Very disappointing experience with conveyancing and planning issue at my home which I'm still resolving 4 years later

I want to thank Paul Lewis for the excellent work he has done. I know he has a lot of clients, his prompt responses, attention, advice and professionalism have meant a lot to me. He has worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome in my behalf, and I cant thank him enough.

In 2023 i was involved in a life changing car accident and i was represented by Paul Fretwell at George Ide Solicitors. I felt like I was in safe hands the whole time and I was guided through the entire process with his and the company's support. I can't thank them enough for all the work they have done, and i can't begin to describe how grateful I was to be able to work with them to receive my compensation. Thank you Paul and the team for the amazing work!

Paul Lewis was so helpful, friendly and quick to respond to me at every stage of my claim. I highly recommend him and his firm.

Paul Lewis was absolutely amazing, always professional and had my best interests in mind. I am extremely grateful for his services and could not be happier with the end result he helped me to achieve.

I dealt with Paul Lewis to help me get some compensation involving a traffic accident. He did a fantastic job within a year of the accident to get me my compensation and setting up plastic surgery arrangements for me. Will definitely be using this company again in the near future. 5 star

Can't thank Paul and his team enough for the exceptional service they provided me. My case was handled with professionalism from start to finish, and there was always someone there to support me whenever I needed it. George Ide and Paul should be the first port of call to someone in need of a personal injury solicitor, I can't recommend them enough!

I contacted George Ide LLP by recommendation when my husband was involved in a severe accident as a pedestrian almost 4 years ago. In the very early days Paul Fretwell visited me at home and was an immense support through what turned out to be a very difficult case. Paul immediately knew my husband's injuries were life-changing and throughout he dealt with it in the most holistic way possible, including instructing the best counsel and experts, to ensure the most positive outcome for us. Paul takes a practical and pragmatic, but supportive approach.

For the duration of our claim he was unfailingly responsive, always communicating legal detail clearly and concisely, which was important given my husband's cognitive restrictions and fatigue issues. We would absolutely recommend Paul and George Ide LLP to anyone dealing with the legal aftermath of a severe accident.

I turned to George Ide to help me deal with a complex Trust issue. The team were extremely helpful, professional and resolved the issue quickly. Very impressed

I asked for the services of George Ide primarily due to the injuries sustained from a serious injury, and Paul Fretwell/Karen Jenkins supported by Lizzy were amazing! They showed great empathy and worked wonderfully to secure me a good settlement, even with the bumps in the road, they never gave up. Since then I have also been provided great service by Nicholas Smith when purchasing our house, with support from Lara (very prompt service indeed!) and they continue to provide ongoing financial advice and support from John Atkinson and Sam/Clare The whole team are amazing, the communication is brilliant (even during evenings and weekends I received emails from them!) They are most friendly and accommodating, one of the best choices I have ever made was to seek their advice.

Thanks to Paul Fretwell of George Ide Solicitors my personal injury claim was dealt with very efficiently and effectively. Paul was a great asset to my recovery and the settlement achieved and I remain grateful for his hard work and sensitivity in handled my case. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing to resolve their legal issues.

I used this firm many times and I always find the team, in particular Aimee Ellery, very professional and collaborative ready to support us when we have challenges or questions. I recommend them!

We can't rate Nicholas Smith at George Ide highly enough. He was incredibly responsive and replied to our enquiries very quickly. He made the whole process of selling our property and buying our new home stress free. We strongly recommend him and the George Ide team.

Paul Fretwell, the personal injury claims lawyer from George Ide, represented me when I sustained a brain injury in an accident. I was extremely nervous about the process but he was excellent and set my mind at rest. He genuinely cares about his clients and their problems and pulls out all the stops to help. He successfully won my compensation claim for me. I would highly recommend Paul and this firm.
