Seemed as thought they took their time with it. When it was eventually time to submit documents they missed some.

Called and talked to staff 3 times about probate, so kind of a sensitive time, no call back, so gave up and went elsewhere.

Very good at what they do but like the money before the job were most places would do the work then get paid, aware of what they do so taking a retainer is expected but not willing to proceed unless required payments a net after that.

My name is Barbara Mikolajczuk I do not recommend these lawyers to anyone when selling a house. Very poor communication, I called asking for the price of their service over the phone, I was given a very good price, but when the documents were sent to me, the valuable was higher by 200. My first buyer customer at the final trial withdrew so I paid full the price for their services because it was the final stage so it was fair.
My second buyer customer did not get a loan and it was the very beginning of the case. I called the lawyers to tell them that the buyer did not get a loan. A few days later I got a letter that I must pay for their 300 service is included in this photocopy of documents and the shipping fee. This is a joke. I have never seen anything like this before with any lawyers. When I called I was told that I should be thankful that I did not pay the full amount.
My question is for What should I be thankful? In the initial stages? I was literally informed about nothing. I do not recommend this law firm for people selling houses. Communication and the phone say a different price and you get the invoice with a different price.

I was having serious issues with the application for the EU Settlement Scheme. Williamsons Solicitors were there to assist me and Frances Ledbury specifically, gave me invaluable support and tips. Today I have received my settled status and couldn't be happier (and relieved) with the news. Highly recommend aid and professional/polite customer service.
