Brethertons LLP Solicitors Reviews 

Really needed some financial advice following a divorce and went to Brethertons as I already knew they were the best in town. Spoke to Dominic, one of the Partners, and within half an hour he had put any concerns of mine to rest as well as spotting a potential issue which I could then address. Bear in mind they offer the first thirty minutes initial consultation free of charge so don't be afraid of calling them as they are more than happy to provide their experience within that timeframe without any pressure. I know now that if any further issues arise I will know who exactly to speak too, and although it would be at cost I would be confident I was receiving the best advice without bias and/or judgement. Thanks!

If you like doing it yourself go ahead and use their fix price service. No responses, emails ignored, error on consent order which could have cost over £50k if I hadn’t spotted it. Seemed like you fill in the paperwork and then they don’t bother checking it very well. Once your divorce comes through forget about your pension share order as they don’t want to know! Oh and apparently everytime you email the lady is out of office/on annual leave and I do mean every time.

Fantastic Solicitors and can highly recommend.
From the start to the finish of my divorce proceedings, I was informed about everything including expenses, the process and my choices every step of the way.
If I had any questions, they always responded quickly, putting my mind at ease. Very efficient.

I would highly recommend to use services of Brethertons Solicitors

My sisters and I engaged Brethertons to set up a life interest trust and transfer half the ownership of our parents’ house to the trust, following the death or our father.

The staff with whom we dealt were all very friendly and helpful.

However, at the start of the process, we and our mother each had to prove our identity. This was not a very straightforward exercise, even more so for my mother who doesn’t use a computer. And even after we had gone to the trouble of providing our details, we found that Brethertons had still not managed to add this information correctly to documents. This didn’t give me much confidence that they would then be able to carry out the rest of the matters correctly. Given the hourly rates of the staff concerned, I expected a relatively simple task like copying client details to be done without error.

The engagement pack that we were sent at the start of the conveyancing appeared to be tailored to a more usual property sale or purchase than our situation, which meant that a lot of it was not applicable. More significantly, the section entitled “Our Understanding Of Your Instructions” didn’t actually include any detail of what Brethertons would do, until we pointed this out.

When it came to signing documents, there were some problems with electronic signing of PDFs, for example links to out-of-date PDFs being sent.

According to the engagement pack, "Brethertons is a new breed of legal service providers” and “information will be in plain English”. However, our experience was that their letters and documents are coded in a language that is distinctly Dickensian in its verbosity and opacity.

So, overall, although I think Brethertons has some nice, well-meaning staff, it has a very long way to go to prove that it’s really a new breed.

We worked with Laura and then Amber Morris to handle my Father's Estate and I highly recommend them. It was a little complicated as we wanted to do a variance on the will to allow my niece to keep dad's house in the family while ensuring the other grandchildren were all treated equally. Very happy with the service. We have also used Brethertons for several property purchases and sales. Good firm, very respectable and the offices look professional.

I highly recommend Brethertons LLP Solicitors. Brethertons LLP Solicitors and the rest of the team eased my worries about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) get into any other trouble, Brethertons LLP Solicitors is the one I will call on.

I recently rang Brethertons for a quote for a will, which would be uncontested and with no property involved. I was quoted a whopping £550 plus VAT! Are you serious?!

UPDATE: Since writing this review, Brethertons are now gaslighting me and trying to have Trustpilot take it down.

I engaged the services of Dominic Wisdom. During our collaboration, there were some challenges regarding the clarity of costs. Initially, I paid £500 as an advance payment, with the understanding, based on Dominic’s assurances, that I would be notified before reaching this amount.

Unexpectedly, I received an additional invoice for £1,787.00. This was without any prior indication that the initial budget of £500, which I had set for the specific consultation, was being exceeded.

Always a professional, thorough and efficient team at Brethertons, and lovely people to work with too.
Emma Morris is excellent.

I can't thank Annabel Burchett , Nimita Rana and team enough for the excellent advice, guidance, professionalism and friendliness in dealing with family trusts and my late mother's complex estate. They managed to make what is an emotional process as stress free as possible. The process was made easier by the clarity of the wills, trusts and powers of attorney drawn up by Brethertons over 20 years ago. I'd also like to thank Lottie Dunkley and Julia McVeigh for their excellence in the legal work associated with selling a house that had been in the family since it was built in the early 1950s. Great communicators one and all.

Brethertons has agreed with a case assessment from the Legal Ombudsman from November 2025 that they made a currency error and did not rectify the error and were unreasonable.
I am grateful for this accountability from the Legal Ombudsman but it does not make any difference whatsoever. Brethertons has not rectified their error or acted reasonably. I can sue Brethertons if I want to try and for compensation that is my only option with them.

Personal and friendly, with a clear explanation

Regarding Brethertons Rugby Branch

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with this company's customer service. The representative I spoke to was absolutely rude and disrespectful. Despite my attempts to address outstanding questions during a brief 4-minute call, the representative abruptly hung up on me, completely disregarding my need for assistance.

The reason for my call was to discuss a letter I had received regarding a late payment to my management company. I made multiple attempts to dispute this matter by providing evidence through emails and calls. Unfortunately, the company has been entirely unresponsive through email. They have not replied to any of my emails, and on the few occasions I managed to get through on the phone, they hung up without allowing me to finish the conversation.

This level of customer service is completely unacceptable. Dealing with financial matters requires a level of professionalism and respect that was sorely lacking in my interaction with this company. I sincerely hope they take this feedback seriously and work towards improving their customer service standards.

Further comment from me towards their reply on 27th Nov.:
1.I am not their client which is correct. My property management company instructed them to send me legal letter and appoint them as the only contact window to deal with the case. So no excuse for I am not your client.

2 Although you are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, you don't have the basic courtesy to reply people's questions.

The replies from them is unfortunately more sad to see. Instead of looking into the case and find out the person who is rude to me then apologize, you are replying in ignorance of the situation. I am so sad to see a big company operating like this.

Kalpana at the Rugby branch was incredible helpful in assisting our house sale. Communication was prompt, polite and helpful. Price was very reasonable too. Will definitely return for any other legal matters in the future

From start to finish, the whole experience was brilliant. Dominic Wisdom who managed my preparation for a trial for financial settlement. He made every effort to supply me with information to support my decisions. Thanks to him I now have all the advice and information I need. I highly recommend this firm for your needs whatever the circumstances. He went the extra mile and nothing was too much.

The solicitor assigned to manage my uncles estate was very helpful and answered all my questions, extremely satisfied.
