Wonderful Experience

We contacted Simpson’s Solicitors to update our Wills. From the moment we entered the office we felt relaxed and were made to feel that our appointment really mattered and it was important to Simpsons. Kayleigh dealt with us and we were utterly amazed at her knowledge, ability and professionalism. That said Kayleigh made us feel very comfortable, there was some laughs and she showed a lot of empathy. We got the job done with ease and with confidence in Kayleigh to get it done properly.

On Wills Michael gets it done!

Michael Llewellyn from Simpson Solicitors was relaxed, professional, caring, very knowledgeable and most of all he was supportive.
He covered every aspect of my will and was very patient when my wife and I wanted clarification on various points.
I have no hesitation in recommending Simpson Solicitors to my friends.
Simpson Solicitors should be very proud to have Michael as an employee.

Avoid at all cost

Absolutely horrible. I cannot stress enough the importance to avoid using Right Legal as your representative. This firm is a recipe for inducing stress in your life. Over the years, they caused me to spend an exorbitant amount of money and time due to their lack of professionalism. Their employee turn over rate is also ridiculously high which is quite worrisome but makes so much sense. The quality of their service is so low and the professionals they hire reflect just that. Often times when you deal with one handler, they disappear without notice and your file is picked up by a new person that isn't even equipped to handle things and you end up in the same situation because when they finally catch up with your case status, the amount of time already passed and the not knowing how to progress things just causes more frustration to you as a client. Before you know it, they're also gone without notice.

I would not be typing out this message if it was not because of the frustrations, poor service, lack of transparency, low progress, low regard for me as a client, lack of professionalism, unwilling be truthful, inability to acknowledge their own shortcomings, horrible communication, inability to find solutions, and the STRESS that I've experienced over the years.

This firm needs to sued for how they operate. I cannot stress enough my urge to you to avoid them at all costs. There were so many mistakes they made along the way that if I did not call it out it would probably costs me more than needed and also cost me getting the results that I deserved. I felt as though like I was holding their hands and having to constantly nudge them along the way to get anything done and the worst part is that they seemed not to care because there are never any consequences. Imagine receiving a compensation of 100 pounds when you're being forced to pay a bill of 3K just because the firm is lazy to resolve an issue they created. Imagine being billed 8K for having to outsource another firm just to write and send a letter because the firm's legal representatives weren't competent enough to do so. Imagine experiencing mistakes and mistakes for years. Please do not place yourself in this position with them. It's beyond me how they received 4.7 stars here but on Google it's way below that, even the ratings feel like a false reality.

I’ve received nothing in over 3 weeks since paying for a Will

My wife and I talked through our Will requirements and were charged a lot of money, with no warning how much before interview, and have received nothing in over 3 weeks since then. It feels like we’ve been scammed.

Update of our LPAs

My wife and I needed to update our LPAs to replace an attorney. We had really professional and friendly advice from Charlie Watts. The whole process was easy and painless and competitively priced. Thanks again for your service and advice.

Michelle helped my husband and myself with our new Wills and I found her very friendly, professional and very good with my husband who is severely sighted. I have already recommended her to a family member.

Shocking communication

Had a will trust meeting on 1 April. It’s now 10 May and after having paid £1,000 we have heard nothing despite requesting an update from the solicitor in charge.

I accessed the Free Will Review Service at Simpsons Solicitors in Thornbury and expected a hard sell. I had an appointment with Bethany who to my surprise said my own handwritten Will was fit for purpose.

I mentioned a few concerns and Bethany indicated she could address these in a new Will and gave me some pointers to consider. Because of the honesty and integrity of Bethany/Simpsons Solicitors in Thornbury, I made an appointment for them to draft my new Will, which has now been completed.

Solicitors generally do not receive positive feedback, but I am impressed by the professionalism shown during the process. Thank you to the Team at Thornbury

I was posted to Simpsons Solicitors, Thornbury office when I signed up to write my will via Free Wills Month. I got excellent service. The solicitor I was assigned, Mr Llewellyn, was very patient, taking time to ensure I understood everything whether during our phone calls or email communications. I would definitely recommend Simpsons for anyone needing to write a will, whether via Free Wills Month or not.

My wife and I recently updated our Wills and completed Lasting Power of Attorney documents. We would like to recommend the Thornbury office and in particular Michael Llewellyn. Michael was very friendly helpful and professional and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
