I can’t believe that review from Kristoffer. Jeremy and Sharon have acted for me many times, most recently setting up my will, and have been incredibly swift, helpful, and professional. This review is out of step with all the others in relation to Rise and suggests he is acting with malice. I’d have no hesitation in engaging Rise’s services in the future.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sharon Garson and the team at Rise Legal for their exceptional service and support throughout the process of buying my property. Sharon was not only highly professional, but also incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. From the beginning, she guided me step by step, clearly explaining everything, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Even though my English isn’t perfect and we didn’t have very frequent communication, she always responded quickly, never made me feel rushed, and took the time to make sure I fully understood everything. Her dedication, attention to detail, and ability to make a complicated legal process feel simple and manageable truly stood out. I felt supported and respected at all times, and that meant a lot to me as a first-time buyer. Sharon made me feel confident and well-informed from start to finish. I genuinely felt that she cared about my case and wanted the best outcome for me. Thanks to her professionalism and friendly approach, I am now a very happy homeowner. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Sharon and Rise Legal to anyone looking for trustworthy, supportive, and efficient legal services. Thank you again for everything, Sharon! Kind regards, Milenka Gocheva

If I could give 0 stars I would. was on the buy side of a transaction for these guys, they took 3 weeks to issue a memorandum of sale on an auction purchase, then tried to forfeit the deposit and revoke the contract with no notice Be very aware if you are dealing with this mob

I purchased my first property, a one-bed in Stanmore and dealt primarily with Sharon Garson and on little occasion with Alli Lipman. In conclusion, the house was purchased with their help but I was left disappointed and not feeling secure on many fronts. I would caveat that I am cognizant of the London conveyancer/ solicitor market being fairly difficult and the quality of service being poor based on accounts by friends. Nevertheless!: - Before accepting my file, Sharon did not inform me of a large amount of annual leave she planned to take immediately afterwards. She reassured me that she would work on my file while away but in emails to the seller’s solicitors, she confirmed otherwise. There was also unannounced leave (for a day max) during what I felt were important dates; - She was very hard to get a hold of on the phone, email or otherwise during the specific dates when deliverables were promised; - She promised a deadline for her report and missed it without forewarning or an early explanation to allow me to manage my affairs efficiently. I had informed her that I had a complicated tenancy agreement and although she assured me she would work with this in mind, I don’t believe she delivered on that promise; - I sent her documents which she then forgot she had received so I had to send those again; - I found her report/ final deliverable difficult to follow at times. Specifically, there were many capitalizations eg “Contract” without a clear indication as to what that document actually was (seller’s pack contained a very large amount of docs of which nothing was titled as such). I also found that some section/ clause numbers of numerous contracts were not correct or i couldn’t find them where her report said I might; - Various overruns were billed but these were flagged close to completion. Had these been brought to my attention earlier, we might have come to a resolution with regard to minimizing these. Having said all of the above: - I appreciated she took on this project even though it needed a tight turnaround; - When we spoke on the phone, her explanations were clear and helpful, and her attitude was very professional; - Even after the overruns, I felt that she was priced fairly cheaply and on the lower end of what other solicitors asked of me.

One can often have a misconception about what to expect from a legal practice, you could be forgiven for thinking you're just one of a number. However, I can hand on heart tell you that from the moment Sharon and the team took me on as a client, they helped me every step of the way. Professional, kind and friendly. I can highly recommend Rise Legal. They took the stress of moving house off my shoulders and made it so much easier to contend with.
