Pardoes

I have been using Amanda Shaw from Pardoes for over a year. I have had a lot of contact with her, face to face, phone and email, she has also represented me in court several times. She has a strong ethical and moral compass and is very upfront, but respectful. I have been very happy with the out come of all the work she has done for me.

The worst solicitors firm I have ever dealt with, Amanda Shaw was the solicitor I had been using and to say she was useless would be the biggest understatement eve. She talks the talk but when it comes to doing what a solicitor should be doing, she fails to deliver. She was never available for me to speak to on the phone, it would take her days to respond to me via email if she ever did, she failed to submit vital documents on time to the court, which ultimately cost me thousands of pounds in Barristers fees because Judge Prigg adjourned it until they were submitted. My barrister who had also dealt with Amanda Shaw for nealry 20 years had informed me that she prioritises Legal aid work over private work and thus putting private clients to the bottom of her totum pole, the very same clients that actually pay her wages. I was so disgusted by how I was treated I felt a moral obligation to write this review and to pre warn others to stay clear and never ever go near this shoddy and worthless solicitors firm. If I could have given them a zero I would have. I see that someone has recently posted another review mention her and praising her work, I suspect that is a fake review from a friend of family member.

Laura, Debbie and everyone we spoke to at Pardoes were fantastic throughout our house purchase. It wasn't a straightforward purchase for us and there were bumps along the way but we could always rely on them to make things as smooth as possible. As first time buyers it was daunting but they always made everything really easy to understand and were available to explain anything to us whenever we needed. Thank you so much for all of your help, we will certainly be coming back for any future purchases :)

Laura and Debbie were extremely efficient and with all the stresses and hurdles that came with a house sell/move, they handled it all professionally and got the job done for us. Would highly recommend and we wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

I had fantastic help and support from Laura and Debbie at Pardoes when extending my flat lease and then selling it. The communication was great and they kept me involved and up to date throughout the process.
Being in the hands of such experienced professionals made a big difference and I would recommend them to anyone seeking similar legal support.

I required some legal advice on a fairly urgent, plus also somewhat complicated, matter to do with employment & contract law.

I found myself talking with Pardoes, initially with Alex (Legal Assistance) whom then coordinated the opening of a case which was taken on by Maeve (a Pardoes Partner & Employment Lawyer) whom was most professional and who readily grasped the outline of the problem that I was facing.

In very short-order, that then led to an online meeting with Maeve, plus her colleague Nigel (Contract Law specialist) and also with Julian (Legal Counsel) - all ably assisted by Alex - in order that the legal nuances of the case, for what proved to be a multi-jurisdictional / multi-disciplinary and rather complicated problem, were fully understood; such that the best course of further action might be determined.

Whilst such advice might not perhaps be described as 'coming cheap', it must also be considered that professionalism & quality never is; and, therein, I consider that the service & advice provided by Pardoes was absolutely first class and value for money.

Overall, I can thoroughly recommend Pardoes for provision of legal advice.

Many thanks again to all at Pardoes for your rapid response and excellent service.

Negligent solicitors, paid money upfront for counsel opinion, did not do this and kept the money and completely let me down, Judge said its negligence. Did not put matters right. Shameful negligent incompetent solicitors.

Was very helpful and friendly, always good communication and wasn't on the phone and sending letters every 5 mins like some.
Genuinely tried to keep the cost affordable and was sympathetic to my circumstances.
Even managed to save me £8,500 which at the time we had finished our business, but intervened to help, thank you JR
