Excellent

I can't say enough good things about this solicitor! From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Louise was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my case. What impressed me most was her ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand. I always felt informed and confident that I was in the best hands. It's clear she is passionate about her work and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance."

A representative from Atkinson Firth Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 30 May, 2025:

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Shajeda. We're delighted to hear Louise's dedication and clarity made such a positive impact. Your recommendation means a lot!

Very prompt & efficient service.

I needed 2 seperate legal issues dealt with quickly. I approached Atkinson Firth and within an hour had an appointment booked and a cost for their services. Less than 2 weeks later everything was resolved. I dealt with Kathryn Lawes & Mark Beedel and found them both to be very personable & professional people. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

I needed 2 seperate legal issues dealt with quickly and looked up solicitors nearby. I approached Woodheads solicitors and didn't get a reply, I tried again, same result. Exactly the same thing happened with Wilsons Solicitors. I approached Atkinson Firth and within an hour had an appointment booked and a cost for their services. Less than 2 weeks later everything was resolved. I dealt with Kathryn Lawes & Mark Beedel and found them both to be very personable & professional people. I would recommend this company without hesitation.

However after 2 failed phone appointments with no notification that they would not be kept and only having the 2nd made after missing the 1st by near 5hrs and then I had to chase to get it rebooked and for a reason why.

I would highly recommend Mark Beedel and the team at atkinson firth who have recently dealt with my conveyancing. I found them both professional and approachable and they kept the whole process stress free. I always received a call/E-mail back promptly and I was kept up to date throughout without having to chase, which for me is very important! Would use again.
