Latimer Lee Solicitors Limited Opiniones 214

Unprofessional, Overpriced and all out dissapointed.

After 6yrs and having paid over £15,000 in fees and invoicing for a further £10,000 I had no choice but to contact the Legal Ombudsman who took up my complaint (seems they handle quite a few from this particular firm)

They tried to charge me another £10,000 on top of my £15,000 for a standard 50/50 divorce and financial separation.

After complaining directly to them they reduced the additional £10,000 to £7,000 and after complaining again (they still couldn't tell me how this invoice was accumulated and the senior family department solicitor cancelling all 3 meetings I had in the diary for 'personal reasons') the Ombudsman man demanded them to revoke any more charges as they indeed were not acting in my best interests and confirmed I had been overcharged massively!

They were given a deadline of 14th April to pay back what was in my client account and send me my decree absolute and court order, which I still hadn't received despite it being granted over 14mths ago!

They still ignore emails and now I have had to contact the Ombudsman again to chase this matter up.

This firm have left me with an awful experience from being late to court hearings and telling complete lies about my case (they didn't know me and my exhusband still spoke) and were playing each other off using the other and blaming the other parties solicitor who in the end also complained about Latimer Lee being non efficient!

Honestly if I can give anyone any advice it would be to use another firm and save yourself thousands of pounds and years of time and worry!

Update 13.05.22 still chasing and no reply to my emails.

It was a good experience working with Debra, always available to have a chat and clarify my questions. Did through search for my propert purchase. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience using Latimer Lee solicitors. Mrs. Debra Woods in particular is very prompt, very good professional and has helped us a lot throughout the process. Thanks, Mrs. Woods! We will not miss the opportunity to highly recommend you.

All the work was very professional at all times
And all my questions were answered at the time

I am a portfolio landlord and as such I have used various conveyancers over the years. This is my third case with Latimer Lee. Sara B at Latimer Lee is absolutely excellent; professional, efficient and very client focussed and solely responsible for me using Latimer Lee as a preferred conveyancer.

Excellent, very faster

Thanks to Debra did a excellent job on this conveyance.
It was completed very quickly.

Do not use these people for Conveyancing. Our transaction was filled with inaccuracies - lost documents, waiting until the point of exchange to actually check the land registry (where a problem was found), impossible to get hold of solicitors, failing to ask for information needed, misspelt names in legal documents, and the final touch was being called after completion to say we still owed 3k! If you can actually get hold of them, you will never get a straight answer. One day we called their office 67 times. Run. Do not use them.

Dear Latimer,
First of all, I'm very thankful for your hard work and support. I'm really satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely recommend you to my family friends.The process gone very smoothly and reliable.
Thanks&Regards

Very helpful and reassuring from start to finish. Always kept me informed and dealt with everything swiftly and professionally. Put my mind at ease.

Good value for money with acceptable timing in response to my email correspondence.

Absolutely dreadful. The worst service I have received by anyone, ever.
We used these cowboys for our conveyancing.
"Communication is key" as it says on their website. This is an utter lie. If you can get through to the receptionist (which is very difficult) your solicitor will not be available. It does not matter how many "urgent" messages you leave, they will NEVER EVER call you back. We'd been dealing with them since September and never had a call back. They would also completely ignore your emails. It was so bad that I genuinely considered driving up to Manchester to talk to them (I live in London). I even tried messaging them on Facebook to try to get hold of them. The only time I was really able to talk to my "solicitor" was when I asked to speak to their supervisor. Sana and Amir are so incompetent I genuinely doubt if they are qualified. Incompetence would be putting it lightly. Several basic queries were left until the point of exchange such as boundary issues and if the house was on an adopted road (they had this information for months).

They LOST documents, made several mistakes in legal documents. They even got the name of our road wrong on one of them.

They will lie through their teeth and say things have been done when they haven't. Everyone in our chain complained about them including other solicitors and professionals. AVOID like the plague. We tried making a complaint to them but this was also ignored.

I could go on in more detail but please read this review and do not use them. You will regret it. If for some reason you do use them. Make sure you don't get appointed Sana or Amir.

Jaycie's patience and understanding during my incessant pestering and questioning was outstanding. Her focus on successfully driving the purchase over the line to the tightest of possible deadlines was exemplary.

As a first time buyer Jaycie made the process as easy as it could be and calmed my anxieties as they arose guiding me through the process in a clear and easily understandable manner.

I would highly recommend both Jaycie and Latimer Lee.

Jaycee Nugent was absolutely amazing very professional kept us very informed would definitely recommend her and Latimer

We used Latimer Lee to update our wills.

We were given clear guidance which was both helpful and reassuring.
The service was knowledgeable and professionally presented.
We would definitely recommend Latimer Lee

I live abroad and was struggling with a legal problem concerning divorce and pension sharing order. I contacted your company in the hope I might get some information and was astonished by the rapid and comprehensive answers Stephen Pinnington gave to me. He responded within minutes of the office opening.

It is difficult sometimes if you are English and living abroad to get good legal advice. Now I feel that if I have any problem in the future I will be able to contact you.
I cannot believe how quickly you responded to my questions. It is true to say that’s a great burden has been taken off my shoulders and that I look forward to a much brighter future. Thank you Stephen, sincerely!

Absolutely brilliant service and our allocated solicitor Jaycie went above and beyond! She even communicated with us over the weekends just to get the job done efficiently with little or no distress.....

I've had several phone consultations with Stephen and he has been an absolute font of knowledge offering brilliant advice to help us deal with our family issue. An incredibly helpful and approachable company that I wouldn't think twice about dealing with again.
