If you want a solicitor who will totally ignore your instructions and charge you for work they are…read morenot asked to do (which serves no purpose other than to line their own pockets to the tune of £360 - work they subsequently tell you they don't think it's a good idea to use) if you want a solicitor who will charge you her hourly fee (£240) for calls her receptionist makes and issues you a bill for £24 for brief correspondence such as seven word emails, if you want a solicitor who will charge you for completely (lengthy) meetings to go through forms you could easily go through at home (for free!) if you want a solicitor who will ignore her professional duty to do her utmost to keep you out of expensive and stressful court hearings, if you want a solicitor who is incompetent even a judge (criticised) her, if you want to employ a solicitor who claims hers is 'considered one of the best family law firms in South Wales' without being able to substantiate her impressive claim, if you want a solicitor that had to make three of her staff redundant, if you have money to waste and love stress - contact Melaniie Lazarus.

I used these solicitors a few years ago. It's a friendly firm to use. When I used it, there were…read morethree solicitors working there. I used Amanda Browne first of all, until she went off on maternity leave. She was exceptionally good - she went out of her way to help me during a very difficult time in my life. After she left, I used Dean Vickery, who was a trainee solicitor. Although very different to Amanda, he was very good, and very supportive when we had to go to court. I've also dealt with the principal solicitor Ceri. I would highly recommend this local firm of solicitors if you're in need to legal help. When I used them, the first consultation appointment was free, so you can then make up your mind as to whether you're going to use them.
Our family has been using Patchell Davies Solicitors for a good number of years and have found them…read moreefficient, easy to deal with and friendly. If you need them to do work they are up front about the charges so you know pretty much where you stand budget-wise, though obviously estimates are just that, estimates. We've recently engaged them to do some work and fully anticipate another satisfactory outcome. In the weird and mysterious world of solicitors I think we have found a decent bunch.
Lloyd and Rowe Solicitors is a pretty understated, large shop fronted firm of solicitors on the…read moreCity Road. They don't give much away in terms of advertising what they do, there's not a single sign in sight, and they are woefully badly represented on the internet as well. I recently tried to help a friend find a personal injury specialist as he had a nasty accident when cycling back from work. He has very little recollection of the accident, but several witnesses have stated that owing to heavy traffic he was forced to cycle over a deep pothole that flung him headfirst off his bike. His facial and dental injuries are substantial, and his loss of earnings alone amount to a significant sum. He has been really poorly as a consequence, and is facing huge bills to correct the damage sustained. He is not litigious in nature, and is resistant to the idea of making a claim. I am just one of his many friends who have looked into the idea of a personal injury claim, as he was unwilling, and too unwell to consider doing this himself. Lloyd and Rowe Solicitors was one of the firms that I tried to look into on his behalf, but I soon dispensed with the idea of recommending them, when all of my research could come up with was a criminal prosecution brought against one of the partners. Mr Lloyd of Lloyd and Rowe Solicitors apparently had a low impact accident on the M4 when driving at two and a half times over the legal alcohol limit. He was accordingly banned from driving for 18 months. Hardly the best commendation for his firm!
I sought advice, on behalf of a very dear vulnerable woman who had no where to turn to, from the…read moreLloyd and Rowe solicitors and was very impressed to find that not only were the partners able to "signpost" me to the right organisations but also were able to recommend me to the best lawyers to help in the case. The case was a very specialist case. As an advocate to this vulnerable woman she is now liberated from the clutches of her heritage. Thank you Llloyd and Rowe solicitors. I would highly recommend them. I would agree with Rachel regarding the shop front and the information available on the internet and perhaps from the reviews the firm will take some action and turn around their negative image.

From the outset we have been extremely disappointed with the service we have received from…read moreGenette's team. Lack of response to queries (taking at least a week to reply to an email if replying at all), calls going straight to voicemail and then being rushed off the phone as soon as we get through to Emma/Bethan has been extremely frustrating. On one call after pushing for an actual answer, one of Genettes assistants raised her voice and advised that if we wanted a faster service, we could pay extra. The most frustrating part of the process has been that we have had to proactively chase weekly for any kind of update and then to be rushed of the phone and spoken to so rudely has created unnecessary stress. The whole process has been held up by the unresponsiveness of the team and we are now at risk of losing the property. The service we have received has been completely unacceptable resulting in us wasting both time and money if the property falls through.

A bit sad writing this review…read more I used Huw Lewis for the sale of my house last year. He was a bit of a character - a bit like a Neath version of Scrooge, sitting in his Victorian style office. I heard that he passed away this year - suddenly in the office. It's a shame, as he was a very experienced and knowledgeable solicitor. The company is still open for business, but I'm not sure about the solicitors or conveyancers working there now as I haven't used them. Also, the offices have been renovated - at least externally - and look really good from outside.
