Review Summary

Reviews show a stark contrast: one client praises the firm for helping their family and appreciates an honest response, while others strongly criticise the firm. One reviewer calls Rory Bevins 'rude and arrogant' for hanging up the phone, and another alleges unprofessionalism—claiming they were left to draft an affidavit alone while charged for time. The positive review mentions good service for family affairs but criticises lack of follow-up on a will inquiry.

Review Summary

Clients describe the firm as providing great, friendly service with confidence in the advice received. However, a highly critical review recounts a serious lack of support: a lawyer relocated mid-matter without referral, leaving the client without representation near Christmas. The overall feedback is mixed, with positive experiences countered by significant service failure.
