Nelsons レビュー 

Haidee dealt with the sale of my late daughter's flat. I was extremely impressed with her efficiency and professionalism, the whole process was literally seamless from start to finish. I would definitely use Nelsons again.

I accompanied my mother today who had an appointment for 12pm with Bianca in order to go through the process of sorting her will out. We arrived at 11:55am to reception where we were seated and after a short period we were taken to a meeting room. By 12:30pm there was no sign of the solicitor and by 12:55pm still no one had arrived. At this point we got up and walked out. No communication as to what was happening or why the solicitor was late coming. After being recommended by family to use Nelsons and seeing the good reviews we obviously came to the conclusion this was the best solicitors to use but going on my experience I can safely say we will not be recommending them. Would like to add aswell no communication has been made by them to apologise for this.

I used nelsons after being reccomended by another firm who was unable to deal with my case.
Ronny tang from the contentious team was appointed to lead my case to sort a dispute over my late fathers estate with a sibling.
Ronny was efficient and got the result i wanted. I would highly recommend nelsons and Ronny for any simular cases.

I am very pleased that I appointed Nelsons to handle my divorce case. They ensured that the most appropriate solution in terms of a pension sharing order was applied as this was not initially applied by my ex wife's solicitor. The original arrangements were not to my advantage. Emma Davies initially handled my case and Emma Riding took it to the conclusion. I am so glad that I came to Nelsons.

We made our wills with advice from Nadia at Nelson's in Leicester. She was very knowledgeable, explained everything and was very easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

Chris Huntingtonford a great help with the conveyancing. Nice easy to deal with company and great correspondence

Nelson’s solicitors or Else as they were, are absolutely useless. Used them for a case and not only did it cost me a lot of money on there bill but my original offer of compensation I was offered before I got these involved I lost that as well!!

After I spoke to a solicitor there who said I was owed considerably more, he said leave it with he would write a letter and that would trigger a larger payout, so I left it in his hands…… it took him nearly 12 months just to write a letter. The company who owed me the money just ignored his email!! then in the end the solicitor wouldn’t get in touch with me, only to pay his bill after that he ignored my calls and emails he was always busy never, unfortunately he wrote one letter for me and the company who owned my the money then ignored me so I lost there original offer. In the end I found out the solicitor who was responsible for my case had left the firm, he didn’t tell me he just went! Absolutely terrible. Awful company wouldn’t use them for write a message board never mind anything legal!!!

All else or Nelsons were concerned about was getting their pound of flesh for the letter which cost the best part of a £1,000.
So with the £4,000 I was offered before I spoke to the solicitors and their bill £1,000 I lost £5,000.

Rather than just excepting the £4,000 they originally offered me.

A lesson solicitors only care about them self’s they promised me everything and I got nothing. I really wish I accepted company’s original offer of £4,000 and not got any solicitor involved. Especially not these!!!!

This case started in 2023 and was with them over 12 months!

I've been using Nelsons since 2022 for mainly advice with multiple work pensions that I have accumulated during my career. The advice and support from Samuel Cawley has always been excellent, including with a work pension, which Nelsons weren't managing at the time. The (ongoing) advice is always clear and well-explained and all questions and alternative options are discussed providing a very thorough service. I would absolutely recommend them for this type of financial work.

This has been my first experience with Nelsonslaw, but not with the person I dealt with, which helped considerably in my eventual decision to use this company.
My affairs are now in the hands of this company and I have every confidence that they will continue to be handled in a professional and efficient way.

I've been with Nelsons since 1990. Mainly with the Financial Investment people. Generally I've been pleased, although sometimes there have been some bloopers! Finance is a weird thing, because you never know if you could have done better somewhere else! But they are nice people to deal with, so the bloopers just about get sorted, eventually...

Nelsons solicitors have been fantastic with all our needs with legal matters,house purchases,and financial advice we would highly recommend nelsons to anyone they are very professional in all aspects of the work they do

I've used Nelsons many times over the years and I've always found them to be very professional and thorough

Run Away from this firm!! As a beneficiary of a trust Nelson’s are involved with I have no confidence in them acting in the interests of any of us or our disabled relation, but rather to enrich themselves to the tune of £30,000 just for the probate. I would advise nobody use Helen there for their will, your descendants will pay for it dearly. To intentionally quote partner level costs of £400+ an hour for probate to the trust for a mentally disabled person, then ring my mother up to intimidate and upset her when this was questioned was something I never thought a firm like Nelsons would do, but here we are. .

We instructed Nelsons to help with a trademark dispute in February 2024. Everything seemed fine to begin with.

As the case went on the other side weren't really responding so we instructed Nelsons to only update us if they heard anything.

What followed was an email from our solicitor chasing us on how we wish to proceed (we had already specified) and then when asking for a price based on what had been mentioned we received "advice"

For this chain of 3 emails we were charged £310.00.

Just to add insult to injury we found out once we pushed this through their internal complaints and actually got a breakdown of the chargeable hours we were being charged for an email with an invoice and what the invoice was for at a cost of £47.00!

Oh and a chaser email that was made up of two sentences (one of which to let me know they were on annual leave) was also a fee of £47.00, during the complaints process this was seen as acceptable. If it takes 7 minutes to write a two sentence chaser email something has gone tragically wrong.

You will get billed for EVERYTHING, almost like its either to inflate figures or to claw back billable time.

Oh and as we were using a junior solicitor their work had to be checked by someone more senior, we were made aware of this but didn't realise it meant a charge on every email reviewed, to the point of a 6 minute review of an email cost us £36.50. as you can imagine for anything substantial the costs rose significantly, which means we would have been better off going with someone more senior to begin with.
As a business you train your staff and unfortunately have to take that on the chin, billing for both time is a bit harsh, especially when its a benefit internally.

As you can imagine the complaints process internally seemed very one sided and essentially ended in recommending we go to the legal Ombudsman.

I raised further comments based on the responses but heard nothing back, i'd imagine its hard to justify charging us for the privilege of knowing what we are paying for to be able to pay a bill. And i assume they didn't want to try writing the two sentence email and timing themselves as i suggested.

I would strongly advise avoid Nelsons and will not be using them again.

If I could give minus stars I would! Shocking firm. Don’t communicate with you. Hard to get hold of. Never completed what I asked them to do and still charged me a ridiculous amount of money with nothing completed! Then had the audacity to report me for a CCJ because i questioned them about the price they charged without completing anything. Then I had to pay the bill plus interest! Do not use Nelson’s Solicitor’s.

I’m now with Stowe Law firm and these are a million times better and a lot quicker!

I have been using Nelsons for few years now and every time they exceed my expectations. Usually its Ash simpson who does my conveyancing for the property purchase and i cant praise him enough. He always go out of his way to work on each of our purchases super efficiently and thoroughly. Always a pleasure to work with him and definitely recommend this firm to everyone. Can’t think of any other firm for any future purchases ❤️

DO NOT USE THEM.

I engaged Nelsons in May 2022. An original estimate was so outrageously wrong. Considering that they are experts in wills and estates, I am left perplexed that they practice in such areas. They are opaque in their charging and when challenged to provide detailed information concerning work. Fobbing you off with confusing responses. I am in contact with the Legal Ombudsman concerning this. I would like to hear from those who have experienced similar problems. If you know and could please recommend "no win no fee solicitors" that would be interested in helping me would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't speak more highly of Melanie Bridgen and her paralegal associate Melanie Theakstone. They have both been extremely professional at all times, and have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my case, from start to finish. I have worked with solicitors prior to instructing them, but they are definitely the best by far, they are in fact second to none in their field. They have been kind, compassionate and helpful consistently, they got instant results. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of instructing a legal team to fight their corner. You will be amazed by their level of expertise, and the results they get, all while keeping the fees to a minimum at the same time. Thanks SO much to you both Melanie and Melanie I am hand on heart truly grateful! I am SO glad to have been recommended you by the truly amazing Dr Proudman! Thanks without end ;-)

Avoid this company at all costs.

I bought and sold my house in Dec 2023.

Nelsons being a legal company do not have proper processes. They send bills and request payments via text. With no branding, no confirmation it's not a scam or any security.

They charged me £300 twice. Wrongly.
The estate agent I was buying from, contacted them for information about me. To which nelsons replied they didn't have me on their books (after I had paid and signed lots of paperwork) and that they didn't know me. This slowed down the process hugely, meaning I had to take time from work contacting everyone to find answers.

I was constantly chasing them and constantly receiving incorrect information about important financial decisions. The person who dealt with me was always out or away from her desk when the estate agent told me to chase her down for information as they couldn't contact her.

At the end of the process they were quoting me 2k more than what I had worked out I had to pay. I challenged them on this and instantly their figure changed.

If you use this company be sure to be on top of your financial estimations and be prepared to fight them at every turn.

Thank you to Shoaib Mirza for working on my house competition. Brilliant service and good communication.
Highly Recommended!!!
