I used Woodfines Solicitors when I was made redundant and were very good at explaining the full document and were very proactive with both myself and my old employer. Communication and the speed of responses was very fast and efficient, all in all an excellent experience. 10/10

Report
Pleasant, but very cold and informal. Wouldn't recommend. I felt like I had to beg people who entered into power trips due to this pandemic and uncertainty due to this virus. I hope the next person who vist, will get a more friendly person who able to help and make us feel confident in their services. Im sorry to say I didn't get that when I rang to ask for legal help as i was desperate and i didn't know what to do for the best.

Taking into account all aspects of their service I can give no points in communication accuracy, responding, being accurate, providing documents or on time, dismissive, diversity is an issue, mistakes, looking after your interests. Senior partners and head of departments give you a metaphoric finger if you raise a concern and dont bother even responding. Not just "not very good", but they really don't care, a real eye opener to the reality of what a law firm can get away with, a firm 0/10
