How JWP Solicitors Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 98%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of JWP Solicitors on ReviewSolicitors.

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?

  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?

I have experience of many lawyers in my long life.
Fiona is by far the best.
She is excellent in every way and knows the law and can give advice far beyond what I have experienced before.
Her memory and understanding is outstanding.
I have no hesitation in recommending her for preparation of a will and power of attorney.
She is the best !

Police questions

This review is for a different branch.

Mr Rathour met me at the police station to represent me while being questioned by police on a family matter,
He quickly put my mind at ease after telling him about my social anxiety issue's, he was absolutely fantastic in regards of quickly asking me for details about the case , before meeting with the police prior to me being questioned, without asking for advice he advised the following, we write out a statement, leading to a no comment interview, and I really need to say that this was a quick efficient and a effective approach to my needs and my case, Mr Narinder S Rathour has a very friendly demeanour with a quick witted response to bullying tactics from the police officers in question,
I would like to thank Mr Rathour from the bottom of my heart
Kind regards Emma Louise

Outstanding

This review is for a different branch.

I honestly can’t recommend Mr. Rathour highly enough. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I found myself in a very difficult and distressing situation involving an ex-partner, and I was absolutely mortified.

Mr. Rathour was professional, non-judgemental, and incredibly supportive throughout. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I really appreciated how he put my mind at ease. During my voluntary interview, I became very upset, and he showed genuine compassion and care.

Thanks to his guidance and expertise, I received a No Further Action (NFA) outcome and have no marks on my DBS. I’m truly grateful for everything he’s done.

Very professional from start to finish. This was a complicated family matter, that Melissa Portlock took on. Melissa informed me of every step and took time to listen to me also. If you are looking for a solicitor to represent you in family matters then I very highly recommend Melissa.
