Failed to respond to the solicitors

Failed to respond to the solicitors emails failed to request and share information in a timely manner When contacted incredibly rude Avoid

Useless unreliable and always on holiday

So I found the supposed 2 3 immigration solicitor in my area Got told in our first meeting lasting nearly 2 hours that I should do what I felt was right absolutely no legal advice at all Shortly after sub 1 month ended up being deported Attempted to contact Sohan Sidhu at least six different times every time I received an automated email reply he was on holiday out of the country and to contact Tracy She replied via email and stated she cannot comment or aid at all and I needed to wait for him to return a week later get a reply saying do what I feel is the best course of action for my situation AGAIN 0 legal advice After being separated from my family for multiple months my VISA finally is approved I contact Sohan Sidhu again and yet again get another reply to contact Tracy This is clearly a pattern now so I clearly explain that my visa is approved that I clearly do not need their services None actually given to begin with and request the remainder of my 750 retainer be returned to me Now to be perfectly clear I did not get my retainer back instead I got a bill for 200 stating those nine emails our initial meeting and nine reply emails AUTOMATED mind you is valued at 1000 at least according to this solicitors office I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone even talk to these people since they feel that each automated email response is worth a minimum of roughly 30 each at least according to the bill I received 1000 conversation for 1 hour 42 minutes 250 per hour and 18 total emails doing the math that makes each email 30 per automatic reply AVOID THEM LIKE PLAGUE AND CORONA combined

Unprofessional and aggressive language used

The correspondence I ve encountered with this firm and its solicitors is quite unprofessional and lacking in ethics It looks like bullying tactics to me with aggressive and deliberately offensive language used and abuse of power playing on people s ignorance of the law The solicitors mark it private and confidential but legally it isn t But want you to think that you can t disclose it to others for advice or guidance I believe you are breaching the Solictors Regulation Authority Not the sort of solicitors that I would want to hire or work with

These guys made a complete mess of my

These guys made a complete mess of my mum s probate claim We ended up having to get outside advice as their figures were so contradictory Though Ellisons admitted they d made a mistake they didn t offer any meaningful discount

Paid 1800 for a loan agreement contact

Paid 1800 for a loan agreement contract and told it was water tight Only for Graeme to constantly charge thousands more in fees and collecting almost the same amount Roughly 1000 out of 20 000 and when it came to going to court which was never an option before never explained so he jumped ship So after 6-8k in extra payments and me now hugely out of pocket He decided to ditch me and leave me high and dry thousands out of pocket While Graham made a tidy 8-10k for writing a contract and did nothing else and when he realised he may not make much more as I refused What was the point of the legally binding agreement to then do nothing about it Genuinely better off throwing it down the drain Thanks Graeme Basically took me for a ride then left when it came to actually doing something As we all know solicitors are expensive but usually for a reason He made thousands and I lost thousands and he showed the whole thing to be as useful as a dead badger At least they don t charge thousand for nothing Outdone by a dead badger Spineless weasel

Ellisons were totally unhelpful

I visited the Ellisons branch in Head Street Colchester today in order to find out if they could help with a Land Registry Transfer of property that I was undertaking I explained I needed a Solicitor to complete an identification form for my wife and myself so that the Land Registry could complete my transfer We were asked if we were previous clients of Ellisons when we explained that we were not we were then told they did not deal with our type of request and we would need to find another solicitor Totally unhelpful and I fail to see why they would not deal with such a request as they were a firm of solicitors We walked less than 100 hundred yards onto North Hill and found another firm of Solicitors Kew Law who were the complete opposite of Ellsions s Kew Law were totally helpful from start to finish and dealt with our request within the hour We are glad we are not a client of Ellisons and we will certainly NOT be putting any business their way We will go to Kew Law for all our needs as they are a 5 star caring friendly firm of Solicitors

This Company seems to take a bullish

This Company seems to take a bullish approach before conversation I ve felt bullied and confused by their emails They also lack simple grammar skills

AVOID LOTS OF IGNORING

Ellisons solicitor stated that conveyancing takes a very long time can take months depending on the council and the searches There are numerous legal issues with this statement lol I just got off the phone with Tendring Council and they said it would take no more than three days So here are some of the clues why they say conveyancing which is simply solicitors filling out forms takes a long time 1 My solicitors did not answer my emails for over 17 days - until I told her never to contact me ever again 2 My solicitor ignored my suggestion to meet us in person3 My solicitor ignored my suggestion that I meet her colleagues4 My solicitor ignored my suggestion that we meet via video-call so she could verify me but she kept emphasising that she has the final say and may not approve me being verified because she never met me In the end I realised that she does not want to do her work or to represent me so I emailed her telling her not to ever contact me again Finally this law firm employs a third-party app to link clients bank accounts with the third party the law does not require this as part of the verification procedure and my bank does not allow third-party access which is not unusual but again the solicitor dismissed me writing to her and telling her my bank does not allow it If you want the third party to have access to your client s bank account you should sign a contract stating that if any funds go missing you would refund them It s beyond me that someone would let a third party access their account and convince me it s beautifully safe - your bank fraud team will laugh at you and won t refund you any ss if they go missing because banks don t allow third parties access When you deceived me about how long searches take my alarms went off I noticed a Trustpilot review of one man who claimed that after using this app he lost 6000 I grabbed a screenshot of the review and I agree with every single one on this page Avoid The law society says that solicitors should not put anyone s case and money at risk and act in their best interests i realised this was not happening so I ended the business relationship My time wasted - a total 20 days Since writing this review I instructed another law firm 2 weeks later and within 7 days we completed all Ellison s solicitor was unable to do and we are expecting the search results on 29 10 2024 Glad I trusted myself and quit Ellisons -turns out I was right

Flatline - completely ignored

I emailed this business via the reviewsolicitors website - this solicitor was top rated of all in Chelmsford My question was simple regarding sire access via my land and i expected after initial communication to have a paid face to face meeting with them I also requested a call back that day just in case they have missed the email and that they can respond via their preferred method Three weeks later i have received no response whatsover
