First class service with a smile

Scarlet is so personable, so efficient and so professional. She is an excellent advocate for her firm. She overcame an initial lack of communication when we contacted Talbots and won us over with her efficiency delivering everything she promised on time.

Great Support from Katie Wager

Myself and my family had a long struggle for 18 months, however the support that i received from Katie made the experience bearable.
I was listened too, kept in regular contact throughout the whole process.
Katie was able to interpret my thoughts and wishes to exactly what i wanted and eased any nervousness that i had along the way.
I would 100% recommend not only the solicitor firm as a whole but if you were to have Katie represent you, then i can assure you that you would have no issues.

Excellent service

I came into contact with Talbots following a referral through another solicitor. Adam Pike the Deputy Head of Dispute Resolution came to assist me with brokering a deal. Adam was decisive, proactive and professionally assertive to the other side. Adam within a relatively short time frame, achieved a resolution, giving me an outstanding outcome.

I would highly recommend Adam and Talbots of Worcester, should you require the need for any legal service. Adam is an obvious expert in the corporate legal industry, explaining clearly the outcomes, risks and processes, ensuring I was fully informed. I had a outstanding experience with him and I will always remain thankful

Excellent Service

I found out about talbots law through a family member and my chosen solicitor was a lady named Michelle Guest she was very friendly and highly charismatic and I could not have recommended her enough she was very professional and really understanding of the case that I was part of and a 5 star rating is well and truly deserved

Excellent Advice

Parris was friendly and informative in all of my dealings with her. She gave me clear and full advice, and even visited me in hospital with documents to sign when I was ill. My wife and I will definitely be using Talbots, and hopefully dealing with Parris, in the future.

My experience with Talbots law / Michelle guest

When I contacted Talbots law I was very distressed and was met with a warm, calm and welcoming approach by the team. I felt they were very supportive and that they listened to my needs and adapted to ensure my unique needs were met. The team supported me with a personalised approach through every stage of the process and through to the final court hearing and were sensitive throughout. They appeared to have the knowledge, skills and experience to support me through the legal process whilst being sensitive about my mental well-being.

**DO NOT USE**

They say purchasing a house is one the most of stressful things you can do and using Talbots did nothing but add to the stress.

My Conveyancer (note you won't get a solicitor) lost my queries for three weeks, and then tried blaming the trainee, despite the emails being addressed to the conveyancer.

I had to repeatedly chase for updates, with some 'updates' being one sentence with absolutely no substance.

I received numerous out of office messages with no return date but with an alternative contact, who would also be out of the office.

I tried to escalate to the director of the Edgbaston branch and he was equally as unhelpful, if he actually bothered to reply.

They requested draw down of funds with the mortgage provider to then find a fault with a Fire Risk Assessment that they'd had in their possession for three months, so the purchase nearly fell through and it was only rescued by myself putting in the work and making phone calls to get the Fire Risk Assessment updated.

At one point they asked how i would like to proceed on a legal matter with zero advice or background!! I'm not a solicitor so why was I expected to answer a legal query?

They constantly provided the wrong fees and at one point disregarded the fact that I had already transferred my deposit to them and so tried charging me for that amount as well on the completion statement.

They are completely disorganised, unhelpful, are not proactive, frustrating and ultimately made the purchase an absolute nightmare from start to finish.

Holly and all the staff at Talbots have been superb throughout the whole process.
At the first meeting Holly was able to put us at ease and we were reassured that this whole complicated process was in very capable hands. She was clear about the costs and timings of the process which turned out to be exactly as set out.
She has been a great support and always responded quickly to any enquiries we had.
I am really happy to be able to recommend Holly as a very safe pair of hands to help alleviate the stresses of these legal procedures. Thank you Holly.

Elizabeth (my solicitor) was an absolute asset to my personal injury case. She took over the case from another caseworker and got her teeth stuck in straight away, always going above and beyond her duty to help! She was patient when life events were tricky for me and with my Dyslexia (of which I cannot thank her enough). To top it all off, she trusted me in the process, listening to my needs to make sure her service was meeting my expectations. My car insurance solicitors wanted to go 50/50 on the claim but she only went and won it for us! Thank you Elizabeth for everything! I would highly recommend that people use Talbots Law Solicitors and I will be using them again if I need to in the future :)

Kim is incredible solicitor! She was recommended to me by more than 5 people and for a good reason. Home buying process can be very stressful and hard to navigate, but Kim and the team made sure to keep me updated, was very responsive and helped resolve many enquiries. As we approached a very tight schedule, Kim was following up with all the parties involved to make sure we complete in time. The team was very thorough and quick to respond to any queries. Thank you so much for all your help! I would be lost in the process without you!
