What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing instructions make up the bulk of the work described by those who have instructed this Bournemouth firm, alongside divorce, mediation and a personal injury claim. More than one customer describes residential sales and purchases that ran into unexpected complications, including a bridging loan, with timescales agreed from the outset and completion dates pursued with persistence. Lucy and Amy are named repeatedly for chasing parties beyond the immediate chain and for handling a sale overshadowed by difficult personal circumstances with tact and kindness.

Paige and her colleagues are thanked for securing a favourable outcome while keeping a client grounded during an emotional case, and mediation organised through Anna with Kimberley is praised as fair, well structured and efficient. Dan Norris is credited with maintaining contact throughout family court proceedings, fielding paperwork and telephone calls, while Fay Russell is remembered for prompt replies that eased a demanding period. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is communication sustained before, during and after each matter, with questions answered quickly and the same advisers sought out for later purchases.

I would like to thank Paige and her team for all of their hard work, professionalism and support throughout my case. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome they achieved for me and truly appreciate the dedication and effort that went into helping secure it. Throughout the process, there were naturally times when emotions ran high for me personally, but Paige and her team were always there to keep me grounded, reassured and focused. Their calm approach, guidance and support made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate. I would highly recommend Paige and her team to anyone needing professional, supportive and knowledgeable legal representation.

We worked with Lucy and Mia on our recent house sale. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from day one. The online system they have at the start to help you input all the necessary information really helps with the process (completely different to when I last sold a house 12 years before!) Really attentive, great communication, inspiring complete confidence throughout the process. I would not hesitate to work with them again. It was a fairly lengthy house sale that had some ups and downs along the way with various chain collapses, so it was amazing to work with a solicitor that was so good - one less thing to worry about! Thank you Lucy and Mia!

The team at Trethowans is not only highly knowledgable, but also extremely helpful and supportive in their approach. I cannot thank James Braund and his team, including Isobel Leigh-Warren and Emily Green, enough for their work on my personal injury claim. Their professionality, patience and dedication to assisting me through this challenging and painful process was truly appreciated.

Bridging Loan, with lots of curved balls! Not a problem for Lucy! At probably the most stressful time of our lives Lucy Spollin not only worked tirelessly to get our bridging loan over the line but also communicated with us throughout every stage of the process. I am ocd at the best of times but Lucy, and Mia, ensured my concerns were answered, kept in contact, helped to keep us calm and worked their socks off to get everything completed within our deadline. I cannot thank Lucy enough and have no hesitation in recommending Lucy to anyone buying or selling a property.

I'm extremely disappointed with my current dealings with Trethowans. I paid quite a large sum to help with a legal dispute I have and I believe we have been completely misled by our solicitor Taylor Anderson, adding more stress to an already stressful situation. Taylor quoted for work he was going to do but gave his 'final advice' based on none of the work he mentioned, but still managed to rack up 5 hours worth of time which he is charging us for. I really don't want to make a formal complaint against him as I'm already dealing with so much but I actually think I don't have much choice. Not impressed at all. Would not recommend. Note: after a response from Trethowans they also think it is acceptable to charge for an initial call before a client care letter is in place so be wary of this when you decide to get in contact. I don't believe this is correct procedure based on SRA guidance nor does Trethowans make it clear anywhere that if you do proceed with them the initial call will be invoiced.

If I could give six stars I would. Lucy Spollin provided stellar service regarding the purchase of my first property. She was punctal, informative and diligent. She even sent me replies to emails during holiday and after work hours, which I don't feel should be expected of anyone, but she went above and beyond. Thank you!
