Social security lawyer

It wouldn't have been my 1st choice, due mostly to the dodgy sounding name"

Everything was explained in a professional manner

Used Vicki and her team twice over a period of years for property purchases. Very good and efficient on both occasions. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I'm having a mental breakdown with this firm.Despite raising numerous complaints and I have been with this firm for 12 months now, they take so long to do anything. Most of their solicitors are trainees who move around within different legal areas in the firm so there is no consistency with a representative. I raised complaints to speak with a senior solicitor and not once have been given the opportunity. Instead if you want a experienced legal solicitor to deal with a case apparently the fees are alot more.I have had for different solicitors in 1 year. Sadia then Zakia in Kings Heath. Then told my file has been passed to dudley branch who I was dealing with a Katie and now a Sanjidah and movement is soo slow. I have to constantly chased them and they do not respond within reasonable time. There is no clear guidance and support.Previous review is correct. They quickly take your money but very slow to deliver. I am literally having a breakdown because they are not moving fast enough and it's having mental impact on my health on top of family matters I am trying to resolve to get to sort through court.DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND FIND A FIRM THAT THAT IS REPUTABLE AND REGOGNISED. I TOTALLY REGRET USING THIS FIRM.Does anyone know any organisations I could reach out to file an official complaint?

Very helpful.

Due to covid the whole process was delayed and was on the verge of loosing my house and my ISA payment.Star Legal helped me get both the house and the ISA amount on time.Really appreciate the efforts to help me out...I am so relieved.Many thanks to Tara Screen for all the efforts

From start to finish Manak Solicitors were excellent in the conveyancing for our recent house move.We were involved in a reasonably sized chain, and I have no doubt that we would not have exchanged and completed within eight weeks if it were not for Manak driving both ends of that chain.Anil, who worked on our house purchase and sale was exceptional: attentive, friendly and efficient.I would highly recommend Manak Solicitors if you're looking to minimise some of the stress of moving home.

Nice careing friendly solicitor

We chose Star Legal as our conveyancer last September; all other local options were full.Positives: everyone I spoke to was nice/friendly and overall they got the job done.Negatives: they were pretty slow despite the lack of chain. We were first time buyers so probably needed a bit of handholding; I called once a fortnight for a status update and to find out what the next steps were. Despite this, I lost count of how many times a new survey or process seemed to crop up explained. Language wise, there were also a number of these surveys that we were told by SL that we 'needed' and speaking with others now we have learned they were actually optional.Also, my father had kindly gifted me some money towards the deposit, which I declared in our initial onboarding form. Star Legal sat on this information and then announced they needed some extra security checks from my father once this was the last thing standing between us and exchange. By this point it was the end of Nov and we were back in lockdown, and my dad (who is a carer) was asked if he could drive 100 miles to Bristol to have the SL receptionist verify his identity.However, my major grievance is that this was my first and only experience of overt sexism. They continually printed my name as Mrs 'partners surname' despite me continually crossing this out and putting my actual name (we are not married) on all paperwork. I also led on the paperwork, email correspondence and phone calls, and yet if they wanted to contact us, it was always my partner that they contacted. He reached a point where he would just say I don't know

Tried to remove my earier review but unable. I have just been into Star Legal and found the receptionist exceedingly helful. I saw Mr Stephen Pearne quickly and my problem was resolved pleasantly and efficiently. My earlier review was based on 2 phonecalls to a temporary membet of staffCan now highly recommend Star.Legal
