Farnworth Shaw Solicitors

I rang this company as me and my partner were going through a transfer of equity. I spoke with the Conveyancing team in the Colne branch who was not helpful in any way! He initially sent a letter to our mortgage company stating he would be acting on our behalf, after the mortgage company received this letter I didn’t here anything from the solicitor for 2 weeks. After the first week I called and left a message as he was busy, in the second week I called again, but he was "busy" once again. So I told the receptionist could he please call me back asap as it was important. Still no call after the third week so I called again and yes...... you guessed it right he was "busy" AGAIN! Very poor service, we could have had the transfer completed in these three weeks, complete waste of time and obviously thinks he is too good to reply to his customers. Disgusting! I am now dealing with Steele & Son Solicitors who are very helpful, talk you through each step and give you a decent quote for the minimal work that is carried out for the simple transfer of equity. I would not recommend using this company if you are looking for a helpful, speedy service. Hope this review helps people who are looking for a decent solicitor.

This was the second solicitor i tried and got a very warm welcome instantly when we arrived at reception from the two girls. One of the girls booked appointment for me for the following day. We met Mandy and she was so helpful at putting our mind at ease. We talked about what should have happened and should not have happened and what needs to put in place to go forward. We left feeling confident that the solicitor was up for the job in hand and any work would be kept to minimal to keep cost down and a quote would be provided before any work began. Couldn't be happier.

Brilliant service so far. Thank you.

UPDATE: A couple of weeks have passed since I made this review but I have had an update since then. Fahrat Unnisa insisted to me that I wasn't entited to legal aid. However I have since been advised that she was wrong!! I am so glad that I didn't take her advice as I would have been stuck. I felt so depressed and helpess after speaking with her that I almost gave up hope. My advice is to not waste your time and money/legal aid with Farnworth Shaw. Save yourself the heartache and visit one of the many other Solicitors in Nelson, Colne or Burnley who actually listen to what you have to say.

I visited the Nelson office and the lady on Reception was really nice and welcoming. However when I met Fahrat, the Solicitor, I felt she lacked any sort of empathy and even politeness at times. I felt like I wanted to leave almost as soon as I sat down. Fahrat spent much of our short time talking over me which was particularly difficult as I have trouble hearing. Very disappointing.

A corrupt law frim that is only in the business for money and know when there clemts are lying but well help there cliemts commit perjury in court . If there any justice this frim would be investigted and there licence to practice law would be revoked . so that this frim could no longer practice law with in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ..

Everything comes at a price spent £1000 nearly or more on responding to my divorce and that was in 2016, but still no absolute but at a extra cost to myself I will have to get it myself so feel like I have paid for nothing really cos I have to pay courts to sort it out now and to think i thought I was paying a all in package but not the case I found out to my expense

3 phone calls, 2 emails and still no reply to my request for legal services. They must be earning a fortune from other clients to be in a situation to ignore new business.

Fabulous. Extremely helpful and my go to place if I need a solicitor. Ty

Excellent solicitors for conveyancing on properties. Louise is highly knowledgeable, responds quickly and they dealt with as much paperwork as possible meaning we had less stress. Highly recommended and we have dealt with them numerous times.
