Excellent company

We used checkmylegalfees to reclaim overcharged fees on the fees charged to probate a relatives will . Mark was excellent and despite becoming more complicated due the original solicitors going into receivership, I was always kept updated and assured we would get a result , and after many months I am pleased to say we now have over £3500 in overcharged fees returned.

Mark and Jerry were a pleasure to deal with and were knowledgable and reassuring. They held Steel Raymond Solicitors to account for overcharging our firm. Would highly recommend them to others.

Perfect company to defend your interests

Mark Carlisle and his assistants have done a great job for me. It is very rare nowadays to find a decent law firm that is honest and reasonable. Checkmylegalfees has a good knowledge in the field, they handled my case in the best possible way that brought me to a good result. I would highly recommend them!

I can never seem to get a response…

I can never seem to get a response anymore from these guys. I've emailed Craig, Ben, and Mark and have had barely any communication from them. I've had a "claim" open since January 2021, they supposedly had a response from the company I'm supposed to be claiming against, so I sent them reference numbers, dates etc and then silence.

I sent a few emails and got a response in July 2022 and told to wait for the Belsner case, which had already been and gone by December 2021 if I remember correctly. I emailed again, nothing. Emailed and got a response saying my case has been put with a group of others and are being dealt with at the same time. I've emailed countless times, and its been silent ever since the last response in 2023.

The most recent email I've sent was Thursday 6th February 2025 and exactly 4pm to Mark Carlisle and guess what...no response. All I've asked for is an update on my case but I've been left in the dark!! Not happy at all.

I can’t fault Mark Carlisle and Heidi Molloy for all the hard work they had done on my case. Unfortunately personal injury solicitors massively overcharged me for work done on the case. From initially speaking to Mark he put my mind at ease and immediately started working on the case - in totally saving my 2/3rdsof the bill. These could have been a lot more but I wanted to settle without long delay.

Highly recommended trustworthy professional who is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Thank you so so much

20 minutes of free advice…

Marc gave me 20 minutes of free advice which is unbelievable considering I have had such bad experiences with lawyers offering free initial advice which only turns out to be sales fodder leading to no assistance at all. I am very impressed and will be using them to take the issue further if necessary!!

Top People

Top People. Unfortunately Personal Injury Solicitors are not very truthful and will overcharge and make up fees. Did a great job for me and as I was left disables the few thousand pounds they got me back really comes in handy.

Couldn't recommend highly enough.

excellent detailed written response to my case

With no prior knowledge of this company, I contacted them to see if I had a case for my situation. I relayed the information requested.
I received a detailed written / email response from Mark advising me that there was insufficient evidence in the papers I had sent to raise a claim
Friendly, helpful and detailed.
Definitely recommend this company.
Thank you Mark

Thank you for your review Christian. It means the world to us and we are really glad we could help! We should stress though, Mark is not a solicitor. He is a recognised specialist in legal fees who has been practising for more than 35 years, but he is not a qualified solicitor.

I spoke to Ben who was initially very polite and diplomatic. I have described exactly the issue that I had with my legal fees. He promised to have a look and let me know what can be done or not. He asked me to email him all the documents. After he has received all my documents, then I haven’t heard a thing from him. I kept calling and emailing him and after over 4 weeks he emailed me back saying that he has no time for me. I

Hi Giselle. Sorry to hear that you are disappointed, and I hope you can see from our other reviews that this is not typical of our service. We cannot locate you on our system though and we have very few cases that are more than six years old. Could you please email in with your case reference and we will get back to you straight away.

Absolutely brilliant company!

They are an absolutely brilliant company! Ben Winter gave me some fantastic advice about a very unusual, tricky situation. He came back to me promptly, was sympathetic, understanding and knowledgable, and offered to check in on my progress regularly. I couldn't be more grateful for his help and expertise, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both him and checkmylegalfees.com

Claiming back my legal fees

Having received a payout for an accident at work in 2019 I approached Check My Legal Fees to see if I could claim some of the fees back. I was contacted by Ben Winter who subsequently took on my case. After numerous derisory offers from company I had originally claimed through Ben's dogged determination was able to get me just shy of £800 back in legal fees I had had deducted from my original claim. A thoroughly proficient and professional service throughout.
