I first started dealing with this law firm in 2016. From the start they have been very hard to contact and communicate with. I went to them as their reviews for criminal cases and my children went through an extremely difficult time and I was hoping they could help with their cases. My children are now 20/19/17 and none of the adult children have had communication or very minimal if any. The problem is a can’t get them to utilise someone else’s services, as the cases were started. On behalf of my kids, I am appalled, angry and very disappointed with this firm. Would not recommend them at all.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve only recently started working with Scott but he’s already exceeded my expectations. He’s gone above and beyond to help and support me and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. His professionalism and genuine care have made a stressful situation feel so much easier. I’d truly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who actually listens and goes the extra mile.
My fiance was represented by Scott Laidlaw recently and we are very happy with Scott's service and approach to the case. It was a very stressful time in our lives and Scott worked tirelessly to help us get through it. We are eternally grateful for Scott's help and we highly recommend scott and his law firm to anyone needing legal help
Very friendly people, very helpful and great solicitors.
Scott laidlaw and team provided a very thorough service with a good outcome and highly recommend their firm.
Nicole at Matthew Mitchell Solicitors has been an absolute delight to deal with. They are efficient and well priced. We had a difficult insurance company to deal with from an old policy. Unfortunately we settled the estate without resolving as was holding up finalisation. However, Nicole continued to follow up - it took her a year but her persistence paid off. I would highly recommend this company for wills and estate finalisation..
Anything legal go see these people,wills,court,etc. Very good service
