What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Court-related children matters and divorce cases form the core of this Ipswich practice, and the feedback gathered from clients divides sharply. On the positive side, more than one customer describes the team as approachable and well informed, with advice delivered in a straightforward manner and without unnecessary expense. Friendliness from staff is a point that comes up often, and repeat clients mention returning to the firm for further help. Clear communication and reasonable costs are also highlighted.

A different set of accounts, however, recurs around slow progress and difficulty obtaining timely updates, with people describing frustration at being passed between members of staff. Rudeness from some employees is mentioned more than once, and some reviewers question how diligently their matters were pursued, particularly where children were involved. Unease about billing and about fees being prioritised over a client's welfare also appears in these lower-rated experiences. The practice handles family court representation, divorce and arrangements for children, and the accounts range from satisfaction with advice received to serious dissatisfaction with how cases were conducted.

Utterly abysmal. Zero legal acumen, horrendous response times, and easily dismantled by a humble LIP.

So slow, like been awkward and rude to their staff. Past all questions to Ecaterina Pandelea she past onto Sorlicitor they were on annual leave as usual and then tell me they needed my partners details because I’m married when he doesn’t live with me yet I applied for legal aid way before I was married, I’m not very happy and it’s disputing they think about money and not a child’s welfare, my son doesn’t want to be around his dad and he does cocaine but yet hard to get evidence of that! He’s got history if violence from myself and other women and even a 13 year old! You wonder why lots children end up with mental health issues as my son been depressed lately from been isolated from me and solicitor's and social services don’t care. I also spoke to someone name Alex with this company and he was been funny asking for 3 months bank statement which I sent ages ago then had to resend to him then resend to Pandelea and she had cheek to keep asking for screenshots of save the change when I shown that’s it’s my bank transferring that on my savings but I don’t actually have savings as soon as random little bits go into my savings I need to use it on bills and shopping! They are proper nosey money grabbers and absolutely rude and don’t know what they are doing! Don’t fool for their rubbish find someone better it’s their loss of earrings that they don’t want help they trying make out of you because they are like government they are greedy because they rather help rich people. Legal aid doesn’t hardly exist anymore I’ve tried a lot of places.

David Wilson solicitors were taken on by the Family Court to represent my 2 daughters during a Family court case post divorce in April 2022. The firm failed to prevent the children being abducted by their mother in September 2022, despite my warnings. Unable to make any recommendation for this law firm at all. Appalling.

Disgusting treatment from solicitors! Kathleen and David should be struck off from law full stop. What a vile outfit of nasty people out for money and nothing more. Please avoid at all costs they will ruin you!!!
