What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Alexander & Co Solicitors handles family disputes, residential conveyancing and estate administration, and the feedback gathered from clients centres on how clearly each stage is explained. Manesha Ruparel, Sammi and Shabana Hussain are singled out by name for the compassion and patience shown during difficult family court matters, with reviewers noting that advice arrived promptly and that they felt supported rather than left to chase updates.

On property work, clients repeatedly name Kate, Jessica, Katie, Debbie, Graham, Sharon, Megan and Chris, describing steady communication from instruction to completion and a willingness to talk through searches and paperwork without resorting to impenetrable legal language. A detail many reviews return to is the patience shown when third-party delays arose, with buyers and sellers alike saying they were kept informed and never had to press for news.

Those dealing with a bereavement speak warmly of the sympathetic and efficient handling of probate and estate matters. Secretarial and reception support is also mentioned as welcoming and organised, and the fees for conveyancing are described as fair for the work done. Instructions have ranged across shared-care disputes, property sales and purchases and estate administration in Derby, with thoroughness and calm guidance the qualities clients return to.

I had previously used A&Co for a house sale, a house purchase, power off attorney, and will. Then, Katie Bassey, Tim Dysteree-Clark and Catherine Alexander were prompt, professional, and very helpful. I returned to A&CO for another house sale. This time the service received was the complete opposite. The quickest response was when payment was due, and incredulously, I received two emails sent on the same day, one in response to an email I had sent, replied to in a matter of an hour or so. I had to sit down. I felt giddy. This was not my experience during the last five months, not at all. I'm afraid this service was night and day compared to my previous experience, and not one that will lead me back to A&CO in the future.

Megan made it easier for me to get through a sad time following the death of my mother. She was sympathetic and a pleasure to deal with. Her efficiency made the whole process of dealing with Mum's estate a lot less stressful than it could have been.

Excellent service from start to finish from Initial meeting with Shabana, obtaining Grant of Probate, though to final accounts and closure. Would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend this family law firm highly enough. My partner was supported through an incredibly difficult and emotional family court process while seeking equal shared care of his children following numerous false allegations. Throughout the entire journey, Sammi and Manesha were outstanding. They were consistently clear, proactive, and reassuring, providing strong and timely legal guidance while continually reminding my partner of his rights as a father with full parental responsibility. Their advice was always practical, honest, and focused on achieving the best outcome for the children. What truly set them apart was not just their legal expertise, but their compassion. They recognised the emotional toll the process was taking and ensured my partner’s wellbeing and mental health were never overlooked. They showed genuine empathy alongside professionalism, which made an enormous difference during such a challenging time. With their support , a fair and secure outcome was achieved, ensuring a father was able to maintain meaningful and protected time with his children. They really do become invested and want the best outcome. Words genuinely don’t feel enough to express the gratitude we have for the support, strength, and outcome Sammi and Manesha helped secure. Thank you both for everything — you truly changed lives.

“I can’t recommend Alexander & Co Solicitors highly enough. Manesha Ruparel went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for me. During a very difficult and overwhelming time, her compassion, patience, and genuine care made a huge difference. She always made me feel listened to, supported, and reassured throughout the process. The reception staff were welcoming and professional, and Manesha’s secretary was amazing — always helpful, responsive, and made me feel valued. I am incredibly grateful for the support I received and would wholeheartedly recommend Alexander & Co to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly cares.”
