Highly recommended!

We dealt with Nicholas Talboys and Morgan French at Watkins who were absolutely fantastic. Prompt and detailed replies and very through with all the queries. I’ve never received such service from any solicitors. Highly recommended for conveyancing needs!

Incredible service

Samantha was incredible.

We had a very tight deadline for completion and she pulled out all the stops to make it happen. Every question was answered quickly and concisely.

Samantha was extremely compassionate and understanding to the situation. She made a very stressful situation a lot easier

Child custody, abusive relationship

I reached Watkins solicitor regarding child custody with my emotionally abusive ex husband. It resulted my child is living with him now. They were calling me 5 min before the court to explain me what they will propose to the judge. Never ever replied to my emails regarding the constant abuse i was victim of by my ex. When I was calling reception to speak to my solicitor, Beverley Watkins, the reception was saying she will call you back and never called back. They made me pay for her service even though I have right for legal aids . So please don't use this firm.

Rude and unprofessional.

Very disappointed with the service. I provided detailed information about a serious matter involving a child, and was told I would hear back, but the firm never responded, not even to confirm they couldn’t take the case. I had to follow up myself and was still ignored. For such a serious issue, the lack of basic courtesy and communication is disgraceful.

Dismissive and disorganised service – not recommended for first-time buyers

We used Watkins Solicitors in Bristol for our first home purchase and were very disappointed with their service.

We were passed between several solicitors with little continuity. Emails were often sent to only one of us, even though we’d asked repeatedly to be included jointly. Key dates like exchange and completion were not properly communicated — we found out from the sellers first.

Documents arrived without logical order or context, the client app was never updated, and when we asked for more guidance, replies became short and curt.

After completion, we raised a formal complaint outlining these concerns. The firm dismissed every issue and took no responsibility, offering no apology or reflection.

Buying a home is stressful enough; this made it worse.
We wouldn’t recommend Watkins Solicitors Bristol to first-time buyers or anyone expecting clear communication and professional client care.

Efficient and fast Conveyancer

Friendly, helpful and knowledgable, after a disappointing esperience with a trainee solicitor elswhere, I was lucky to discover Samantha Finn. Working at Watkins Solicitors, she was efficient and fast and what she didn't know, she found out. This included steering a way through the bureacratic nightmare in conveyancing of a 'deed of variation.' What's more she had a sense of humour which together with Sharon the receptionist made for a good experience.

We understand how important it is to have a conveyancing team who are thorough, responsive and able to guide clients clearly through more complex legal points, including matters such as a deed of variation.

It is also lovely to hear your comments about Sharon and the support you received from the wider team.

Excellent Service

We recently used Watkins Solicitors for both the sale of our old property and the purchase of our new home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Samantha Finn was absolutely brilliant throughout – professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive from start to finish.

She kept us fully informed every step of the way, responded quickly to any questions, and went above and beyond to keep the whole chain moving. Even when things became stressful, Samantha remained calm, proactive, and reassuring, ensuring that everything stayed on track for completion.

We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Samantha Finn and the team at Watkins Solicitors to anyone buying or selling a home – a truly 5-star service!

AVOID!!

If you want to receive a really poor service and have literally 0 communication in almost 18 weeks then definitely go with this firm!

Got so fed up I decided to pay the “abortion fees” and get a different solicitor.

Absolutely shocking.

They don't answer calls or e mails, and pass you around from solicitor to solicitor

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. Prefer clients who pay privately and if you do secure legal aid your case takes a back seat. Beverley Watkins is rude and unprofessional and Emily Mitton made serious allegations about myself believing the lies of Milton Keynes City Council. I have 2 Judicial Review cases with Watkins 1 case still hasn't been resolved despite an emergency court hearing at the High Courts in London the other case has been with Watkins for over a year and hasn't moved in All that time. Watkins don't care about vulnerable children and adults who are being failed by Local Authorities unless your a private paying client and Watkins can make the headlines!! Avoid this Law Company at all costs

Watkins Solicitors takes all client feedback seriously and is committed to providing the highest standard of legal representation to all our clients, whether privately funded or supported by Legal Aid.

Our award-winning Education Law team, led by Beverley Watkins, has a long-standing reputation for fighting tirelessly for children with disabilities, including those facing complex judicial review cases against local authorities.

We understand that legal cases—particularly those involving Judicial Review and Local Authority challenges—can take time due to court scheduling, procedural complexities, and delays outside of our control.

Once Judicial Review proceedings have concluded we may be limited in the further work we can carry out.

However, we remain fully committed to progressing cases as efficiently as possible and ensuring that every client receives the best legal support.

We strongly refute any suggestion that Legal Aid clients receive a lower standard of service. In fact, we are one of the few firms in the country still dedicated to providing Legal Aid representation, having been recognised for our work with vulnerable families, including being shortlisted for Legal Aid Firm of the Year at the 2024 LALY Awards.

If you would like to discuss your concerns in more detail, we encourage you to contact our team directly so we can address any specific issues and clarify the progress of your case. We are here to support our clients and will always act in their best interests.

I would highly recommend Morgan for any conveyancing needs. Despite a complicated chain with many issues, she handled everything professionally and kept me fully informed at every stage. Morgan was always on top of things, providing timely updates, chasing other solicitors when needed. I felt completely at ease. Our exchange went smoothly thanks to her diligence and clear communication. I would absolutely request Morgan again for any future conveyancing work.

Professionalism and friendly efficiency when moving house.

We have recently purchased a house in Hereford. From the outset our purchase was not the usual - we were returning from France after more than 20 years. In addition we had quite an ambitious target for completion. Rebecca (Wilkinson) willingly took on the challenge and provided much needed help and assurance at all stages of the process even when we were faced with really stressful issues regarding currency exchanges and limitations on the movement of funds.
The whole process was handled efficiently and professionally with Rebecca keeping us informed at all stages. We can’t thank her enough for making a very stressful life event much more bearable and highly recommend her for the service she provided

I have used Watkins Solicitors on two different occasions when purchasing/selling property and both times they have been excellent. Most recently working with Cari Evans who I couldn't fault. Efficient communication, thorough in making sure everything was covered and made the whole process seamless. Would highly recommend.
