Report
Absolutely shocking service. Any family matters, I would recommend going direct access, do your research. Simple forms that were filled in by 'professional lawyers' were incorrect, even after giving them a full written chronology. Invoices are always full for missed phone calls, charged at 20 odd pounds and other so called services not recieved. So much so that you will probably have to get intouch with the legal ombudsman. Benussi seem to think that they can charge to an extortionate amount of money for an extremely poor service. An absolute waste of time and money! I wouldn't even give them 1 star!

I highly Benussi & Co as whilst i was going through a very distressing divorce they were very supportive and reassuring at all times. Having consulted with other legal firms i have found Benussi & Co to be by far the best service. I particularly would like to mention Helen Benussi for always going that extra mile when circumstances were very difficult i found her very caring and positive. I honestly believe i would not have got the outcome i did without Helen and her amazing team. Worth every penny.

I had an extremely difficult case to handle, in the most testing of circumstances, and through very emotive times, I was guided expertly by the Benussi team. I recommend them highly - very professional, and honest about the potential outcome of my case. There are no winners when you go to court, so I just wanted the best of outcome, and the freedom to move forwards when it was all over. I got that. Thank you Benussi team.

I have had multiple dealings with Benussi & Co over the years and without their help i would have been lost. I have always been made to feel welcome, their expert knowledge and experience is extremely comforting. The nature of their business means that when they have to be stern they can but there is always a helping hand to guide you through and tough times. 100% recommend. Thank you.
