The Wilkes Partnership Reviews 

My solicitor left half way through my divorce, can’t be helped but the partner they passed me onto did not respond to me for weeks at a time, during a time in the divorce when information needed was crucial.
My bills were consistently wrong too!
I would not recommend at all.

I would recommend people avoid this firm! I was recommended to use another solicitor but they passed my enquiry over to another firm within the same group which should have been my sign to walk away but I didn't. I had a situation where a family member became very ill and we had to postpone part of the transaction. There were a handful of solicitors involved and these were the only one that chose to profit from our situation. When I suggested that if they were going to do that then I would use another solicitor when we picked the sale back up. This is the point in which Asia manipulated me by agreeing over the phone to hold off so I would only be charged for any actual addition work incurred (which was very little to non as it was the same buyer and they only had the correct info a week before we postponed) on the basis that I would continue to use them for the sale. Sale completed and the fee they deducted was both amounts so they ended up receiving 150% of the original quote (plus extra amount for the yearly increase in between). I made a complaint and they just kept responding with wordy excuses and never once took any accountability or addressed the fact that it was a manipulation to get paid twice instead of me using another firm (with better morals) like I said I would when it was picked back up. I also had issues with Asia's attitude throughout. She clearly didn't like me asking questions and at one point threatened to not act for us if we didn't agree to pay for a frivolous indemnity that the buyers solicitors never even ended up requesting anyway. Her responses were so inappropriate and evasive on emails that I had to call in multiple times and explain to her assistant that she was becoming rude and unprofessional because she was simply not answering my questions. She made it very clear she wasn't happy with me asking questions. They eventually refunded 30% of the extra amount they charged me but still just refused to take responsibility for the poor, unprofessional and immoral behaviour. I would just recommend people avoid using them to save from receiving the same treatememt I did.

Looking to engage a solicitor for wills ,LPA and setting up Trusts.Emailed them twice ,first time directly off their contact us form on their website.Second time from my email account to a named solicitor.
Its been ten days since the first email and I've received no reply whatsoever. Not impressed at all.

Always a pleasure to deal with, thorough, professional, and prompt in responding
