Do not use these solicitors. They have been dealing with my mother's will since she passed away last year and seem no closer to completing this almost 11 months later. Phone calls aren't returned and we were never even notified when our solicitor left the company! We have been advised by another solicitor to make a complaint to the financial ombudsman if there is no progress after 12 months.

Probably the rudest and most money focused solicitor ever. Withheld a Will for the sake of trying to get us to pay for them to administer the probate. Then, we go up to get the Will and notice that there are two errors in it from them originally writing it. We were told “it pays to review it”… isn’t that what the solicitor is for??? Not recommended.

I was told they are taking on community care cases. I spoke to the person in the department about my case. They said I would need to complete legal aid forms which I did. I didn't hear anything for weeks. So I tried to chase it up. I got no reply. Then they contacted me to say they needed bank statement from husband who are couldn't go out due to health.
It was now lockdown and both my partner and I are chronically disabled and had received shielding letters from NHS telling us not to go out not even for exercise or be at risk of getting coronavirus. There wasn't even a bank in my town so I had

Rude, incompetent, bias, no intention of what is best for the child involved. Lie and purposely deceive the court for their own benefit. Beware if you come up against Colin Warner or anyone from his firm.
