Lyons Bowe Solicitors 319 Wells Road, Knowle, Bristol BS4 2QD

"IMHO - Avoid! They were so unprofessional during my case! I was buying a house first time in my life and everything went wrong. I never spoke to my actual solicitor - Nadia Udich. She never picks up the phone and never replied to my emails. Other people replied and I was dealing with different people all the time. TR1, Contract, Outstanding Fees had mistakes! The seller near dropped the sale because my concerns were not passed to her for 3 months! Save your nerves go somewhere else!"

"Emma Bevan has outright lied, poorly handled and delayed the purchase on a house. Terrible communication it’s completely embarrassing and barely cares in meeting client expectation. Avoid at all costs"

"Awful experience with this company, the solicitor dealing with my divorce forgot to submit bank statements on time, this got me a £5000 fine, then two weeks before my hearing which should have allowed a 50/50 split, got sacked from the company and the owner could not have cared any less and told me to lose my split as the kids would eventually inherit the money from my ex wife!!!! The only person left to deal with this case was the owner ‘Lyons’ who was only qualified as a conveyancing solicitor Years later I am still struggling financially. Steer clear!"

"My solicitor let me down on the final hour of completion (not on the panel). I was recommended Lyons Bowe who picked up the work last min and are generally the only reason we completed. Gemma and her team are fantastic from start to finish. Responded so fast and guided us through what was a fairly difficult transaction. Went out of there way to deal with everything, generally a please to work with! Could not recommend her more to anyone!"

"We were just contacted by the Lyons-Bowe Solicitors for Land registry fee with the email subject starting with "Money Owed". We had, however, paid the land registry fee couple of months ago. Try to avoid them if you can but if you've happened to work with them please be aware of their common mistakes."
