Very pleased with Shirley's help in getting our wills done - and with the end result. Everyone…read moreneeds a will! Shirley put in a lot of time and worked hard to get the will completed as we wanted it. We weren't sure what the options were or what we wanted to start with and it took a few iterations to get it right. but the cost was reasonable and Shirley has a good knowledge of the subject. I suspect that this was much more economical than most solicitors would be, and there's no doubting Shirley's commitment to looking after her clients and getting it right right. Many thanks - recommended!

As I find myself currently waiting to be sued me for fees that I paid in June 2016, I cannot agree…read moremore with the review posted opposite. The reviewer could quite easily be detailing my exact experience with this rude, unprofessional & money-grabbing firm - that is Mr Sheridan himself.

Mr Sheridan dealt for me with a litigation case against another law firm…read more Contrary to the description provided by the firm, I was sent a contract that stated his hourly rate (200 an hour before vat) and other costs without any commitment from his side and certainly no "no win no fee" clause (as described) Though the final result was satisfactory from my point of view , I think that the case was pretty clear cut and it's success not due to any special effort on his part. On the contrary,all responsibility for gathering information and documentation for the case was put on me and I felt that I was doing a lot of work. I also disagree with the "friendly ,approachable and professional..." description with which the firm describes itself. Starting with "approachable" - I often sent e-mail messages to his office which were totally ignored, not even a confirmation. The office work seemed to me very sloppy. I was asked to repeat information a number of times, since apparently nobody seemed to keep track of my very thoroughly detailed email messages. The messages I received from his office were written unclearly and often failed to answer simple questions I had asked previously. When after a month of no response from his office I complained about this situation, Mr Sheridan became angry and said that if I wish my case to me dealt with "urgently" his hourly rate would increase. When I questioned his final cost (which seemed to me extremely high for writing 2 letters and about 4 emails) he again became very angry and accused me of being "disrespectful" and trying to undermine his work. He also childishly (and in my eyes unprofessionally) threatened to withdraw his request for a contribution to his fees from the sued lawyers firm. In the final invoice he wrote that the time spent on the case was 7 and a half hours with 26 letters, emails and faxes, while I had been sent copies of only two letters, no faxes and about 4 to 6 e-mails. Towards the end of the case,in two days his final cost jumped from 1800 pounds to 2320 (before vat). I believe that this increase was some kind of revenge for my criticism since his explanation to this increase was only: "negotiations on costs and with yourself"
