SO Legal Limited Anmeldelser 

We had an excellent experience with SOLegal, particularly with Jenny, who was outstanding throughout our matter. She was consistently professional, supportive, and incredibly responsive, dealing with any issues quickly and clearly.

Jenny was a pleasure to work with and always kind, helpful, and reassuring. Her professionalism and attention to detail really stood out, and we felt well supported at every stage of the process.

We have been extremely impressed with both Jenny’s service and SOLegal in general, and we will absolutely be using SOLegal again in the future. Highly recommended.

Luke and Alexia very very helpful in the sale of our flat in Brighton. Very efficient service and costs were as stated in their original quotation. Highly recomnend this firm.

We used SoLegal when purchasing our first home. Everyone was so helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Any questions/queries were answered swiftly and all steps were communicated with us.
Would highly recommended!

Everyone at this company was friendly, helpful and, frankly, a delight to deal with. They handled the sale of my property (in Brighton) efficiently and, were it not for a delay caused by the building's management company, the process would have been completed very quickly and easily. An added bonus is that their fees are extremely competitive. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in using them again. An easy 5 star review from me!

I received excellent service from our solicitor, Dylan Leet, and his team at SO Legal. Dylan helped us to successfully register our company trademark in several countries. Throughout, the team provided clear, timely communications and practical advice. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service from So Legal. Our solicitor, Alphonsa Shibu, was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process.

From starting in early October to receiving our house keys on 19 December, the entire process took around 2.5 months, which was incredibly fast. Because of her hard work and efficiency, we were able to receive our keys just before Christmas and celebrate our first Christmas in our first new home, a truly lovely and unforgettable feeling.

Alphonsa was extremely professional, helpful, and responsive. She replied to emails very quickly, often the same day, and was always available to answer telephone calls. Her communication and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

We highly recommend So Legal and especially Alphonsa Shibu for anyone looking for an excellent solicitor.

Really good service, our solicitor was very communicative throughout the transaction and was really lovely to work with.

Katie guided us through an arduous selling process. At no point did I ever lose confidence or start to worry. Katie was so professional, expert and confidence inspiring! Many thanks, Katie!

Excellent Service – Smooth 28-Day Auction Purchase

I’ve just completed an auction property purchase with SO Legal, and the whole process was extremely smooth and efficient. Completing within the strict 28-day timeframe was made easy thanks to their professionalism.

A huge thank you to Dylan and Dalton, who guided me through every step right up to completion. The purchase was done using a bridging lender (Together), and everything was handled expertly.

Completed successfully today, 08 December 2025. I will definitely be using SO Legal again for my future property purchases and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient legal team.

My experience end to end was brilliant. Joe and Parisa were excellent, 5* service and were supportive throughout the whole way, which as a first time buyer is exactly what you’d hope for.
Cannot fault their services- would recommend to everyone!

So Legal were the most responsive solicitors I have dealt with in the UK. Both Katie and Maddison were very helpful and always returned an email within 12 hours. Even if it was frustrating news as the buying/selling process in the UK is very arduous. I'd like to thank them as I've been trying to close the deal for quite some time. They have been nothing but courteous, diligent and persevering.

I was confused when I put out a query on the Leasehold Advisory Service website, knowing I had less than 3 months to 80 years remaining on the lease for my flat.
Jennifer Slater from SO Legal called me and very kindly explained the whole process to me. I immediately knew I needn’t respond to any other email follow ups from other firms of solicitors on my query.
Jennifer and her team made the whole process seamless and kept me informed every step along the way.
With their hard work and professionalism, my lease extension completed in less than 3 months!
I am a very satisfied client who will not hesitate to recommend your services.

Thank you so much Jennifer Slater and So Legal.

my contact with SO Legal Limited is Ms. Judie Halimah . She is very excellent and helpful and made my selling property very smoothly . Because of her help if I want in future to buy a property I will deal with her.

Katie Bacchus at SO Legal worked on the sale of my property. Everything went smoothly, everyone I dealt with at SO Legal was helpful, and completion was on time. Over all it was a great experience.

I instructed this firm to assist with a legal matter they claimed to have expertise in, but from the outset, it became clear that this wasn’t the case. I had to explain basic aspects of the situation repeatedly, and at one point the solicitor even admitted to not having read key documents I had provided. This immediately undermined my confidence in their ability to handle the case competently.

Rather than drafting a clear and accurate letter before claim — a fundamental step — they instead focused on preparing an unhelpful “pre-counsel” letter. I had to request extensive edits due to the solicitor’s apparent lack of understanding of the case, and I was billed for the time spent on those edits. Eventually, the solicitor told me to simply edit the letter myself, which I found completely unprofessional and unacceptable, given I was paying for legal expertise.

A barrister was brought in but added no real value to the matter — their input didn’t extend beyond what I already knew from my own research and dealings. I was then advised to seek a second barrister in a completely different area of law, which would have added an estimated £3,000–£8,000 in further costs. In my opinion, this was a step that a solicitor with actual expertise could and could have handled themselves. It felt like an unnecessary escalation that increased costs rather than advancing the matter.

Following one meeting, the solicitor told me that they “didn’t like wasting clients’ money” — which I found particularly insulting, as that meeting alone had cost me £3,000 and had achieved nothing of substance.

To make matters worse, I received conflicting information about whether the firm even worked in the relevant area of law they looked to pursue with a new barrister. Initially, I was told they did not. Later, the supervising solicitor claimed they did. This inconsistency, coupled with the poor handling of my case, left me feeling misled and confused.

I submitted a formal complaint to the supervising solicitor, but it achieved nothing. My concerns were met with vague responses that didn’t address the core issues. It felt like there was no accountability or genuine interest in resolving the matter.

In my view, this firm should never have accepted my case without having the appropriate expertise. After nearly four months and close to £7,000 in fees, I was left with no meaningful progress. I ultimately felt forced to de-instruct them due to a complete lack of confidence in their conduct and to avoid any further risk and potential negligence.

I will be escalating the matter to the Legal Ombudsman for independent review.

Based on this experience, I cannot in good faith recommend this firm to others. I strongly advise anyone considering their services to thoroughly check whether the solicitor assigned to their case genuinely has experience in the relevant area of law — and to proceed with caution.

Jenny Girgawi handled both our sale & purchase superbly with the utmost professionalism & always responded quickly, clearly, expertly and helpfully to our endless enquiries making the whole process much easier & less stressful. We are very grateful

I would highly recommend Dominic Mercer and his team Anzhela and all at SoLegal.
They help to make the whole process clear and stress free, respond quickly to any questions and complete the process in a very professional and timely manner. Thank you again much appreciated

I cannot recommend Dylan and his team enough. They were prompt, easily accessible and made the whole process of conveyancing a smooth process.

Good communication, efficient service. I had a very positive experience selling my flat earlier this year with the help of Nicole and the team at the Uckfield office. They communicated effectively and were able to help guide me through the frustrating process of selling a home for the first time.
