What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Professionalism and a welcoming manner emerge as the qualities most often praised by those who have used this Ipswich firm, whose family law work includes looking after the affairs of elderly relatives alongside broader legal services. Several customers describe the solicitors handling their matters as experienced and genuinely helpful, and the honesty of the advice given is a point that comes up often.

Fair pricing for the work completed is another recurring theme, with clients noting that matters are dealt with efficiently. Reviews regularly refer to how approachable and courteous everyone at the practice is, from the solicitor managing a parent's affairs to the wider team, and sensible precautions to keep visitors safe during the pandemic also drew approval. More critical accounts point to difficulties getting calls returned, with one client left waiting for a response that never arrived.

Communication problems recur in feedback about the business side of the practice, where a lack of clarity over fees and a perceived absence of attention to detail feature across several accounts, including confusion over what a conditional fee arrangement actually covered. These concerns about responsiveness and transparency sit alongside the positive reports on the standard of legal work itself, with the care of elderly clients' affairs a particular strength.

A thoroughly professional company and immensely experienced.

A really poor service for business, no attention to detail and no clear communication. I was embarrassed for them after having to deal with their litigation team, who wasted our time and their own client’s. Despite being one of the largest firms in the region, they don’t even make it into the top 5 in East Anglia: it’s clear to see why. I instructed out around £300,000 of legal work last year and none of went to Ellisons: for good reason.

I noticed that Ellison’s website advertises “no win, no fee” medical negligence claims, so I emailed them. However, when I spoke with them yesterday, I was told I would still be responsible for fees and expenses, and that they would see if I could secure funding. Yet, no cost estimate was provided. So, a “no win, no fee” Solicitor Is not what you think. I decided not to proceed.

The Solicitor looking after my Mum's affairs is really good. Everyone is very professional and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Ellison's. Thank you.
