March 22, 2020A shambles, do not use this solicitors at any cost. They don’t care about customer satisfaction, they will not defend you, I had to do my own research and give the solicitor advice on how to proceed. Useless

March 23, 2019Mr Ward of Smith Partnership stated, in writing, to a relative that high court enforcement disbursements in his case would be limited to ?75.00. My relative took Mr Ward at his word.

March 23, 2019They have no customer service skills, arrogant & if you want a return on your investment with debt recovery you have to say at the beginning of the contract as otherwise they won??t know- they said this to me!!! I wouldn??t use them again if they were the only law firm in the world!

March 23, 2018totally unreliable, this is a firm that you should not trust ! we agreed a price for a lease, and 2 days before signing they doubled it.
