Coodes Solicitors Avis 

Unbelievably slow, full of excuses, appear more interested in billing than actually progressing work

Stay away try someone better, they are completely useless

I am very pleased with Coodes Solicitors.
They have been dealing with few cases of mine for the past 3 years, and currently still do. I will definitely continue to deal with them in the future when needed.

Chris Andrews, sensible, pragmatic and thoughtful in his client and court approach. Delivered very good advice and the best outcome. Can be trusted.

I instructed this firm to act on my behalf in a Child Custody Case.

I used their Penzance offices and was assigned Julian Tyson. From the very start, emails went ‘missing’, tasks were not completed, deadlines missed and then things started to unravel fully.

It turned out that Mr Tyson hadn’t contacted my witnesses like he said he had (no idea who he thought he’d get away with his lies/deceit). It wasn’t just this. There were numerous other things he had failed to do/did incorrectly (such as write a statement which bore no resemblance to the facts in hand).I challenged Tyson via email with a forensic chronological breakdown of all the alleged deceit/negligence. Naturally he didn’t reply and sought to hide in the shadows.

I have since spoken with other people who suffered very similar experiences to mine. Their reviews can be found online.

Fortunately I discovered the issues just in time and swapped to Walters & Barbary who were brilliant.

Please, please avoid like COVID-19. It’ll be better to represent yourself.

My daughter has recently asked Coodes to do some fairly straightforward transfer of equity work. In simple terms, 18 months in and 4 solicitors later, there is still no progress. Emails aren’t responded to, promises made and broken and she’s now significantly out of pocket due to their incompetence. It pains me to say this, as I try to support local businesses, but please stay well clear of this company.

Coodes have been acting for the executor of my late fathers estate and we are at the 5th anniversary of his death and they are still delaying and stalling.

What had made me want to write this review is there Radio advert telling people how much experience they have in multiple fields and that you don’t need to worry because they can help.

Well our experience they have to be chased for every bit of information and they continually tell us everything’s to complex for them and they have to hire one professional after another all adding to the fees.

So in my opinion there advertising is false and I think people should know that.

Edit: 2 Years later: Still ongoing 7 Years now. Their fees continue to mount.

I wanted to support a cornish conveyancer as I am moving there. I was surprised at the difference between their online quote for buying and selling at £2807, but on calling them, that increased to £4,784. I called them to find out if I had somehow misunderstood their quote, and was informed not. That is one issue. But the real reason I am writting this review is that the lady I spoke to literally hung on up me - I had not been rude, although I had said that that nearly five grand was over my budget, and I was just saying that they must clearly stand up to their award winning reputation - however, Hannah never heard that.
