Wake Smith Solicitors Limited Reviews 68

Pretty shambolic. Received a quote , accepted quote. Was then told they are unable to act on a flat over which is 3 storeys or above. Fine, emailed to say I was disappointed as I had already spent a few hours filling out there forms on there online portal.

Then an email out of the blue to say that they were willing to open a file - and this had been done.

I had in the interim made enquiries elsewhere.

Very shambolic and unprofessional attitude on the phone.

I cannot rate Wake Smith highly enough, specifically Lindsey Canning and Victoria Walker.
Lindsey was the utmost professional, everything was done by the book and at times she was bluntly honest with me. Everything you need from a solicitor.
Vicky was my point of contact, always available, consistent, supportive and very helpful. Dealing with a difficult subject with empathy and humour is a credit to Vicky's character.

Thank you to all involved in a case that took almost 4yr to the day to get justice for my father who almost lost his life due to an NHS incompetant surgeon.

Excellent service from the moment I made the call late at night in desperation.

Everything explained clearly & sensitively.

Stayed in touch from day one.
Pleasant, Friendly, Expert Team.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart in helping me to help my father.

John Breeze is outstanding. His expertise, clarity and care make a huge difference. He inspires confidence and provides superb value by giving advice that you trust. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I was required to contact a solicitor due to needing some employment legal advice. Probably within 2 hours I received a call to get more information about my case, and from the get go the service that I received was outstanding. The best experience I’ve had with a Solicitor to date. The friendly lady who helped me throughout a difficult process provided prompt updates, ensured she was always available for support and made the whole situation easy for me to understand. I couldn’t recommend Harriett Gardner enough.

Brilliant service from the conveyancing team. They kept us regularly updated on the transaction and were always easy to reach when we had any questions.

Harriet was brilliant. Understood the requirement implicitly. Quick and accurate. A pleasure to do business with. Recommend.

Great service, communication and outcome from Scott Haslam and Dylan. No need to chase

Very impressed with the way I was treated, they were kind and very considerate and sympathetic to my concerns.All my questions and queries were always answered promptly and honestly.
Very professional and they did exactly what they said they would do regarding my case.
I would certainly recommend them to anyone and I would not hesitate to use them again.

I needed advice on an agreement, which wasnt something I had needed before. I found Wake Smkth and gave them the information. I was assigned a solicitor called Harriet Gardner, who immediately put me at ease.

Harriet took time to explain each and every part of the agreement and advised me accordingly as to what it all meant and what I needed to do.

She made it an extremely easy and simple process which was much appreciated.

I would highly recommend Harriet Gardner at Wake Smith for any similar needs to anyone.

Having been satisfied previous clients of Wake Smith we called them again when we knew we needed a litigation solicitor for a small claims case.
We were promised a call back probably the next day but didn't receive one.
We repeated the process on 2 more occasions with the same result.
The receptionist was disinterested.

Perhaps Wake Smith are too busy but if so it would have been helpful to us, and avoided wasting our time, if we had simply been told they couldn't help us on this occasion

I’m This firm were acting for a client who was purchasing my property.
After requesting completion dates for a few months, I was suddenly told by my estate agent that the a mortgage offer on the purchasers side of the transaction, would expire if I didn’t complete within 7 days.
I’ve therefore went to huge effort and expense to clear the property .
3 days before completion I was collecting keys for a storage unit to rent temporarily when I received a phone call from my estate agent saying that the purchaser did not have sufficient funds, nor a mortgage in place.
Wake-Smith were “speechless” and I have to pay my solicitor £1000 for the abortive sale costs.
My solicitor has informed me that the buyers solicitor and the estate agent are obligated to ensure that there are funds in place to purchase the property.

Reply from Solicitor:-
Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
We note that you are not, and never have been, a client of Wake Smith Solicitors.
Whilst we take all concerns raised seriously, unfortunately we only comment on matters that are raised by our clients.

I didn’t request a comment from you , I just wanted to make reviewers aware of the facts of my case and the service you provide.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I cannot thank or praise Lindsey Canning and her Assistant Victoria Walker enough for the care attention afforded throughout this difficult process.
The diligence and foresight afforded to me was both considerate and reassuring at the same time. Communication was concise and timely, throughout both were incredibly patient.
Explanations and suggestions were always forthcoming. Without hesitation I would wholeheartedly recommend. Thank You.

I would like to thank Laura at Wake-Smith for a tremendous service she has provided over the last 3 times we have needed her expertise. Moving home can be one of the most anxious times of your life but Laura took a lot of the stress away. She is one of the most efficient, reliable, knowledgeable and competent people I have ever dealt with; a true professional which I believe to be a rare find these days. Thank you

During a very stressful and difficult time, Lindsey and Victoria were both supportive, empathetic, professional and sensitive which helped me throughout the financial dispute with the result I was hoping for. I would highly recommend Wake Smith Solicitors.

I have no hesitation in recommending Wake Smith Solicitors. We have used them on a number of occasions. Most recently my Son has used them for his divorce and financial agreement. Lindsey and Victoria were extremely helpful and professional, and helped him through his most difficult situation. Thank you so much.

We used Wake Smith for our property purchase and were very pleased with our solicitor Tom Weightman. He acted promptly at each stage of the transaction, answered all of our questions thoroughly and advised us about a couple of complexities we weren’t aware of. We would happily recommend him to others.

Honest, helpful and principled.

Wake Smith guided me through my case every step of the way and never mislead me. My trust in their work never wavered and it was met with an exceptional result.

Would recommend to anybody who would like to use their services.
