How Devonalds Compares
Value for money
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.
This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Devonalds on ReviewSolicitors.

- How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?

- Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
- Overall experience

All round professional, quick reply and post.
Relaxed and friendly staff. Not easy to write your Will and talk about death. As my Mum said many years ago: "Write your Will then forget it".

We went to Devonalds, Bridgend to prepare both our Wills.
We saw Mr Rhys Jones, and the whole experience was friendly, straightforward and easy to understand. Rhys was efficient and professional. Very satisfied. Thank you.

Not a good experience, felt like I was constantly chasing them.
Ignoring important emails that only they could action.
Added stress that I didn’t need.

I had the pleasure of having Luke Williams' team from the Bridgend branch looking after the sale of my property, and the purchase of a new one. Luke was outstandingly good; I've bought and sold properties before, and Luke and his team are head and shoulders above the rest. Luke was everything that you could ask for from a conveyancing solicitor: diligent, responsive, proactive. I cannot recommend Devonalds highly enough.

Rang Devonalds Bridgend to make an appointment for my elderly father. Was told Luke would call me back. Never got a phone call back so I rang them again. Was told by the receptionist he couldn’t deal with our request at this time. No explanation as to why? Very unprofessional!
