National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Napthens LLP on ReviewSolicitors.

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

A Devastating Experience with Napthens Solicitors – No Accountability

Title: A Devastating Experience with Napthens Solicitors – No Accountability, No Justice
Negative Rating!!!!

I turned to Napthens Solicitors for legal support—what I received was negligence, conflict of interest, ignored instructions, and unauthorized billing. My experience spanned over a year and culminated in Napthens withdrawing from my case after causing significant damage.

They shared my late husband’s death certificate with opposing counsel without informing me.

They missed key deadlines, failed to enforce settlement terms, and let critical agreements lapse—all while charging me.

When I raised a conflict of interest, they refused to reassign my solicitor, dismissed my complaint, and billed me for complaining.

I had a £0 balance when I formally objected, yet they continued to act without consent and added new charges before withdrawing.

I was left to file my own strike-out application because they neglected to challenge a baseless claim.

All of this occurred without regulatory intervention—the SRA and Legal Ombudsman have yet to act, despite being made fully aware.

After 20 documented examples of misconduct (all posted publicly here: https://x.com/MY_Property_UK/status/1923493082579730790), I’ve paid the price in time, money, health, and trust—and no one has been held accountable.

I do not recommend Napthens to anyone seeking competent, ethical, or client-centered legal representation.

Overpriced

Simple tasks, extortionate prices. They take advantage of non legal trained customers thinking that they don’t have a clue.

Great Service

I have had dealings for numerous matters for over fifteen years with Napthans, and for my latest dealings used the southport arm to the buisness with good success.

The team were attentive,and kept me up to speed on all matters,with a positive outcome once again for myself.

I will be using them again soon to update my will.

Jennifer Rogers was excellent at helping us with a sensitive family issue with an unwanted guest in our Mother's property! Excellent response time to questions, and Jennifer provided extremely thorough, yet crystal clear advice to us. Very highly recommended. Thank you Jennifer for being on our side, we cannot thank you enough.

The conveyancing service from Napthens was very professional. Their App is easy to use and enables the majority of the process to be completed online. They have been happy to deal with any questions on the phone and were prompt in responding to voice or email messages. Demi and Gareth have been really supportive throughout our property sale.
