Extremely disappointed with chris Nicholls. He should have been hounest from the start he didn't want to take on my case for drink driving from the start and I could have found a professional solicitor who genuinely wanted to help me, even though I had legal aid and he wasn't getting his full hourly salary I was treated with no respect the communication was zero he was rude abrupt and only 10 minutes to discuss things in court before the hearing and not the promised 45 minutes!

I felt he was just brushing me off and a I was a hindrance to him. And a lot of important factors he didn't mention in court as it was a special reasons case which I lost. I advise anyone especially if legal aid involved avoid chris Nicholls!

If you are looking for a conveyancing solicitor, I would advice you look elsewhere. Royaly messed up our SDLT and now we are being chased by HMRC for a penalty that wouldn't of occurred if it was sorted correctly in the first place. Poor response to queries, lack of consistency between staff with advice given, as well as making some particularly obvious mistakes that should of been noted by the firm, it shouldn't be down to the client to note there are errors and to chase things with a lack of care from the solicitors themselves. I would go elsewhere.

Not impressed. used for a property sale. Quite straight-forward, no chain and cash buyers. Nothing heard for weeks, then suddenly, rush-rush, need forms signed today as want to complete asap. Emails not acknowledged, final account to buyers calculated incorrectly and sent to them BEFORE we had a chance to check, so needed to go back and amend the following day - luckily they accepted otherwise we would have been out of pocket.

Very terse and abrupt on the phone - did you not like us telling that YOU got it wrong. was more keen to stress he was due to retire than completing our sale correctly (why take it on if you knew you were leaving?). We needed time to check figures and not something you can rush. we ended up re-doing the accounts ourselves, but still they charged us the same for doing their job for them. Can't really recommend unless those taking over can do better. :(

My case was dealt with by Chris and Charlie both of which were very competent at their jobs. Chris attended court with me and gave me advice before and during the case. He was very efficient at his job and if I ever needed a solicitor in future he would definitely be my first port of call

Nobody ever wants to use a solicitor. It is one of those services that you find yourself needing during times of misfortune, unfortunate circumstances or just plain old bad luck. If you should ever find yourself in such a situation, I can't recommend Chris more highly. His expertise and professionalism are beyond reproach and you will feel confident in his ability to reach the best conclusion possible for you.

I went to solicitor Chris Nicholls regarding a matter in November 2020. On the phone I was put directly through to him, I had two further appointments at his lovely offices in Fore Street Bodmin during which my wishes and instructions were established and these were carried through with absolute discretion and with best intention. He also showed understanding and support in order for this to happen and a satisfactory result could be achieved, for which I am very grateful.

I would like to thank Chris and his team what a exceptional service, after a driving while unfit charge chris pulled out all the stops in order for me to retain my licence I can't thank them especially Chris enough! Would definitely recommend using this firm.
