Taylor Emmet have helped me to obtain a compensation from my employer for an accident at work, free of charge, although the case was very difficult. The contact with the staff was very good. They were always helpful with the most incomprehensible issues and were very professional. Highly recommended!

Paul Fouad took the most immense care of my case for the time it took to bring it to a successful conclusion. The level of professionalism, expertise, compassion and support that Paul and his team showed throughout is immeasurable. I cannot speak highly enough of both the way I was treated and the resources Paul and T&E put at my disposal. I have no hesitation in recommending the Clinical Negligence department at Taylor And Emmet.

Nothing but good words for Taylor & Emmet Samantha Sims acted on my behalf in a clinical negligence case. Samantha is an unbelievably good solicitor but more importantly for me she is an amazing human being. She handled my case in the most professional and efficient way, whilst always remaining a kind and caring person. Do not hesitate to contact and enquire about the legal services available to you.

Samantha at Taylor and Emmet has acted on my behalf in a Clinical Negligence case. Throughout the long process she has always kept me fully informed, with compassion, understanding and clarity. Her persistence and clear professional judgement has resulted in me being offered a very satisfactory sum in settlement. I am hugely grateful to her and Taylor and Emmet, Solicitors.

Taylor & Emmet did an exceptional job on our Wills. As we don't live in the UK, a zoom meeting was arranged in which all questions were dealt with in a friendly, clear and efficient way. Oliver was knowledgeable and gave the meeting a professional but relaxed tone. The follow up paper work was done swiftly and given the circumstances of slow postal services nowadays, everything arrived in a timely manner. Taylor & Emmet solicitors are professional and reliable. Thank you. Uli and David

Opted to pay for the in house solicitor service with Redbrik when selling our property. Easy to use online platform to process documents. Regular updates regarding both sale of our property and our onward purchase which we decided to ask Taylor and Emmet to facilitate as well. Would definitely recommend and will use again if required.

I needed a sworn affidavit urgently as my license depended on it. The solicitor Sandra Kowalska was very prompt in her email replies. I was able to have it done very quickly and effortlessly. If 6 stars existed I would have rated it.

Received a professional service from John Green and his team at the Sheffield office. Covid restrictions meant that I was unable to attend the office in person. This was not detrimental to my case at all as communications were straightforward and concise. I would recommend Taylor and Emmet for clear legal advice and representation.

Report
Taylor and Emmet were very good ultimately and very reasonably priced but I found I had to push them quite a lot, or nothing happened. Also, there were a lot of staff in the team so it seemed I was constantly speaking to a different person and I found there were discrepancies between what one team member and another told me. That said, Taylor and Emmet are our family solicitors and we have been very satisfied with their service in the past so I would recommend them for any house sale too as there were no major issues.

Report
Buying a house through this company was incredibly stressful, we were almost completely in the dark as to what was going on from start to finish. Weeks would go by with no communication, then when we finally completed we were lumped with a bill (plus deposit) with no prior warning, it would have been helpful to have had a few days notice letting us know the final amount just so we could make sure our finances were in order. At this point (2 months after moving in) we are still waiting for all our documents to be sent and of course we haven't heard anything!

Having used Taylor and Emmet for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. They were incredibly professional, responsive to emails and kept us updated throughout our property transaction. Sarah, Sophie and Nathan were all brilliant and I would happily use them in the future.

I have never made a claim before but John & Rachel made the process really easy. They are very professional, they take time to explain the process at each stage to help you along the way. I would definitely recommend Taylor & Emmet and I would ask for John Green and Rachel to represent you, these have been fantastic from start to finish, thank you guys

Sold my property with T&E. They did their job well and were great value for money at the same time. Make sure you go with a reputable solicitors, preferably one with a physical office. We were waiting for the rest of the chains solicitors constantly, and they were the typical online only solicitors. I can recommend T&E for the legal aspects of selling your house.

Have used Taylor & Emmet twice in 2021 for conveyancing. Excellent service, very professional, the process moved along at a good pace and they were always available for a short telephone call. Will certainly use them again and would 100% recommend.
Conor Moss
I highly recommend Taylor and Emmet- they were the consummate professionals from our first meeting and throughout a long legal case. James was particularly tenanacious and skilled at each stage of the process. Thanks for everything you have done.
Bernadette Robinson
We received excellent service and communication, we wanted a what we thought would be a complicated freehold purchase which turned into a syndicate with all our neighbours, really happy it got resolved for us all easily in one go.
Diane Bailey
Kelly Gibson provided excellent legal advice and personal support in the context of a very complex employment matter. Moreover, she enabled me to achieve a very positive outcome and resolution to the matter. I was always treated with utmost respect and empathy by everyone dealing with my case. I have no hesitation in recommending Taylor Emmett/ Kelly Gibson to others.
