Clarke Willmott LLP Reviews 

Excellent and responsive service. Very happy to recommend the Wills/Probate/Tax dept.

Excellent advice on our Wills and LPA matters. Very clear and also very efficient. Simon

MAKING AN LPA AND WILL SEEMED LIKE A DAUNTING EXPERIENCE, BUT CLARKE WILLMOTT LLP GUIDED ME THROUGHT IT WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND FRIENDLINESS AND WE DID IT!!

So unfortunate I can’t give them a -10 star.

We started our medical negligence case with them in 2021 with a fantastic solicitor who ended up leaving in 2022 end of 2022. I asked to be transferred with her and they basically held me hostage. Chris took over my case and was actually decent. 4 months later he drops the bomb and says he is retiring after reassuring me that if I stayed he would take over and he is my previous solicitors senior and he had advised her to take on our case.

Nevertheless Vanessa took over and was vile. She never updated us. Her responses were 1 sentences and patronising. After Gemma our original solicitor had worked so hard our case, Vanessa couldn’t care less to be honest. Anyways we had a conference after 2 months of Chris retiring with barrister and all the experts Gemma my fantastic solicitor worked with. Who clearly stated that the hospital were at fault. Vanessa gives me a call on a random day to say sorry case is closed not enough merits. That’s it!

Anyways luckily I knew where Gemma worked and contacted her to review the case. Herself and the barrister in 2026 settled for a life changing figure.

Clarke and Willmot are now chasing my solicitors for a “success fee” even though their fees were paid. They have threatened to go after my disabled dad for the money. All they want is money! Please avoid them!!!!!! They do not care about anyone!

I am grateful for very professional and timely advice

Ed and Chloe were very on hand to help me with my Business Purchase. They had experience in this area and dealt with it seamlessly. They were easy to contact and kept me updated.

Philip Whitcomb has excellent knowledge of agricultural issues including inheritance tax planning.
Documentation is slow to follow meetings.

Great experience using them to sell my Late fathers house perfectly managed by Leanne start to finish

We were delighted with the professional manner of the representative and impressed by the amount of time and patience spent on fulfilling our requirements.

sent us threatening letter , which also states do not contact us. make it make sense. we are in the process of a formal complaint and their client has taken retaliatory action against us by getting these clowns to send threatening letter. I will seek legal advice against them and their client as their threats have no basis in reality.

I, and my father before me, have dealt with this firm for more than 40 years and have always had kind, professional and efficient service in dealing with complex family trusts and my sister’s intestacy.

I have nothing but praise for the professional way in which CW staff have helped over the years with any legal matter I’ve had to deal with.

UNPROFFESSIONAL Disgraceful, skip to another company.
I contacted these solicitors early November 2025, my claim had a time limitations, it took them until we'll into January 2026 to decline my business? I contacted the ceo and also complaints, no apology, no explanation, in fact nothing. TOTALLY UNPROFFESSIONAL.

2018 to 2020 Clinical negligence team. Living with the consequences now. Never met. So never understood the negligence. Missed information which showed a lack of effort and due diligence. Talk unscientific offensive nonsense about my dead mum. I would have ripped the contract then. Had to waste an appointment with a brain injury personal assistant on phone to tell the associate to never write nonsense about my family. They refused to engage with me. I knew then they lost. Show their true colours. Horrible firm writing an opinion about someone that is dead or never met. Wouldn’t bother. Everyday crassness on neurological disorders. Went on another year to get like their fourth choice as these witnesses kept dropping out. Irrational. Illogical. Like do you get your fourth choice when you go Waitrose? They had no understanding whatsoever. This firm clinical negligence is terrible. There was no point signing the contract. Behave cocksure like “I am here to make your life easier”. Well that only matters if you do anything successfully. Even when the witness came back they quoted the doctor I saw. Conflict of interests. The hospital I went is UK specialist for the medical condition I was treated. I would have told them if they bothered to listen to me. Waste of time reading. This firm clinical negligence doesn’t understand its clients or represent them effectively or properly. In their best interests. How they couldn’t do anything shows ineptitude and incompetence. How someone with a brain injury win two tribunals, and get a social care reward from the local authorities shows there was a way to win. Like I’ve no law knowledge. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Wouldn’t delete my records. Horrible firm. They got their secretary to send the final email. It was just cowardice. Literally don’t listen to instructions. I strongly recommend not collaborating with this firm’s clinical negligence team. This firm clinical negligence needs to stay away from autoimmune and neurological conditions. End of. The wrong treatment isn’t the acceptable treatment or the right treatment. 2018 to 2020. I hope they have improved and never get involved in something they can’t represent efficiently, due diligence or successfully. I still live with the consequences now November 2025

I contacted Clarke Willmott regarding a potential judicial review against the Ombudsman Service. The response was polite but somewhat unclear, even after I sought clarification. Additionally, I was surprised to see another institution mentioned, as I had not raised them as a concern. While I appreciate the time taken to consider my enquiry, the communication could have been more transparent.

Helpful, friendly, efficient, prompt responses, pro-active.
Stephanie Slinn has investigated whether worth my while to undertake a legal process and spent some considerable time foc before giving estimate.
Couldn't have been better.

I had 1 meeting with a solicitor at the Birmingham office and was only sent the terms and conditions after the meeting. I was charged over £3200 for that 1 meeting and a letter which just repeated what I said in the meeting. I have complained and will not be using the firm and cannot recommend them.

They keep asking for information again, they do not explain how old documents can be and they must be the only people not using Council Tax records that are more than 3 months old. We are no nearer finalising anything with this Company. Prevarication is the word that comes to mind, delay at all cost, well at Customers cost. Let us stretch this out a much as we can, each month is another bill and deduction to me made,

? Eyes are on.

Slow service from their compliance department, lack of pragmatism and insistence on sending confidential information by email.
