Burnetts Solicitors (Cockermouth) - Cockermouth

John Barwell

Started my journey with Burnetts Solicitors LLP to draft a Will, expecting a smooth and professional process. Instead, I encountered a series of disappointments: a glaring conflict of interest (they represented my landlord in a dispute against an asset in my Will), lack of timely communication, ethical concerns, and a troubling disregard for GDPR compliance.

The situation escalated to an illegal eviction, a stark departure from the ethical, professional standards and fiduciary duty expected from legal services. This experience has been a wake-up call on the importance of transparency, accountability, and integrity within the legal profession.

I urge potential clients to carefully consider these aspects when choosing legal representation. It's crucial that legal services not only provide expertise but also uphold the highest ethical standards to maintain trust and ensure justice.

After 3 years of hard and often challenging work, my case was successfully concluded. This was due to the perseverance and tenacity of Lynne and her team at Burnetts solicitors in Cockermouth, and the brilliant medical experts and barrister instructed to act on my behalf. The process was intense and complicated yet I felt completely confident with this team fighting my corner. I was kept well informed on all aspects of my case and I received updates in a timely manner. Lynne is highly experienced in Medical Negligence and I would absolutely recommend Lynne and Burnetts solicitors to others. They are professional, compassionate and knowledgeable in what they do . Thank you - on behalf of BH

I strongly recommend Burnetts. The team were exceptional, particularly Racheal, who was thorough and prompt. Her proactive approach in chasing and resolving queries was noteworthy. I would certainly use their services again.

I used these a couple of years ago for a divorce. I paid the initial fixed fee for the first meeting and only recieved half the time allocated as they had another client. No apology, no partial refund. The rate was £160 an hour but there was a minimum number of minutes chargeable so I received large bills for something as simple as phoning me to remind me about something. I dealt with Vikki Porthouse. It felt like the majority of things I had to sort out myself. I didn't feel supported and it felt like any excuse to do menial work and then send a bill was done so. Loved sending pointless letters that were completely unnecessary.

I sadly wouldn't recommend. Luckily with my ex partner we managed to sort things amicably ourselves otherwise it would have ran in to tens of thousands of pounds quite easily.

Really not value for money.
