Quick and efficient basic will

The joint mirror wills were carried out quickly and efficiently. However after completion, we became aware, having spoken to others, that there were some additional clauses which we would have benefitted from including. We wish that these options had been suggested as possibilities and discussed with us at the outset.

Completion of forms was easy via the on-line portal. Upload of documents worked well as did the digital signature. Easy to contact Abi, and her response was very quick.

Something good something not so good

Every thing was going great until it came to Trustees signing a bunch of documents. The accompanying letter was brief and to the point but it didn't explain what was required in sufficient detail. This caused confusion and delays. I felt the need to contact a senior manager.

Initially the speed and ease of contact was excellent. There were a few teething troubles with contact once the legal team were assigned but they were soon ironed out and from then on I had absolutely no complaints. Queries were dealt with swiftly and the team were very helpful and professional. Highly recommended. I will definitely use Lions Bowe again in the future.

Holly's experience...

Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

A very disappointing service, with a few exceptions such as Lauren.

Some shocking mistakes made by both a solicitor and legal assistant(s).

More solicitor contact, with continuity, would be one improvement.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
