their job. Plus when the Case Handler rang my husband to inform him that the company we were pursuing for compensation had put themselves into liquidatin hence no chance of us recouping our £10k losses, the Case Handler ended the call saying: ''Have a lovely day''. I kid you not. LD= Soul Destroying.

Zero communication with a very very poor company

I was not from behind by a car trying to undertake me as I was turning left. I supplied dash cam footage - which only showed my forward movement however clearly showed me turning left and with my indicator going. One policeman on the scene commented that the other driver had clearly tried to undertake me. Passing on my left as I was turning left!

The other party solicitors are disputing liability - hardly unexpected - and this company have not pushed back - I even think the person handling has left the company!

Avoid these clowns they are completely inept.

Inadequate service

This review is for a different branch.

Went through home insurance policy to make a claim. They were inadequate to deal with claim I persuade. They only provided a case handler who worked more for the other side than support the victim. Otherside illegally damaged my property but this firm of solicitors were not strong enough to rectify my claim. I had a really strong case but they failed to act upon all my evidence. Also, failed to communicate and failed to adhere to their own policies and procedures. Do not attempt to use Lyons Davidsons solicitors or go through your home insurance. Stay clear from this firm if solicitors. If I could give a Nil star on this review I would.

Useless, time wasting and ineffective.

This review is for a different branch.

Husband was injured when a car sideswiped him by a driver who failed to stop at a red light, insurance company retained LD as injury compensation lawyers and after two years the best they can come up with is £260. The original claim was for a month off work, deep tissue bruising, shock and ptsd. The accident wrote off our new car and kicked it across the junction with the force of the impact.Their doctor spoke very little english, got the injuries wrong, refused to see the injury photos and dash cam footage, which apparently was not acceptable. This is still ongoing and its been a total disaster. If you are unfortunate to be in an accident and the insurance company retain these clowns to deal with it, refuse and ask for a different company.

Absolutely awful

This review is for a different branch.

I had my personal injury claim transferred to Lyons Davidson after it was dealt with by another solicitor. For the almost 12 months they "worked" on my case they lied to me, tried to bully me into accepting their poor advice, were unable to put together a list of expenses without major typos, proved to be unable to compare 2 documents and spot the inaccuracies, forced me to see the same expert again after I complained about his professionalism and expertise to Premex and GMC, treated me like I was an idiot, gaslighted me and even replied to my complaint trying to make me look like I was the problem. I did not get once to speak to a solicitor, every communication was with a paralegal and I had no contract with them as they were picked by my insurance. They treated me like they were working for free.
When I finally put together a list of all the false statements in the medical report, they withdraw from my case because I allegedly insulted them when I asked them if they intend to go to court with a false medico-legal report.

Waste of time

This review is for a different branch.

Waste of time, using google is more effective
I received support from this legal company through my insurance, and both were highly ineffective in providing any real advice or taking action. Every time I asked for help, their response was that it wasn't within their scope, they weren't authorized to give personalized advice, or that the situation was too complex to resolve. They repeatedly suggested giving up, and before offering any of this unhelpful 'advice,' they quoted fees of around £8,000, supposedly covered by insurance. In reality, they provided absolutely no useful guidance and only offered vague, generic statements. I found more helpful information on Google than through this Mickey Mouse legal service. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for legal assistance.
According to LD comments for my review, they took on my case and worked with me for a month, all while knowing they would not be able to assist me. Despite this, they still intend to charge for their "support".

Car Collision Court Case

This review is for a different branch.

I was appointed a Solicitor from Lyons Davidson a Mindy Samra by my Car Insurance Company, Liverpool Victoria to help me prepare for my Court Case.
Mindy was efficient, professional, and excellent in explaining to me what I needed to do and what was expected of me when I would have ti attend court. I am extremely grateful for all the help she gave me. It made a daunting experience much easier.

Shocking handling of personal injury claim

This review is for a different branch.

Other driver collided with me while I was stationary at lights. Very little communication, kept asking the same questions and eventually starting to discuss with other solicitors many months after the medical report received. Now strongly recommending I drop it and. It offering any support at all. Do not even consider using this firm, total incompetence and unprofessional

The communication skills of a table leg

This review is for a different branch.

Two years so far and not a lot of movement. The communication skills are definitely not good. Can never get through to the person who is dealing with my case. Can’t even get through to the next person in line when the main case handler is away. They seem to be in a constant meeting of one sort or another.

Poor Case Management for Personal Injury Claims

This review is for a different branch.

I had an accident in August 2021. The police were satisfied that the 3rd party was at fault. However, to date, Lyons Davidson has failed to obtain the Police report from the accident.

Because of their failures, a couple of weeks ago, after reviewing the dash cam footage on my car, they , without any justification attempted to apportion blame on me. Despite numerous concerns over the handling of my case, they have also failed to commence an internal investigation.

I have now lodged my complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Legal Ombudman as my case will be time barred in 6 months.
