Cheap but everything is slow and we had to chase them to get things moving. When they say they didn’t receive anything, they did, it was lost their end. Felt like we had to project manage everything

I used TBW for a very complex and sensitive family matter, I was referred to Joanna who took my case and was extremely knowledgeable, competent and experienced in this field, my case took nearly a full year to complete but TBW and Joanna guided me through until the end with a positive result, I would strongly recommend.

It's strange really that as human beings we are always keen to leave negative views when it doesn't go the way we want it to yet when its advantageous to us we simply rub our hands together, get on with life and easily forget the advocates who have made our day.
Not here, everyone has their own story and the guy dealing with my incident, Jatinder Sokhal was very much on the ball, nothing is/was too much and he always makes/made himself available on the phone.
We can't win them all and the outcome isn't always what we want but, it's their input that matters to me and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone and would definitely use them again if ever the need arises.

Appalling
This review is for a different branch.
To start with I have given this firm 1 star, this I had to do as I couldn't do anything lower.
My family and I decided to use this company as they were local, unfortunately this is as good as it gets.
We went to them to sort my late mothers estate. At the start Leon was helpful, then everything started to go down hill. Emails were sent to the solicitor for updates as to what is happening but no reply. A new solicitor Georgina Vanden Berghe took over the case. There was no reason given as to why she had taken over. I asked why things had been taking so long ie 6 weeks to apply for probate and was sent a rude unprofessional email back giving all the dates but also told that she had not looked at the file when taking it over. Surely this would be the first thing you would do when you have a new client. Also a person who was not named on the will or an executor was dealing with the solicitors.
Would I recommend this solicitors, simply NO and would take a wide berth of them. Unfortunately my family didn't listen to me as if they had we would of been with Gough Clinton and Broome who I would recommend.
