Service in relation to Will preparation and completion
This review is for a different branch.
Service provided has been excellent on all levels.
My initial contact with Steve was very helpful as he is knowledgeable in a wide range of services and was able to direct me to Jennifer.
In my dealings with Jennifer I found her to be understanding, professional and thorough to ensure my needs were met in full.

Excellant Service
This review is for a different branch.
Andrea helped me with a basic will through St John's Hospice "will month".
From the first point of contact and throughout the process, I was given bespoke but clear advice on how to plan my will.
A lovely friendly office where you feel at ease to ask questions.
My will is now complete in super quick time.
Thank you to Andrea and the team for making a delicate subject easy.
And the fact there is a donation to St John's Hospice is the icing on the cake.
Would definitely use Andrea again for other legal matters in the future.
I was made to feel like a human not just a customer.
Than you Andrea.

Making a will
This review is for a different branch.
I wanted to make a will and I was recommended by a friend to use Maxwell and Hodge Solicitors in Formby village.
The process was very straight forward as I made clear what I wanted and that’s what Ciara delivered for me.
Ciara was professional, knowledgeable, and informative. I am very happy with the service provided.

Abused again.
This review is for a different branch.
Abusing victims all over again.
As a victim of domestic abuse I had hoped to receive advice and support. Instead I was charged £258 for 20 minutes with a paralegal who didn’t even mention shuttle mediation. It’s like getting strangled and thrown across a room all over again

Slow to respond and does not appear to be very well organised . The staff are polite when available. It just does not give you any confidence that anything will get completed.

Another uncomplicated transaction taking over 5 months and finally, delayed transfer of money followed by subsequent mistake in the accounts..

Maxwell Hodge took over five months to complete a very straightforward house purchase and after the first month or so it became very difficult to get updates from them. It was only after telling them that the purchase was going to fall through within the next couple of weeks that suddenly things started to happen.

This is the third time I have used Maxwell Hodge . Although I was very sorry to see Pamela go, the conveyancing assistant I had had the most contact with before, her replacement Demi had been wonderful. Thank you
