Thank you Alanna!

We are so pleased that we chose Alanna White at the Fareham branch to help us with our wills and Powers of Attorney. At all times she was polite, patient and knowledgeable. Thank you Alanna!

1 star represents BAD... very BAD!

As a Royal Marine Veteran... I awarded Churcher Solicitors One star representing 'BAD'... it is an honest indicator of whether you should consider using them or not... the rest is down to you!

Thank you for your review. We are very proud of our strong association with military personnel, who are both serving and retired. Unfortunately there is little that any solicitor could have done better as you admitted to matters without first taking any legal advice. We were in a position of ‘trying to shut the door after the horse had bolted’. Unfortunately, you were the victim of you own making.

Look around

My house sale fell through therefore I took the house off the market. However, I still paid £200 plus for the work they carried out, be careful and read their terms and conditions. Personally I wish I never went with this firm as there are others out there with ”no sale, no fee” option.

Thank you for leaving a review. In accordance with our terms of business which were sent to you, and you agreed with before any work was undertaken, these are industry standard. You were invoiced for third party costs relating to your abandoned purchase. You would be liable for these costs on a ‘no sale no fee’ arrangement in any event. You were not invoiced for the full time taken by the legal advisor in dealing with the purchase. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Many thanks.

Late Mothers Estate

In what was a very sad circumstances Alanna White at the Fareham branch was so understanding, caring, very professional in her approach and extremely knowledgeable in dealing with a complex matter.

Alanna met my mother several times when we were implementing power of attorney for her estate and health and her very kind words about our Mum when she passed away l will always treasure.

Our whole family cannot thank Alanna enough - we will always us Churchers who have been our family solicitors for many generations.

My Personal Claim

After being involved in a bus accident Ms. Bond supported my claim as a student and dealt with my application in a very welcoming, professional and supportive manner. Communication is key, and everything was made clear from start to finish. Anyone considering churchers, I would strongly reccommend.

Portsmouth Branch

Michelle Low at Churchers undertook the conveyancing for me in relation to the sale of my late Mother's flat. As I was selling from a considerable distance, Michelle's prompt efficiency, reliability, proactive communication and consistent focus made all the difference. A really positive experience from an excellent company which I would unhesitatingly recommend.
Thank you Michelle - You made life much easier at a difficult time.

A Claim for Personal Injury

A satisfactory outcome to a claim for personal injury as a result of a fall in a local shop of a large chain. Negotiated by Ms Bond who kept me informed of progress over the 12 month process.
An education on how drawn out such a claim can take.
Thanks Claire and Churchers.

Criminal law matter - very helpful!

A family member of mine had a criminal law issue to resolve recently, which I approached Churchers about with very short notice of the deadline to resolve the issue. Ian Robinson (Managing Partner) dealt with the case, finding us a barrister to represent my family member in court. Ian communicated with us very clearly and concisely about the route which we needed to take to conclude the issue in the best way. He was very helpful and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

We consulted Churchers in Ryde…

We consulted Churchers in Ryde concerning a boundary dispute but were very disappointed with the service received. Our first meeting was cordial and encouraging and we went home remembering several key promises.

Firstly, that we would receive a client care letter reiterating all we had been told. We have never received this letter, in spite of frequently requesting it.

Secondly, that we could ask for an account at any time. Again, in spite of asking for accounts on various occasions throughout the process, we never received one.

Thirdly, that we could contact our solicitor or if he was unavailable, his clerk, at any time, by phone or email. We frequently waited for periods of ten days, two weeks or more for any response, even following repeated emails and phone calls . Our messages were never even acknowledged.

We did not feel that we received any useful legal advice on our boundary dispute from our solicitor, which was the purpose of employing him.

Finally, when we received a bill for over £7000, we asked repeatedly and over a period of several months, for a breakdown of the bill. The request was apparently ignored as it was never acknowledged until we chased it up with irritated phone calls to the company's head office.

While we cannot of course comment on their proficiency in other areas of the law, we feel obliged to report that in the area of boundary disputes our experience with Churchers has been very disappointing.

We would also suggest that it is a simple matter of courtesy, let alone good customer relations, to at least acknowledge receipt of emails, and to make an effort at replying to them in a reasonable period of time.

Dear Mrs Edgerton.

Thank you for your review. I am very sorry that you are unhappy with the service provided, from your review it is clear that your matter was not progressed to the high standards we usually work to. I have looked at your file and I have spoken with the solicitor that advised and represented you. I always welcome feedback, and try to act constructively in response to it.
I am sorry that your initially positive experience of Churchers was not maintained. I note that, following advice from our firm and advice from a specialist barrister arranged through Churchers, the neighbouring parties concluded negotiation of a settlement of this matter themselves.
I am truly sorry that you do not feel that the advice given assisted in that process.
Should you wish to discuss your concerns further, please do not hesitate to phone me on 01329 822333.

Regards Ian Robinson

House Purchase

House Purchase
My recent house purchase had proven to be quite difficult & protracted, with many moving pieces along the way. However, despite this, and a change in solicitor in the latter stages of getting to exchange, I was given 100% support and service throughout. Buying a house in England isn't an easy process & can get quite emotional at times, & I was given complete sympathy & where necessary some tough love, which was always really appreciated & respected. I would not hesitate in recommending Churchers to others.

Complete 5 stars to both Elizabeth Moger and Nickie Luxford

Elizabeth and Nickie, you have both been incredible. Special thanks to Nickie, being there at the end of a phone call or message whenever I had a question. With this being my first home purchase, it was extremely daunting to begin with but you explained things so well, you’ve been approachable, super efficient and so helpful throughout the whole process. I couldn’t have asked for better support and explanation of the legal side of my house purchase - I would highly recommend Churchers Solicitors in Southsea for anyone needing assistance. Thank you for making my house buying process so smooth!
