Nichollssolicitors Avis 

I instructed this firm for an urgent family court matter involving my son and paid over £2,200 in fees. After paying, I was passed to their Head of Family Law, Rebecca, who was completely out of her depth. She actually emailed me to admit she "did not know how she could assist me" with my family law case, despite the firm having already drained my funds for what they called "preparation."
​With a strict family court deadline looming, I was left completely stranded without the strategic legal backing I paid for. I had to draft my own position statement and source an external barrister myself just to protect my case.
​I raised a formal complaint regarding this shocking lack of competence in their family department. To the firm's credit, a senior partner stepped in immediately and offered a £1,500 refund to close the file so I could take my case elsewhere.
​While I am glad they refunded the bulk of my money without a prolonged fight, the stress of being abandoned by a "Family Law specialist" right before a crucial court hearing was completely unacceptable. If you have a time-sensitive family law or child matter, look elsewhere.

EDIT/UPDATE:
The firm responded to this review by claiming their "understanding of events differs."

Let's be clear: a firm does not immediately refund £1,500 of a £2,200 fee to "close the file" if they actually did the work competently. They can try to politely minimise my experience in their response, but the written email from their Head of Family Law admitting she didn't know how to help me—coupled with the swift refund—speaks for itself. I stand by every word. They left me stranded before a crucial deadline.

I cannot thank the conveyancing team enough at Nicholls Solicitors for making our house purchase as smooth as it possibly could be! The conveyancing team were efficient, thorough and kept us informed at all stages and were always on hand to answer any queries we had throughout the process. I would highly recommend them!

I used Nicholls for the conveyancing on the sale of home of 27 years and purchase of my new home.
The experience was mostly positive however there were times when I felt like the conveyancer for the sale was acting for my purchaser rather than me, there was a lack of support and I also felt pressured into making decisions.

Kristel was very helpful, very organized, very quick response with the email. Well communicate with the vendor and seller lawyer. I would highly recommand Nichollssolicitor.

Used Nicholls Solicitors probate service for my mother's estate. The solicitor, Matt Nicholls, was very professional and attentive and responded very promptly to telephone calls and emails. He even met me at a weekend to sign the paperwork so that the application could be submitted before he went on holiday. As a result the whole process went very smoothly and probate was obtained in just a few weeks.

I used Nicholls to buy a flat. The solicitor, Kristel, was very efficient and professional. She replied to all my queries quickly and clearly, and made sure the process completed in time.

I have been using Nichols for many years and have always found them to be top class. They just take care of everything from start to finish - nothing is too much trouble. Our most recent dealings were looked after by Adnan and Isabell - completely stress free and Isabell was always available if we had any queries ,always in good humour and could not have been any more helpful. She got everything done with the minimum of fuss. Must mention Kerry also who was always on hand when required. Would highly recommend Nichols to anyone seeking a Solicitor .

Worst company ever I fix there boiler a couple of months ago and they still haven't paid. After chasing them they keep coming up with excuses.

The person I dealt with was syed Rashid masood who met me at the property and now doesn't even attend his phone and apparently he is abroad. I have rang you on numerous occasions and you always have an excuse like now refusing to accept your responsibility and saying that u never dealt with me.

I spoke to Patrick a few weeks ago for the second time

Adnan and his team were helpful, professional and responsive throughout dealing with the sale of my house. The situation had the potential to be very stressful but it couldn’t have been further from that! They were fantastic and made the whole experience relaxed and straightforward. Would highly recommend

We experienced a quick and efficient service on our conveyancing. Nothing was too much trouble and emails/calls were responded to quickly.

My brother recommended them to me, and I'm so glad he did. We used them for our house sale and purchase and they were just fantastic. They were quick, responsive and extremely professional. They made what could have been a very stressful process much better for us. We had some tight deadlines to meet and they turned things around really quickly. We now have the most beautiful family home, we can't recommend them enough!

This is the fist time we have used Nicholls Solicitors, for our first home and they were fantastic and very friendly and professional. Would very highly recommend Nicholls Solicitors to anyone.

Nicholls Solicitors have handled the conveyancing for our house move. With chains falling though and plans evolving it has been a long load. However, the team have been supportive and communicative throughout, guiding us though the process and always willing to answer our questions and concerns in a timely manner. We have felt valued as customers and have no hesitation at all in recommending them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very quick and efficient across all members of staff but particularly Adnan. Will definitely use again - for both personal and business.

Hi all,
This is the second time I have used Nicholls Solicitors, for my personal business. As always, all the staff, I have dealt with, have shown courtesy, prompt return of correspondence and very effective communication.
Sarah Birdsey has been extremely supportive, patient and very professional in her manner.
I would definitely recommend this firm to others.

I have met Sarah at various events so she was my first point of contact, but Adnan dealt with the sale of two houses for me. Very efficient service.

Friendly, seamless and engaging staff at all levels, culminating in Nicholls Solicitors providing our family with a fantastic service

I recently used Nicholls and found the service superb. They were really helpful, diligent and fast in every they could be. I was very happy and would definitely recommend them.

Excellent service I would highly recommend.
