Report
I had previously had a non melostation order with RMNJ solicitors so thought they would be able to provide me and my daughter with another when my ex partner moved, three roads away from us. Sadly we where told that they could not give us one as he hadn't hit me this time, only stalked us. So they would send out a warning letter to him. I've been waiting about 5 months for this letter now! We have been living in fear with this "man" who lives just around the corner. Then to top it off he broke the law and went to a different department in their solicitors and they tried to say I had a conflict

I bought a property from a vendor who used these solicitors. They were extremely slow and indeed often didn't answer calls or emails. Maybe they were cheap but they weren't cheerful and they definitely weren't professional.

Do not use this company. I had the misfortune of having buyers who used RMNJ for the conveyancing of a property we were selling. Throughout the process, RMNJ have not been responsive and have had to be chased through every step of the process. They have sought fault with the odd inconsequential word, while failing to send a TR1 form - a major part of the process which has now resulted in funds for the property not being released to us. They are unreliable, slow, unhelpful and have taken 10 months to process a sale. It has been an extremely painful process which I hope never to repeat.

DO NOT USE this company. We were recommended this solicitor's by our mortgage broker. There are several reasons why we would not recommend them.
1. Mistakes - they make mistakes and lack knowledge in key areas such as Leasehold and Freehold. Once our purchase had gone through (6 months later) Stephen immediately dropped us and we had to repeatedly request information about the Land Registry process. In the end it turns out our property has been filed incorrectly with the LR which is going to cost us even more money later down the line.
2. Lack of communication - several people handled our case
