Mckenzie Bell
Average review score : 3.8
McKenzie Bell is a Sunderland firm, and we have deliberately stayed one. We work from John Street in the centre of town and from The Galleries in Washington, and between those two offices we look after a great many families and businesses across Wearside.
We do a small number of things, and we do them properly, rather than spreading ourselves thin. Moving people into and out of houses, putting wills and estates in order, helping people through the end of a relationship, and sorting out what happens when work goes wrong: each of those is handled by a solicitor who does that work regularly, not by whoever happens to be free that morning.
We hold Lexcel, the Law Society's practice management standard, and the Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation, which between them mean our files and our procedures are inspected by somebody other than ourselves. If you need a solicitor and would rather speak to one than to a call centre, ring John Street and ask.
