Overview
The reviews for Harland & Co Solicitors are mixed, with some reviewers praising the firm's service, professionalism, and prices, while others have had negative experiences with customer service and response times.
Professionalism and Service
Many reviewers have praised the firm's workforce, citing them as knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. June Hilton and Jacqueline Bate, for example, highlight the solicitors' ability to provide excellent general advice, while Lesley-Ann Barclay notes that the firm has been used by her family for over 60 years. Roanne Sikking specifically praises the staff's ability to possess qualities such as being reasoned, informed, experienced, and principled.
Customer Service
However, not all reviewers have had positive experiences with customer service. Leanne Morley is still awaiting a call back regarding a name change, and Trevor Moore expresses frustration with the firm's lack of customer service orientation. Sarah Porteous had a particularly negative experience, describing a rude man who answered the phone.
Pricing
Some reviewers have also mentioned pricing, with Lesley-Ann Barclay noting that the firm offers reasonable prices. Ian Dearlove, on the other hand, suggests that the firm is not the cheapest but is not the most expensive either.
