McCormicks Solicitors - Harrogate

I would like to thank everyone at McCormicks solicitor especially Shah Suhail Ahmed. Shah went above and beyond to see to my case being dealt with in a professional manner. He was very attentive to my case. I was under a lot of stress, he assured me of my worries and dealt with the case in the best way possible with the best outcome. I can’t thank shah’s enough for his time and effort. It couldn’t have been easy but was made to look easy. I would highly recommend Shah as he is very good at what he does. Thank you Mr Shah.

My family and I encountered a sudden egregious sitiation that left us in urgent need for legal assistance. I frantically made calls to any and many firms but the help I needed was immediate and everyone I spoke to had little to no time to even hear me out. Assanine advice and unempathetic apologies became mentally insurmountable, as I was running out of ideas and hope, it is at this point i spoke to Mr Suhail Shah a Lawyer at McCormicks Solicitors, he immediately put mine and my families mind at ease with his kind understanding demeanour. He was the first person who took the decency to listen to our problems with an actual interest to help us. He spoke in plain simple english without using any legal jargon which helped us as we were not well versed in any legal matters at the time. Mr Shah guided us every step of the way providing ample information surrounding our issue, explaining everything as we went along in detail. He kept us well informed and was always easy to get hold of, this is an experience I have not had with Law firms/lawyer's very often. The advice and guidance over a number of weeks prevented us from taking matters to court and we managed to overcome our legal problems with Mr Shahs help.

Thank you so much for all your help and support Mr Shah forever grateful.

Being a small business owner, owed a significant amount of money can be crippling and stressful. I've unfortunately had to deal with a number of solicitors for such matters.
My dealings with McCormicks, specifically David Birks, could not have been a more positive experience. His frankness, professionalism and determination to get the correct outcome totally dissolved the frustration I was experiencing out of the process.
Compared to other solicitors I have worked with, David was wholly transparent, telling me what he needed me to provide and what his inclusion in proceedings would mean. In every facet, he was true to his word and delivered on every promise.
In a profession where trust is key but not always present, I could not recommend McCormick's highly enough.

Read what you like about Mc cormicks solicitors but, be warned, totally not interested, asked him to defend me said I'd missed appointments but had not been told of them then blames everyone else. Wrote to him twice about additional matters didn't bother replying still waiting. They don't answer the phone, totally disinterested once they
Have secured the fees in my opinion. Use at your peril.

I have dealt with Peter Minnikin in my criminal case. He was very unsympathetic with situation. His attitude was very challenging and rarely made himself available to calmly explain the procedures to me. When my case was finally over, he tried to claim more money from Legal Aid and the fees were contested. After the final bill he sent, Legal Aid needed a letter from him to state that he would not claim more money against my case which he never sent. When I became aware of this I contacted and informed him they were waiting on a letter or email from him. After several requests he guaranteed me he would send it but he never has. I have been waiting for several thousands (5kish) to be returned to me which would be nice before Xmas, and have to wait for at least 5 months before Legal Aid can trigger the refund due to him not sending an email. The entire case was dealt with poorly and I would never used him again, particularly for a criminal case which is supposed to be his specialty. Extremely unhappy customer.

Had an excellent interaction and quick turnaround time with Shah Ahmed at Mccormicks. Attested some documents for me. Came back super quick. Thanks Mr Shah Ahmed!

Very old-fashioned in communication and approach. They did conveyancing on our house sale and were so bad we changed solicitors for our onward purchase. If you want an old-school solicitor who does everything by post and only communicates with you when it suits them then go for it. One contract got "lost in the mail" and our initial redemption statement was done incorrectly. Definitely not one to use if you're under, say, 50 - might as well go for a budget online-conveyancing companies, they're cheaper and likely care just as much as about clients (e.g. not a lot!)
