Gillen De Alwis Solicitors

An intelligent person can see that the reviews on here are either five stars from people who say the firm is brilliant - or one star from people with serious grievances against the firm .There is no middle ground as a normal set of reviews would contain. So what does that tell you ? . The reviews are at extreme opposites. Why ? I , and a solicitor colleague have just written to the Solicitor's Regulation Authority reporting the firm for breaches of the codes of practice and so I am giving them the lowest score possible

Terrible firm! UPAID INVOICES They instructed me to act on their behalf to represent two clients of theirs. However, 6 months on have not paid for the work completed, nor have they even attempted to explain the delay in payment (agreed payment terms, within 28 days of invoice). I have it on good authority that I am not the only professional they have treated like this. Avoid this firm at all costs!

Avoid this law firm at all costs! Such terrible and unprofessional staff They make you feel unimportant, and unheard. Very unhelpful in terms of assisting you with lawful matters and they dont provide any advice on decisions. I had a commercial shop contract to sign and they passed my case to 3 different lawyers mid way and barely even read the contract. They are the hardest to get in contact with and you have to chase them several times to get a response or an email. The most terrible service I have received. I Do Not Recommend At All!

After 4 years I found out I was exempt for paying stamp duty. I tried to get im touch with them but I didn't pass their receptionists... Less than 1 star! I'm still thinking if I serve a formal complaint and to address to Legal Ombudsman
