Painfully slow and constantly delaying things. So bad the estate agent has said they wont deal with them again.

1 Star for the receptionist
Found them from Google. Totally disappointed how the solicitor looked into my issue and the way treated.

My experience is of Elizabeth Feeney. We have documented evidence of them adding MONTHS of delay to proceedings by refusing to answer emails, phonecalls and letters. They seem to have an endless series of unfortunate family events that require trips around the globe. We sent them a letter in the first week of December, their reply was dated 13th February. They could have be awaiting instruction, but simply hid from chasers. They are unprofessional.

Really pleased with my outcome. I took some advice from Arya Roe and he was able to get me a really good outcome. I found his secretary very pleasant to speak to and they were always very helpful.

My mother wanted some clarification on an issue Wilkins dealt with a few years back. After someone finally calling her back after three phone calls chasing them we found them condescending, rude and unhelpful. Would never use again!
