Health-related exit from business

From the very first meeting, the advice received was clear, straightforward and extremely practical. I was kept fully aware of every development and the matter dealt with directly by Ben. He had a proactive and refreshingly commercial and pragmatic approach and was supportive and reassuring during a very difficult time. Daniel was very organised and responsive and ensured that the final stages of the transaction concluded successfully. Thank you so much both for your work and guidance. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Excellent communication

Sold 5 properties through this company in two years, simply an excellent service throughout the
whole process.
And, I've used quite a few over the year, highly recommend them, notwithstanding, their fees are
more than reasonable for their high levels of service .

Excellent service

Would like to say a big thank you to Neah Kanda at the Harrogate Road Leeds branch of Ison Harrison. She sorted a grant of probate for me after my Father had passed away. I was so stressed out by trying to sort this out that when I spoke with Neah she put my mind at ease. Such a helpful young lady who explained everything to me & kept me informed every step of the way.

Stay Well Away, Especially from Rachel Warsop!

I still have not had any form of acceptable resolution and this is almost 2 years in!

Where do I start, this company managed to only transfer half of a property, despite confirming in writing that they understood what needed to be transferred. Rachel Warsop, one of the partners, then went radio silent, refusing to respond to emails goading me to use the ombudsman, knowing that it would take an age to get any sort of response. To make matters worse, when I logged a complaint about Rachel, the person assigned to deal with with the complaint within the firm, was Rachel!

The whole ISON Harrison setup is questionable and certainly far from the professional legal practice you would hope. The standard of service I received, I would have been better to have carried out the transaction myself. I would urge anyone to go as far away as possible from this firm as they are not capable of the simplest of transactions.

This company gives solicitors a bad name.

Very helpful & professional

I approached Neha to make a will. She offered advice and made appropriate suggestions. She also suggested it may be beneficial to put some other legal protections in place but there was no hard sell, just professional advice presented very clearly.
She was very efficient and a pleasure to deal with.

Having just moved home and used Ison Harrison in Otley for our conveyancing, I can confidently recommend them as solicitors in this field. In particular, Lorna Stringwell, who dealt with both our sale and purchase, was always friendly, polite and professional and bent over backwards to ensure we were into our new home within an ambitious time-frame. Lorna responded to all my questions in a timely fashion and her reassuring presence really took the stress out of the whole process. I would definitely use Ison Harrison of Otley again in future and would not hesitate in recommending them to friends and family. Thank you so much for all your work, to everyone who was involved with our move.

About this branch

Description

We’ve all got a story of where we have come from, who we are and what makes us tick. This is ours. Over the past 45 years the firm has grown from a one man band to what is now a large regional law firm employing over 330 staff across 20 offices throughout Yorkshire. We offer the broadest suite of legal services in the region and are very much embedded in the communities in which we have offices. Whilst some of the growth has been facilitated through acquiring other smaller firms, most has been organic as a consequence of clients recommending us or returning for additional services. As you can see the firm has enjoyed substantial growth over the past decade. We have always taken the view that standing still as a business is not an option for us. We have seen many law firms either go out of business or reduce in size over the years and we were determined not to struggle in the same way. We have therefore constantly looked to improve. We have looked for opportunities to grow our profile, the number of our offices, and the breadth of services that we offer. We have looked for ways to improve our internal processes, employee engagement and how we deal and communicate with clients. All partners and managers recognise the importance of communication and set the tone within the firm employing honest, open and prompt communication with clients and colleagues alike.
