Lyons Davidson Solicitors - Bristol Reviews 

Dear Lyons Davidson,

Thank you for your response.

Your confidence in having “addressed the concerns in full” is noted. However, the record reflects otherwise. The Trustpilot review stands as a documented summary of procedural and reputational concerns, grounded in comparative legal assessments—not allegations, but evidence.

Two flawed internal assessments are now juxtaposed with two independent barristers’ evaluations and the Legal Lens report, which collectively expose the choreography of omission and misdirection. These are not opinions—they are documented truths, and they speak louder than denial.

Should you wish to engage substantively with the evidence, the archive remains open. Otherwise, your silence will be annotated accordingly.

Kind regards, Elford Codrington

David and his paralegal were both excellent, they explained everything that was going to happen and any likely outcomes on my court date.

They were thorough and kept me informed throughout. On my court date the barrister was well versed in my case and we secured a favourable outcome.

I had a very good experience with Lyons Davidson, especially with my solicitor Amayi. From the beginning to the end of the family court case, she was patient, supportive, and very friendly. She always accepted my opinions, listened carefully, and used her own experience to guide me.

All the emails, calls, and conferences I received were very clear, helpful, and always on time. Even when Amayi was away for a short time, her colleagues supported me straight away, so I never felt any gap or delay. The communication within the team was strong, and I always felt well looked after.

The proceedings lasted around seven months, but throughout the whole journey I felt supported and guided. In the end, everything was fruitful, and I got the positive result I was hoping for.

I am very thankful for Amayi’s hard work and for the way she and her colleagues stood by me and my family. I would highly recommend Lyons Davidson and Amayi for anyone who needs help with family court matters.

Alanna explained everything fully with regard to my claim - very impressed

Long delays and string of different paralegals.
Insurance Company clients are easy-money.
Haste to throw out your matter as soon as you complain.
Avoid if you can.

LyonDavidson solicitors dealt with my car accident claim. The solicitor dealt with my claim in a professional manner and constantly kept me updated on the progress of my case.My case concluded on the 19th September 2025.

The start of the process wasn’t my best experience with the company. Since David Bushell took the helm, ( with a little help from James Chapman ) it has been a totally professional process with a positive outcome.

David Ollivere, my Solicitor, was very professional. He explained my situation legally and the options open to me very clearly and often using other case examples which really helped make the point he was wanting to demonstrate. He was very efficient administratively, responding in a timely way. I also found him supportive, kind and empathic - I felt he was very much on my side, which was very important to me. He gave good advice which proved to be just the right way forward. I can highly recommend David and Lyons Davidson.

A seamless experience from start to finish.
Great communication from my case handler throughout.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

Patience with someone not used to the legal processes and doing things online polite and considerate

Communication was excellent, responsive and clear. Initially by Andy Vraitch, then taken over by Adam Sedgwick, the matter (a road traffic accident) was handled professionally and carefully, leading to a judgement 100% in our favour. The case took well over a year to resolve, but this was entirely due to the court system and was no reflection on Andy or Adam's handling of the matter. I am entirely satisfied with the service received.

Andy Vraitch managed my file with professionalism, responded to enquiries speedily and was extremely helpful throughout. He provided advice and guidance when required and ensured I was fully supported throughout.

Following a horrific road traffic collision in September 2022 I was assigned Mr David Bushell to handle my personal injuries claim. I could not have been assigned a more experienced, compassionate, extremely knowledgable, most helpful Senior Associate of Lyons Davidson.
This period of my life and that of my family has been horrific to say the least but the support I have received from David has been first class.
From day one all correspondence was made direct to David's email as well as his direct telephone number which I found reassuring rather than going through a portal/switchboard.
It is coming up to the three year anniversary of the RTC and a settlement has been reached recently with the help, knowledge and support of David.
The sudden passing of my husband during this period has shocked and devastated our whole family and David has shown so much compassion to us and has taken this into account whilst trying to achieve the best outcome regarding the settlement. Thank you David!!

I was involved in a multi car accident (not my fault) , which made things more complicated. It took over a year to resolve. Lyons Davidson, in particular Patrick, my case handler was helpful.

I was kept well up to date with a process I am unfamiliar with as I've never been in the situation of needing legal support before. Communications were timely and helpful and I was pleased with the advice given and actions taken on my behalf which led to a satisfying outcome. Much appreciated, thank you.

Very satisfied with the service I received and felt they had reviewed my case thoroughly, even though it was not possible to take it further.

The Service Was Very Good Would Highly Recommend

Really well handle after nearly years well done

Not a good experience at all, took nearly 4 years (yes that's 4 years) to settle a clear proven case of vet negligence. Poor communication right the way through, used unqualified staff, often working 3 day week, or half days. No responsiveness or urgency, nearly cost me the case, case could have been settled in 18 months. Would not recommend to any client in my situation.

Hi, I found the services that Lyons Davidson's provided were excellent especially by my case handler, he was very professional and his guidance and advice helped me received a satisfactory outcome following my accident, their systems were very user friendly.
