Pleasant experience

Pam is a very pleasant person. Was amenable to suggestion of agreeing costs compared to other solicitors in area. It helped we were able to drop off forms/meet with her as office is close to our residences. Despite time taken to sell property,she was patient, undestanding & helpful.

Avoid at all costs.

It was one of the worst solicitors' experiences we have had. First, it is impossible to get through to anyone, as calls are not answered, and nobody will call back when a message is left. You will be treated with content and disrespect, and the assumption will be that you are a criminal. There is no compassion or empathy; I am sure the focus is greed and collecting fees—a complete lack of customer service. My wife has been traumatised by the awful interaction with this solicitor - avoid at all costs.

Excellent service

I was with Judge& Priestley for buying and selling my house. I can’t thank enough Caroline Crocker and her team for doing an excellent job in a very short period of time. Caroline advised me genuinely on various occasions and helped me through my most stressful time to sell my house and to buy a new one. Caroline managed to exchange contract and complete within the specified timeframe though I was in a chain. Highly recommend J & P and Caroline and her team for conveyancing services.

Five stars are not enough

I have used Judge & Priestley, the Blackheath branch, on four separate occasions and each time I have been very impressed with their service and by reasonable and competitive prices.

My solicitor, Michael Cornwall, has consistently provided professional and friendly service, always keeping me updated and informed.

Huge thank you also to Bruce Mireles who is exceptional and to the entire team at Judge & Priestley.

I can highly recommend Michael Cornwall and the whole team and I will definitely use them again.

Making a will

I was very pleased at the quick and reliable service I received not only from Russell Ali but also the staff of the Sidcup braach of the firm. Everything was explained to me about making wills and suggestions were made to make things simpler. I would recommend Judge & Priestly to others.

Laurence Tai is an extremely pleasant & helpful young man. He was so patient with my wife who was recalling her past family history ( I have eentold she has early stages of dementia) & has a persecution complex now- she doubts most people as she thinks we are after her money - nothing could be further from our minds.

Full of attitude

Had a letter saying for a claim against the third party in a car accident I was involved in. It included a court claim form. I phoned to ask for some details and was met with attitude by the woman I spoke to which doesn’t ease my fears this is a scam. Very unprofessional from the receptionist to the woman called a ‘fee earner’.

Wills and Power of Attorney

Nimalee Bastian-Carter recently assisted my husband and myself in setting up simple Wills and Powers of Attorney (both health and financial). Nimalee listened to our requirements, explained all the options clearly, and helped us through the documentation and signature and registration process, which for the PoAs is quite complicated. We were very happy with the service received.

Conveyancing

I recently sold and purchased a property and was lucky enough to have James Ray assigned to my file. James was calm, meticulous and thorough. Always available to talk and supportive of the added stress that my sale and purchase were the result of a divorce. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thank you James.

Shambles of a company

Shambles of a company. Not interested in anything you email.
I am trying to get a breakdown of payments for well over 2 years. Still nothing.
This type of company gives solicitors a bad name.

FRAUDSTERS

I have today received a claim from this firm regarding an accident which occurred in 2018… yes you reading this correctly, 2018.
The accident was an unfortunate collision and was 50/50. The other driver was my former Managing Director with whom I am still friend and in good terms. His own daughter is my wife’s best friend who recently got appointed as one of the Directors. They claimed to have received the exact letter from this company and denied making any claims against me.
I will escalate this further seeing that you take pleasure in causing unnecessary distress.

Thank you James Ray

Me and my husband were first time buyers and was recommend Judge and Priestley via the Estate Agency. I was a little apprehensive at first as I have experience working with solicitors on a daily basis and often the feedback from customers is that they may be slow or not communicating enough however from the day we sent our initial instructions it took a total of 8 weeks to complete. James Ray has been absolutely amazing! From the beginning James gave us a detailed list what to expect, what he needed to do etc. Upon completing each stage he would inform us and let us know what was next. As a 1st time buyer we would come across things we wouldn't quite understand but James would always be at the other end of the line helping us. I honestly couldn't of been more happy with the service received and James is all to thank for that. Thank you!
