DO NOT USE THEM DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY
This company is definitely one to avoid My daughter used them to go to court against her ex partner Long story short after one court appearance decided she was better off to represent her self as the Gepp solicitors just agreed with everything that her ex s solicitor said and didn t seem to have a clue what she was doing So we sacked Gepp solicitors Also she lied to us telling us we could cancel whenever we want and have since been charged the full amount even though most was done by my daughter I later found out that she no longer works for the company but they still charged us and may have still known how bad she was Save your money and steer we ll clear of them

AVOID THEM FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
Worst Solicitors I have ever seen Would not recommend them to my worst enemy Wish I knew they are totally incompetent and useless from the start Terrible experience dealing with them with selling of my property Every time you call them phone goes to an assistant of solicitor who will throw every excuse under the sun to avoid you talking with the actual solicitor And you can sense she s in great hurry to cut you off and want you to put down phone atleast 4-5 times she said the solicitor will call you back but that will never happen Every time you email them you can bet you won t get any reply no matter how urgent it is They never bothered to reply to emails from my other solicitor who were chasing them literally every day regarding our completion date The only time I got email from them is when I owed them monies Since then no communication whatsoever Thanks to them my completion date is now changed and I m suffering extra stress until it s all done now only because they didn t show courtesy to reply to emails and failed to notify buyer solicitor on time to arrange funds I have to take extra time off and stress because of their inefficiency utter ignorance and complete unprofessionalism to give reply to my seller solicitors since one month To the actual owner of the firm - If you re really serious about running this business get back to me and I ll help you with names of that solicitor and his assistant who thinks it s not necessary to reply to their customers urgent calls or emails These guys in office will eventually force you to loose your business whilst on their full pay doing nothing AVOID THEM AT ALL COST THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER DECENT CONVEYANCE SOLICITORS WHO ARE FAR FAR BETTER THAN THEM

My father has had to sack this company
My father has had to sack this company they don t defend legal aid cases properly and their barrister trys to cover up police wrong doings and seems to works for the CPS not the defendant They also allow police time to destroy some evidence of police wrong doings towards their client and to help police try avoid accountability If your freedom and character is on the line then avoid this company at all costs as your just a statistic to them and used like a pawn in a game of chess and seem to be thrown and traded with the CPS so they can trade off another case The Barrister they use seems to work both sides of the bench Some barristers even want to work for the CPS or want work off the CPS so they will try to keep the CPS happy and will throw you to the wolves for their own selfish gain and interest

I was arrested unlawfully by the police In custody I was provided with an on duty solicitor called John John s firm was Gepp Solicitors from Chelmsford John was interested in making money out of nothing Because of this and his incompetence I was a victim of miscarriage of justice John made sure that I was charged by the CPS so he could represent me first at Magistrate s and then consequently at Crown s Court His fee for represent me at Magistrates were 2000 and then 6000 at the Crown Court which I declined but I was stupid enough to pay a 1000 to ask for his presence when I had to go and collect the charges from plods at the police station What a scam Absolutely disgusting behaviour I wish him well if he is still around

Unethical business practices
Unethical business practices I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service provided by gepp solicitors My engagement with this solicitor began after receiving correspondence from the police inviting me to participate in a voluntary interview Upon contacting the solicitor I was presented with a compelling argument emphasising the importance of legal representation which persuaded me to secure their services for an anticipated duration of one hour alongside additional funds to cover potential future legal proceedings Regrettably the service fell short of my expectations The appointment commenced with a significant delay and the advice dispensed was of a nature I discerned could be readily accessed without charge through public sources Despite my initial acquiescence to the fee of 350 per hour based on the solicitor s assurance of value I was subsequently billed a total of 924 in stark contrast to the 350 per hour rate quote Upon querying the discrepancy it was explained that the billing included one hour for the consultation an additional hour for preparatory work and further charges attributed to administrative tasks Given the minimal documentation provided for review a single document comprising a brief paragraph I requested a detailed breakdown of the preparatory and administrative charges Unfortunately my request was met with obfuscation rather than clarity leaving me with a sense of having been unjustly overcharged As a professional accustomed to transparent hourly billing within my own industry I find such practices not only unacceptable but also antithetical to the principles of fairness and accountability It is my belief that clients deserve a clear and justified accounting of services rendered and associated costs The lack of transparency and justification for the charges levied by this solicitor has compelled me to question the integrity of their billing practices and to caution potential clients about my experience

To be avoided at all costs
These Solicitors are vagabonds and to be avoided at all costs They have sold a house where a vulnerable woman with several disabilities lives She was offered a flat by these solicitors to move to but put in such high demands on the sellers that the sellers have pulled out This vulnerable woman will now be out on the streets She has poor communication skills due to a brain injury and struggles with everyday life
