Lawyer UP Avis 25

Horrible customer service.
They take your money and are very responsive in that period but then drag the work out when you've paid. Changed names in the middle of when they were meant to support me and ask for more money to provide assistance.

Do not use these people. They are scammers and have changed company name multiple times to avoid negative complaints. They also have no clue about UK Family law. All appear to be based in South Africa. They didn’t adhere to anything contracted and are not willing to give any fees back. They take block payments then run down the allotted time, forcing you to make another large block payment. Avoid at all costs. Previously named Perduco law Ltd

I have been blocked at the beginning of this year,no contact and my case is still ongoing.I have lost thousands of pounds and I dont know what to do.
I was dealing with Samantha Perkins and I cant contact her at all.
I have reported the company

Absolutely shocking, not heard from this company since the 18th of december, have emailed and called multiple times and no prevail.

After doing research i have later discovered that this firm has been taken down and intervened on the 24th december and can no longer represent anyone.

Lost out on thousands of pounds and now have to contact the company who intervened to track the money.

Avoid it at all cost just hassle after hassle

I would be very happy to recommend Courtnay Chamberlain of LawyerUp. Her knowledge, professionalism and patience with my current divorce case has been amazing through these difficult times.

Courtnay has always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I have had. She has constantly provided the required support and documentation I’ve needed to keep me sane and confident in my decision to use LawyerUp.

I’m extremely grateful to have Courtnay Chamberlain on my side through these final steps and look forward to getting it all completed.

I finally feel in control and I’m confident all will go well with LawyerUp by my side.

Regards
Spencer

Thank you to Courtnay Chamberlain, a brilliant professional solicitor who will handle everything so you don’t have to worry during what is probably a stressful time. She made it much easier and was really helpful, thanks again to Courtnay!

I would like to commend the outstanding support I received from Courtnay Chamberlain. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to resolving my case.
Although, there was a period of long delays, she was able to reassure me and provide practical solutions that fully addressed my concerns and my case was back on track.

I am truly grateful for their support and would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.

Ongoing divorce proceedings. I'll recommend Luyanda Mbatha to anyone looking for a lawyer to represent in divorce. She's knowledgeable and absolutely worth her Salt. Very empathetic, a good listener who will talk you through the process and always ready to answer any legal jargons putting your mind at rest. She replies to email timely and always abreast to time. I'm one happy client with a good advocate. Big thumbs up👍 Lawyer Up

I got two family matter in court . Courtney Chamberlain at lawyer up representing my cass . Courtney has been absolutely 💯 brilliant . We found she is very friendly and communication is amazing . How she got back to us very helpful , understanding and explain every detail made us feel comfortable to express very good. We can't thanks enough. Lawyer up prices and flexibility payment made us very comfortable.
Thnk you.

I would encourage anyone considering this firm to do some background research before engaging them.

A few things are publicly available that I think will be helpful:

Companies House shows that this business and another legal services company share the same director, and both have had various corporate changes over the last couple of years.

There are Employment Tribunal judgments online involving one of the linked companies, which anyone can read directly on gov.uk.

Both company names also appear in public SRA decision records and investigation updates, which are easy to search on the SRA website.

The firm’s Terms & Conditions link on the website was not working when I visited, which made it difficult to understand the basis on which services are offered.

I’m sharing this because it may be useful for others to review all available information before making a decision.

No personal allegations - just encouraging people to check the publicly available records themselves.

In Response to 'lawyer up team' - After my experience with yourselves, I feel compelled to point people in the right direction of publicly available information and the background of your business and your directors. As an example, your publicly available website states lawyer up has been established since 2019. However, companies house states lawyer up was incorporated 17th October 2023. It is worth noting however, that another business on companies house (Companies House number 11908545) is linked to both lawyer up through the directors of the business, That was incorporated on 27 March 2019. I would encourage people to research publicly available information on that business and their record. Again, no accusations from myself. Just encouraging people to do further due diligence. That is the very essence of what Trustpilot is about.

Unless you would like explain to us all to see?

FYI my name is not Michaela.

Currently in proceedings for financial remedy and after an initial not so great process with a different solicitor, Courtnay Chamberlain took over my case & she has been absolutely brilliant. She's professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. More importantly, she listens and has been very supportive. Courtnay's communication speed has been absolutely fantastic as she is very prompt in reponses which is really appreciated. I am very pleased with my ongoing dealings with Courtnay and because of her, I highly recommend LawyerUp.

I would like to say thank you to Paige Riddin who has Guided me smoothly through this difficult time of my divorce, dealt with the financial settlement. She advised me step my step through the process and responding promptly to my emails.

Excellent service and advice, particularly around divorce law. Good explanation of the divorce process and fair price.

The team managed the financial settlement well. They kept me focused and were there to answer my questions. Hopefully I'll never have to go through this process again but if I do I'll know where to come.

I would highly recommend Lawyer UP to help with divorce. I have a complicated divorce with various factors influencing my divorce complications. I had a solicitor prior to Lawyer up and i was left in a difficult situation by that solicitor. I was in a significant amount of debt caused by the divorce. My first contact with Lawyer Up was with Samantha Perkins. Samantha has kept me informed and updated, she has never faltered in the support and information she has given me. Samantha has gone above and beyond what I expected from a divorce solicitor. She has been as driven in our latest communications as our first communication which were over a year ago. She has never faltered or swayed in her positivity and has always supported me throughout my divorce. I cannot express my thanks Enough for the help I have had from Samantha. Lawyer UP also allowed me to pay my legal fees on a monthly basis which greatly helped me. I am greatly indebted to Lawyer UP and especially Samantha Perkins for the help and assistance that I have been given.

When you are under a lot of stress and you need legal help you do not want to be sent a invoice every month for every single email that has been sent as that just adds more stress to a already stressful situation.
Lawyer UP listen to you and act for you under one fixed price yes there could be a few additional costs but they are there to guide you through all situations.
They listen and they act on your behalf and are always there if you need to pick up a phone and talk to them. Lawyer UP has made a very stressful situation for me more manageable as they take that pressure of you. I would highly recommend
Lawyer UP. Five Stars all round.

Luyanda Mbatha was wonderful and offered great advice.

Lawyr up have been assisting me with divorce proceeds and sensitive child arrangements . Their fixed fee is fair and affordable and they offer interest free payment plans which helps with spreading the cost. Special mention to Samantha Perkins who has been fantastic in helping push my difficult divorce along constantly chasing the other side and being proactive instead of reactive. Usually solicitor firms in my prior experience you have to chase constantly where as Lawyr up are not like that, you get prompt responses and they always offer to have a call over the phone to provide any understanding, support and reassurance. The only thing that could be improved is responses from the accounts team are extremely slow when you have a query about your payments/account. Other than that I’d recommend using Lawyr up!
