Churchers Solicitors Reviews 

Andrew Ryan gave me some very good advice on employment law and went above and beyond what i expected. He was very transparent and honest, getting back to me within a day of me opening communication between us. Would highly recommend.

Matthew is my property conyencer & has done other work for me, he's a excellent solicitor & very trustworthy, I recommend Matthew James for any work requiring speed keen eye for detail & speed offering excellent value aswell.

I have to say I would recommend this firm to anyone!
I had a case which was quite serious and treated really unfair but Churchers stuck with me and picked apart the prosecution and revealed the truth which I was shouting all along, I can’t thank the following employees enough: Alex Moore, Louise Jacks, Sarah Hallett and also Rachel who I can’t remember her last name(I do apologise) they also found me a top barrister who was absolutely brilliant.
I completely lost hope I was fighting against a system that was deceitful, unfair and biased but Alex made it her mission to make sure the outcome was a positive one - which it was the prosecution completely backed off and I was cleared. It never even made it to trial due to an abuse of process!
They never lied to me or mislead me everything was made so clear and I understood everything they did or said.
Thank you so much to everybody who worked with me throughout the past three years it was an extremely stressful time to say the least but you all made it bearable, thank you for believing in me when I needed it most! I can now start to rebuild my life and it’s all thanks to you.
I’m so grateful for this company and its genuine, human employees!

Made an appointment with Michael Flaherty to help me take out a private prosecution against a firm of solicitors that had stolen £90,000 from my client account and produced fraudulent documents to HMRC and SRA to the sum of £120,000+VAT. I was informed that a average private prosecution would cost me between 30-40 hours of time, by my estimates approximately £12,000 plus disbursements. After waiting 4 weeks for Michael Flaherty conclusion to what I believe to be extremely good evidence he informed me that it would now cost me about £50,000, approximately 165 hours of his time plus disbursements, if he had told me this in the first place I would have never had made an appointment. His advice was I need to take advice from a barrister. Michael Flaherty advice cost me £2,409.00, thank you for your words of wisdom Michael Flaherty.

I want to say thank you to Andrew at the fareham branch for his help, he was professional and understanding. Highly recommend Churchers. Thanks

We were having problems with our existing solicitor in Chichester and as our wills had previously been done with Churchers we decided to go with them again even though it meant driving over from Sussex.
Victoria Nash was extremely professional and helpful and being mindful of our journey said she had a few minutes to her next appointment, would we like her to sort everything there and then!
Wonderful service, and I must also mention Michael Flaherty who gave me advice some months before which proved very helpful. An excellent company and one we will use again without doubt.

Amy Hosell is a brilliant criminal defence solicitor! She is extremely switched on and did a fantastic job of defending me during trial when falsely accused of assault by a neighbour. Amy tore through the lies with her brilliant cross-examination and was a formidable force in the courtroom. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and she has shown that she is head and shoulders above the rest of the lawyers here in the Isle of Wight! Thank you Amy😊

This solicitors is amazing!
They have made my house purchase stress free and Matthew James has made my experience a personal one, making it feel like my case is the only one he is dealing with! Matthew has been super helpful and has gone above and beyond to assist me with advice, questions and support. The response rate in getting back to me has been so impressive. Thank you so much for everything :) Ill never forget this chapter and I will always recommend you to friends and family.

Absolutely fantastic telephone consultation with Matthew. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Churches solicitors are the best in my opinion

Our experience with Churchers in Fareham, specifically Alanna White, has been nothing short of exceptional.

We went to Alanna with so many questions around Powers of Attorney, will writing, elderly care, care home funding (the list could go on). Alanna reassured us in absolutely everything we were uncertain about. We'd been worried about so many aspects, but every question was resolved with kindness and respect.

Alanna really knows her stuff and builds real trust, often with subjects that feel difficult and emotive to resolve.

We are so thrilled to have discovered Alanna and her team and thank them unreservedly for everything they have done for our family.

We have dealt with Churchers for many years, both as Clients and Suppliers. They are a very professional and caring towards clients.
There service from a Clients point of view is brilliant kept informed in all aspects with everything explained fully regarding the transactions.
As suppliers we deal mainly with Sam and have to say she really is an asset to the firm. Thank you Sam for all your help.

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Matthew James at the Lee-on-Solent branch of Churchers

I have a passion for customer service and without a doubt this is the best interaction I’ve ever had with a solicitor. In this day and age I rarely get the chance to shout about excellent customer service, but I can assure you in this instance I will do so from the roof tops.

I understand it might not be for everyone, but one/minimal word answers which are straight to the point with no waffle are perfect for me.
Coupled with almost immediate replies each time, it really is a fantastic service.

I recently contacted Churchers solicitors in Portsmouth, as I was required to seek financial advice prior to signing a work related document.
I was put in touch with Andrew Bryan, who carried-out a review & subsequent explanation of each aspect of the document.
I would like to pass on my thanks to Andrew for the very detailed, yet clearly understandable way in which this was done. There was also additional advice given, which I found to be very helpful.
As a result of the work undertaken on my behalf, I would highly recommend Andrew Bryan at Churchers.

I recently used Churchers to deal with probate and the sale of my late mother's property...Alanna was so professional and absolutely excellent from start to finish. She really guided me every step of the way...Rachel dealt with the Conveyancing and was also very professional..I would not hesitate to use Churchers again..

I am very pleased with the outcome I got in family court and that is a big thanks to Louise Jack, she is very professional and very supportive, she explains everything and is a good listener she has been a big help with all four of my children and getting me the support I needed put in place.. I would highly recommend Louise Jack

I wrote a review in October 2021 with regard to a minor employment law case 'withholding wages' by a previous employer.
I am very pleased to say that today I received an agreed settlement. This was only made possible by Mr. Andrew Bryan, who have me excellent advice on procedures that I should follow to take my case forward.
This case was not about the monetary value, but showed, that employers, ultimately have a responsibility to their employees and that they should fulfil their legal, but above all their moral obligations.
Once again, I would like to convey my gratitude and thanks to the Churchers team for their advice and help in this matter.
My very best wishes and Happy New Year.

Many heartfelt thanks to Jessica Measham at the Cosham office for her caring and professional support to myself and my sister after the death of our Mother, who passed away in August. Jessica was always there for us handling everything question we asked of her in a very kind and caring way. I know she certainly smoothed the way for us, especially as my sister is in Warwickshire so was unable to make any meetings in person, Thank you Jessica & your team for your reassuring help, support and care.
Would certainly recommend Jessica & Churchers to others.
Best Regards, Nick Jenneson & Carol Stripe

Alanna White at your Fareham office, was highly recommended to me by a family member.
She has certainly surpassed all expectations with me.I think Alanna is an absolute credit to your company, and will not only use her again, I will be recommending her to others.
I would like to offer my gratitude for her kindness and professionalism guiding me through the process.

Guidelines for Reviewers
I would highly recommend Jo Gilholm who dealt with my separation issues. Although I was rather tearful at the first meeting, Jo explained what was needed and the timeframe in which it would be done. Jo managed to sort my situation out in very quick time and liaised with the conveyancing department to expedite the solution. Throughout she advised me of the best course of action. Thank you Jo.
