Timms Solicitors
Our lawyers specialise in providing high quality legal advice and support to private clients and businesses. Just a note to say thank you for taking on my medical negligence claim and getting my settlement sorted as quick as you could. The money has made my day to day life easier as I have now settled into my new bungalow.

It does not help me get my life back to how it was, as working was a big part of my life which I enjoyed, but in time I know I will feel better about this. Thank you to all in the conveyancing team for the services they have provided in the sale of my property - it has been second to none.

We used Timms in Swadlincote for both the sale and purchase of our house.
Julie has been incredibly helpful during the process, especially with dealing with other solicitors firms who weren't quite so good!
She always kept us informed and involved in the process, and we'd use the firm again should we ever need to.

I don't normally write reviews, and I can only say I talk about the conveyancing department but for your sanity and stress levels go elsewhere. I can't say too much more as a formal letter of complaint has gone in but if i had my time again i'd have looked at another company!!

Awful experience with Timms. Purchasing our first house was supposed to be exciting but unfortunately this was lost with the very frustrating process and total lack of competetance. We had to do all the chasing ourselves with the vendors/solicitors else nothing would of been completed. Was recommended by a friend but will consider going elsewhere in the future.

Very disappointed with the service they provided. I cannot recommend them providing conveyance services. They ended up wasting my time giving me unclear information and were rude and on the phone.

I have moved 17 times over the years and used at least 15 solicitors. Timms have been the best that I have ever used. All the work was done by e-mail , as agreed, to keep costs down and also to ensure that things kept moving along with the minimum of fuss. Loads of common sense used by Timms when facing issues. No problems just solutions.
Overall I was very impressed indeed and will use them again for sure.
A difficult time as this sale was for my late sister but it reall couldn't have gone any better.
Thankyou so much for all your help.
