Child & Child レビュー 

Outstanding team to work with. I would highly recommend Benny as a solicitor. The whole process was handled smoothly and professionally from start to finish.

After a recommendation and introduction I finally commenced the process of drafting my will.
The service received was excellent and all information explained throughout to reflect my wishes.

I recently worked with Alice at Child & Child for my ILR application and could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Alice handled everything with the utmost professionalism. She was incredibly responsive, always keeping me informed and ensuring I understood every step of the process. What really stood out was her ability to make what can be a daunting and complex process feel entirely manageable. Her calm, clear guidance and sound advice gave me real confidence throughout. The application was handled efficiently and in a timely manner, and I am delighted with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Alice and the team at Child & Child to anyone navigating the ILR process.

I have been dealing with this law firm for the past three years regarding property sale and purchase documents, contingencycharge refund arrangements, land registry paperwork, and related matters. Unfortunately, the experience has been extremely frustrating and time-consuming.

Almost every document required countless follow-up emails because there were always careless mistakes in important details such as names, addresses, or amounts. On top of that, the staff handling my case changed constantly. Nearly every time I followed up, I was passed to a different person. Although automatic emails would say another colleague would take over the case, in reality nothing was properly followed through.

I spent an unreasonable amount of time chasing updates by phone and email, despite paying very high legal fees for their services. The handover process within the company is clearly very poor, and it honestly makes me question why staff turnover is so frequent there.

What surprises me most is the high rating this firm has received here. In my apartment building, the majority of property transactions are handled by this same law firm, and many of my neighbours have experienced similar issues.

Overall, the service was disorganised, inefficient, and far below the standard I expected from a professional law firm.

And I am still chasing my money after 2 years…

I’m extremely grateful to Alice Boyle for all her help and support with my immigration case. She was patient, understanding, and always available to answer my questions. The whole process was handled with professionalism and care, and I felt reassured throughout.

Her expertise and commitment made a huge difference, and I honestly don’t think I could have chosen a better laywer. I would happily recommend her to anyone needing immigration advice or representation.

I had an excellent experience using Chloe Redman as the solicitor for the sale of my house. She managed the process extremely well on my behalf, with great communication and responsiveness throughout. She gave clear guidance whenever something was required of me, providing great advice along the way. Despite working across from the buyer's solicitor who was extremely difficult to work with, she constantly chased for updates to progress the transaction forward as efficiently as possible.

Our immigration lawyer, Alice was absolutely outstanding. My wife, an Iranian national, needed a UK dependent visa — a complex process that typically takes 8–12 weeks. Thanks to the meticulous preparation and expertise of Alice, the visa was approved in 3 weeks. Professional, thorough, and reassuring throughout. If you need an immigration lawyer, look no further!

I don’t normally write reviews, but in this case the service I received from Child and Child was absolutely outstanding and way beyond anything that I could ever have imagined.
While buying my first property Lisa and her colleague Ermelisa responded so quickly to my questions and reacted swiftly to our infuriatingly slow seller’s solicitors and unraveled layers of complications presented by them.
On top of that when I pivoted and put in an offer on another flat, they didn’t bat an eyelid and helped me negotiate on both flats at once. These were complicated bank repossessions but Lisa cut through the jungle (also negotiating a price cut) and brought us out the other side and I am now the proud owner of a three bed London property!
I wholeheartedly recommend Child and Child. They’ve been around for 176 years and I’m sure they’ll keep going for another few hundred.

I recently used their services for my wife’s British citizenship application, and Paolo Barbato was consistently supportive and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend them for any immigration-related applications.

I would like to really thank you all of you for your professionalism, dedication, precision, commitment and responsiveness for helping us in our case.
If you need a real and effective legal assistance Child&Child is the only firm you need!
Thank you to all team and in particular to Benny, Giulia and Shayen

Rhea was very helpful and always responded to queries in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone that needs to obtain Probate.

Rhea Rughani was great to deal with throughout the process. She clearly lead us through all the necessary steps throughout the probate process and make it as painless as possible.

Rhea was great and made the whole experience very positive. She was clear, helpful, answered all our questions and provided excellent advice.
Very professional service and highly recommended

I have now had Dominic Green in my corner for around four years. I have to say what a brilliant acquisition he is for Child & Child as the Head of their contentious probate department.
I have found Dominic to be the consummate professional. His knowledge and confidence in his abilities are completely infectious, leaving you in no doubt that he has your corner and knows his business. I found him to be quite formidable and a credit to his industry.

I used Laurence and Sidney from Child & Child for a property matter involving dealing with tenant who would not leave after being given notice. To say Laurence was amazing is an understatement - professional, knowledgeable, efficient, I would definitely use again. I have tried other solicitors and Laurence is on a different level.

Exceptional. Having dealt with solicitors for various reasons over the years, this experience has comfortably been the best. Excellent service, comms and met all deadlines, assisting in areas outside the original remit on a number of occasions. Chloe Redman in particular was brilliant. Highly recommended.

We recently worked with Shayan Patel from Child & Child Solicitors to help my grandmother with the purchase of her new home, and he has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

Shayan was professional, patient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, kept us updated at every stage, and made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless.

His communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart. We’re so grateful for his hard work and dedication.

I would highly recommend Shayan Patel and the team at Child & Child Solicitors to anyone looking for exceptional service and trustworthy legal support

A huuuuuge shout out to BECKY CHEN!!!!! She's the solicitor that every buyer can ever hope for!

As a first-time buyer, the legal side of purchasing a house felt like a daunting black box of jargon and deadlines. Becky was an absolute superstar who completely demystified the entire process. She kept me updated at every single stage, explained complex terms in plain English (and Chinese), and was always incredibly quick to respond to my (many, many) questions with patience and clarity.

If you want a solicitor who is not only brilliant at her job but also a genuinely lovely person to work with, you've found her. Thank you, Becky!

It’s unfortunate that I have to give this firm even one star in order to leave a review. I strongly advise anyone seeking real estate legal services to look elsewhere — unless you’re happy to pay an extortionate amount of money for extremely poor service.

I’ve never written a negative review before, but I feel genuinely compelled to warn others. My experience was deeply frustrating from beginning to end. Key issues included:
• Extremely poor communication – They are very difficult to reach, and you’re left constantly chasing them for updates.
• Lack of follow-through – They don’t take ownership of tasks, and you’re left doing all the follow-up work yourself.
• Unprofessional and rude – Particularly disappointing behaviour from Zack Reynolds, who was both arrogant and dismissive.
• Irresponsible handling of critical stages – They went on leave during the middle of my property sale without notifying me or arranging any cover.

This level of service is unacceptable in any context, but especially in legal matters involving property transactions where timelines and communication are critical.

Avoid this firm at all costs.

Working with Paolo Barbato has been an absolute pleasure. Efficient, structured, insightful and calm. As always it is such a relief to work with true professionals.
