I can’t recommend Lisa Judd highly enough. Through no one’s fault Lisa was my 3rd solicitor and she really did take the bull by the horns and got me to the desired finish line. Thanku for helping me to get the right outcome for me Lisa, Just wished it had been you, your expertise, honesty and professionalism from the beginning!

Issue with water supply involving neighbouring properties

Alex has been of great support, his friendly and efficient services has been excellent. I found him to be very approachable and knowledgeable. He spoke in easy to understand terms and was more than happy to explain things again if I didn’t understand. I would definitely recommend Alex. Thank you so much

Possession of Property

Palmers Law acted on our behalf to regain possession of our property which was rented out. The staff were very professional from first contact. We were assigned to Alex Newbold who guided us through the whole process. Alex was extremely professional and always fast to answer emails and clarify any doubts we had. Based on our experience we would recommend their services.

Efficient, straight forward and reassuring

I have used the services of three different teams at Palmers over the years and I have always found them efficient, reasonable and good at communicating with me. The advice has always been excellent and they have always ensured I fully understand my rights and obligations under any contract or agreement I have entered into. My most recent experience with Kristie mirrors this as well. I am very grateful to have found a firm I can rely upon when I need legal advice on any matter.

Reasonable service

I did get a reasonable deal, improved by the solicitor, in the end, but customer service and reassurance should be provided to the client who is having a challenging time as it is. Updates do need to be more regular too as it is a very stressful time for the client and less judgement without full facts.

Lisa provided me with some legal advice in relation to my employment contracts. Lisa has a wealth of experience and her calm and measured approach throughout guided me in exiting the businesses I worked for and helped me achieve a more favourable outcome. Would recommend her and Palmers for legal services.

Great experience with Palmerslaw

I had an excellent experience with Palmerslaw. The solicitor assigned to my case, Rej, was incredibly helpful and thorough in explaining legal procedures in a clear and step-by-step manner, which empowered me to make informed decisions with confidence. Rej was friendly and approachable, and provided prompt responses to my questions; he handled my case with professionalism and showed a genuine commitment to supporting me. I highly recommend this Palmerslaw and Rej to anyone seeking reliable and personable legal assistance.

I found Palmers Solicitors on the Internet and from the onset of my experience I could not fault the service and professionalism showed by all at Palmers, the communication was exemplary and Mr. Sirrell who represented us was very calming and guided me through the whole difficult situation I was facing. I would recommend Palmers Solicitors to anyone in need of help.

If I could give no stars,I would.Having dealt with Grays branch ,I am forced to write about the atrocious service I received dealing with a financial settlement as part of a divorce.My having to double check everything even though I was going through an emotional period of my life . The solicitor had no clue what she was doing and made errors that could have led to my ex husband getting my share of the property had I not spotted the solicitors mistakes!It was an
Unbeliable situation.
Even now months after the divorce I am having to chase Palmers via emails to Mrs Livingstone as she has completed a document with errors tet again causing me more work. I am trying to complete a pension sharing order,which she originally stated Palmers could do after my divorce came through and put me in touch with a person who then said they had no experience and didn't know what to do !
Leading me to find an adviser who is complaining of errors made by Palmers on the sharing document.
This past week I have emailed Palmers regard help with this and had no reply.
I would recommend anyone thinking of approaching them to find a competant company with experienced solicitors and not bother to put your trust in Palmers.
My whole time dealing with them has been frustrating.You will pay alot but get very little professional advice.I still have not resolved my issue and the divorce process started well over a year ago.
Palmers made a very difficult time of my life so much worse.
