Contacted this Company after receiving a recommendation. 5* Service all around. I cannot fault the advice, assistance and support I received from all the team at Williscroft & Co. Most notable for mention are Stephanie and Louise. Efficient, helpful and empathetic staff is what you can expect if you contact this company. Absolutely recommend their services.

Go to makin and Dixon, these are happy to take your money but half arsed represent you, takes them 2 weeks to return a phone call, they are on annual leave every other week with the money you poor people are giving them to write letters. Absolute joke of a firm.

I want to thank everyone at Williscroft Solicitors for their support and kindness to me during the most stressful time of my life. It was a long legal battle of more than two years but Lucy, Shona and Stephanie were always there to discuss my worries and concern. Luch has always been very supportive and explained the legal matters very clearly to me. I highly recommend Williscroft to everyone for their legal struggles. They also provide Legal Aid which is a blessing for people struggling financially.

Report
Shocking is an understatement. I was on legal aid and in a messy custody battle for my children. Basically never listened to, critical documents never filed before the court and as a result my children placed into long term foster care. No empathy and treated like a second class citizen. Avoid at all costs

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Value Do not employ. Nearly 2 years to get a divorce. They have no idea what they are doing to say family law is their bread and butter if you employ them prepare to do all the work yourself.
