Divorce

Lindsey was amazing.
Communication was excellent and she explained everything easily and thoroughly throughout the process, which was an extremely stressful time for myself. I cannot thank her enough. Also a mention to Annie Rose. Thank you so much ladies.

Great service from MSB, especially Molly and her team.

I’ve used MSB before and will do so again. They’re always personable and easy to speak to, nothing like the typical conveyancing firms that rely on email-only replies. Despite some issues with my buyer, Molly kept me informed throughout and remained professional and patient the whole way. Highly recommend.

BEWARE Do not use!

BEWARE - Do not deserve even 1 star!

MSB Are the solicitors that our commercial mortgage company are using but we are paying MSB’s bill.

Our experience of MSB so far:
Long story short:
Completion date has fallen through approx 5 times - it seems clear that it’s MSB’s fault.
Delay is so long we may lose our commercial mortgage or the commercial property we are buying or both - seems clear it is MSB’s fault.

From the outset MSB Left our case with a trainee and when we complained they still did not get one of their solicitors involved but instead an associate/legal executive.

Our solicitors are astonished at what is going on and so are we!

Despite numerous complaints up the chain we have been ignored!

We believe that we have been misled by them numerous times! They even tried to lie to us saying we had no right to complain as not the client yet we do have a legal right as the payee.

ȚO BE FRANK Our mortgage company should not have them as one of the solicitors to “choose from” as they clearly are not up to the job!

As pointed out to MSB and the mortgage company, this has caused us a lot of stress, time and financial losses and could jeopardise our current business which operates within the building that we are attempting to purchase: They appear not to care at all! Communication is very lacking!

UPDATE: you will see from their response below that they are in denial that WE CAN complain as we are the consumer as in we are paying their bills! THIS IS OUR LEGAL RIGHT!
And our solicitor has complained numerous times to no avail!!!

I have had great support from MSB twice.

I have now had conveyancing services from MSB twice, once in 2018, when I was a property buyer and again this year, 2025 into 2026, for the sale of a property.
They have been consistently excellent throughout, I would definitely use their services again and would recommend them to anyone buying or selling in the NW.
This year Gayle Hough and Helen Backstrom both did great work in making sure the sale went through as efficiently as possible, but the team member I had most contact with was Charlotte Bayliss and I cannot thank her enough! Charlotte has absolutely kept the sale on track and me informed and updated throughout.
Thank you MSB team.

Best decision made.

Transfered legal aid to MSB nearly 3 years into family court and so far best decision i made. Katie is attentive to emails and giving updates as and when needed, without delay. Also very attentive during court day via email incase of anything needed. Assistant was present at court for reassurance and the barister hired was hot on the case considering 3 years in. Very attentive during court. I wasnt forgotten about (as behind screen). Everything was checked with me and it wasnt taken out of my control what to say/do, just legal guidance but decision was mine. Cant complain. So far everything has been as expected by a solicitor firm. Comfort, guidance, reassurance and my say matters. Thank you so much

Katie Camozzi

I was recommended Katie Camozzi by someone who had used MSB Solicitors and similarly had a very good experience. Katie saw my children and I through the lowest point of an experience I thought I wouldn’t never have to go through. She was always professional, responsive and was there for me in a world that was completely foreign to me. I had full confidence in Katie despite my situation being unusual. Katie helped me to close that chapter and I would highly recommend her.

I cannot praise Katie Camouzzi enough

I cannot praise Katie Camouzzi enough. She helped me through an extremely difficult process over 9 months. She was knowledgeable, helpful and sensitive to everything I was going through. She helped me keep my daughter safe.

Communication is NONE EXISTENT

These solicitors are acting on behalf of our sellers and the lack of communication, updates, competency is appalling. I would not recommend anyone use these solicitors. There is no chain involved and we are first time buyers yet we are now going into month 6 of the process with our mortgage offer about to expire... STILL no updates or urgency from them. They've caused us so much stress and worry which is still ongoing. Completely taken the excitement out of us purchasing our first home. Neither our solicitors, the client (sellers) or the estate agents can ever get in touch with them. Never take calls always just an email when they can be bothered to respond.

*UPDATE - even after complaints, firm calls and emails there is no improvement. The sellers solicitor 'Gayle' even sends emails with no attachment which causes even more delays and for lack of attention to detail. Do. NOT. USE.

A great result….

I can’t thank Hayley Catherall and her team enough for their continued support and professionalism throughout my case. From the start, they have been attentive, knowledgeable and always take the time to respond to my emails and calls.
Hayley’s quick thinking got me the result I wanted. I would definitely recommend Hayley and her team.

No stars - I certainly wouldn't be recommending MSB 🤬

I first contacted MSB solicitors seeking for professional help against social services, who also lie and twist stories but to have to deal with unprofessional people who is a partnered solicitor, who also lies and twists information, is even more worrying and the boss will not investigate this and basically just told me to go away and that they will not deal with me and my complaint. SHOCKING!! How is it possible for highly paid people to act that way? Luckily for me I have the whole telephone conversation recorded with her and compared to her email she sent me was so down grading, that of course I trust no one, as professional people lie so much, so I shall take it to court now because MSB will not take any responsibility for their professional partners who blantely LIE!!! The partnered solicitors mannerism wasn't very nice and made me trust even less. I certainly wouldn't be recommending this kind of professional type of business. Left me feeling horrendously shocked!!
I mean what company rejects a complaint when I have the evidence?

I used this firm for a divorce and…

I used this firm for a divorce and family law matter and, in my experience, received a very poor service. Communication was slow, with emails and calls often going unanswered, and I regularly had to chase for updates.

I was made to feel uncomfortable regarding fees, despite being told costs were being kept down, and I paid a significant amount. It was also not clearly explained which parts of my divorce they would and would not be handling, which caused additional confusion and stress.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend using this firm.
