My lawhive experience

From the first phone call I was treated with respect and had everything explained to me without any pressure to proceed with the service offered . When I decided to move forward Paulette instilled confidence in me and what seemed a daunting challenge filling out forms etc in a way acceptable to the court system , were explained and worded by herself to meet these requirements. Whenever I asked a question on the portal either she or Char Lee were quick to respond which ment I felt well looked after and within the the time structure everything had been submitted and the financial consent order had being approved by the court ready for the Final Order to be applied for . Many thanks to Paulette , Char Lee and Lawhive

Dealing with a divorce is never easy

Dealing with a divorce is never easy, but working with Paulette and her team made all the difference. She was professional, clear, and deeply supportive from start to finish.

Cohabitation agreement

I contacted Lawhive regarding a Cohabitation Agreement . They took the time to explain the process in detail and delivered, very promptly, exactly what was promised.
Their pricing was excellent.

High-quality legal help

Lidia helped me with a lodger who'd stopped paying rent and wouldn't leave.
She was friendly, efficient, patient, prompt, courteous, professional and effective.
I never felt hurried or patronised and her approach produced the desired result.
I'll have no hesitation in using Lawhive in the future. I think it's an economical way to access high-quality legal help.

Ishrat Khan through Lawhive, excellent service

​We used Ishrat Khan through Lawhive for the sale of our existing property and the purchase of our new home. We received an excellent, highly professional service throughout. Ishrat is incredibly experienced and approachable; he guided us every step of the way with clear communication. He completely managed the process and took the stress right off our shoulders, allowing us to rest assured we were in safe hands. Highly recommended!

I would definitely not recommend…

I would strongly and unequivocally advise against using Lawhive.

Our family property sale completed on 22 May, with a significant sum transferred into their client account on completion. Despite this, the firm unreasonably withheld the sale proceeds for 26 days, causing avoidable and wholly unnecessary delay.

All relevant documentation was provided well in advance of completion. There was no justification for issues being raised only after completion, yet that is exactly what happened. This led to a completely avoidable situation involving prolonged uncertainty, distress, inconvenience, and financial loss, including lost investment opportunity.

The handling of this matter reflects a clear breakdown in process and coordination between the legal team and compliance function. Issues that should have been identified and resolved before completion were instead surfaced too late, after funds were already received.

The standard of communication throughout was unacceptable. Calls were routinely ignored, and emails frequently required repeated chasing before any response was received. Updates were not provided proactively at any stage. For what should have been a straightforward property transaction, the service was disorganised, slow, and poorly managed from start to finish.

Overall, this experience fell far below any reasonable standard expected of a legal service handling high-value client funds. I would not recommend this firm under any circumstances and we are now escalating a formal complaint.

Hi Damyanti,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the distress, inconvenience, and prolonged uncertainty this situation caused you and your family.

We completely acknowledge that our service, case management, and internal communication fell far below the professional standards we strive to maintain. There was a clear breakdown in coordination between our legal and compliance functions, which led to an administrative silo, slow response times, and a total lack of proactive updates. These issues should have been identified and settled prior to completion, and we take full responsibility for the avoidable delays this caused.

To provide some context, the retention of funds was due to mandatory security checks and strict regulatory compliance guidelines regarding documentation and account verification. While these risk-management protocols themselves were necessary and appropriate to safely secure and release high-value client funds, we deeply regret that they were surfaced so late in the process.

As noted in our formal private response, we have offered compensation which we hope brings a meaningful settlement towards addressing the impact of our service failings.

Thank you for bringing these internal gaps to our attention so we can actively work to improve our processes. We sincerely wish you and your family the very best moving forward.

Kind Regards,
Elliott

Laila Gutin

I had the pleasure of having Laila Gutin as my solicitor. From day 1 she knew my needs exactly, and commenced working on them immediately. Laila kept me informed more or less on a daily basis as to what was occuring in my case, until its successful conclusion.
Laila acted with total professionalism, politeness and worked relentlessly my case. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
