The Owen Kenny Partnership Omdömen 

Efficient, professional and friendly service.

An excellent firm of lawyers who have handled our property and probate matters for many years and we have received excellent service.

I had occasion to instruct Owen Kenny in two matters. The first was to act as executor on behalf of my late father, and the second was to sell his house. On both occasions the service I received was exemplary, efficient and above all careing.

I gained a conveyancing quote online which was followed by an email from a Sarah Jeffery asking if I wished to discuss the quote, then to call her.
I called and asked for her but my call was answered by a Richard Ayling who clearly was not interested in my request to discuss the quote. He made no attempt to look at my quote or to check the prices included everything, despite me asking him to do this.
He asked where I was buying and when I said that it was a new build but has been on the market for almost 2 years, he replied with "well aren't you worried why it hasn't sold yet?".
He has no idea why I am purchasing this property or why I have to sell my beloved current home.
He has caused me added anxiety and grief that I really do not need right now and I find a question like this unprofessional and unnecessary.
Needless to say I will be spending my £4000.00 conveyancing fees elsewhere!!

David Small is a very dangerous man. He cares not for you, your children or the partner you are fighting. He will destroy all of you simply to fill his pockets with your money. Please, please make a formal complaint to the SRA Solicitors Regulation Authority. David Small must be stopped before more children face lifelong damage and parents mental health damage if not even financial ruin. The more people that follow this advice and complain formally the more the chances are that this man will face his own Karma.

This company does not even deserve one star!

Avoid this company, particularly David Small.

I went to this company for legal assistance regarding my divorce. What was actually a quite straight forward divorce ended in vastly inflated fees of almost £12,000. The case didn’t even reach a Final Hearing.

Much of these fees were generated by copious volumes of totally unnecessary letters produced to both me and my then husband incurring a charge on each and every occasion.

I found David Small’s approach to be quite unhelpful and aggressive at times. I felt he did not have my, or my children’s, best interests in mind. Often I felt bullied by David to unnecessarily aggravate my husband, thus making the case more complex, resulting in more unnecessary fees for Owen Kenny.

My experience with David Small only worsened when roughly £1,000 was added to my bill for David Small’s attendance to a particular Court Hearing.

On the morning of this hearing I met David Small at his office reception. I specifically requested at this time that David should not attend Court as I had a Barrister and I was cautious of the cost of both David and the Barrister being present. David Small agreed and said he would walk me to the Court and simply introduce me to the Barrister. Bizarrely, David then chose to stay for the entire day, much of which was spent waiting around. David Small then charged me roughly £1,000 for the privilege of his company!!

When I questioned these charges I was advised that I had run out of time to have charges reviewed by the court. Interest was added to the charges, some of this interest accrued due to the inefficiency of Owen Kenny in noting a new email address for me.

This was followed by a written threat from Owen Kenny of legal proceedings. Owen Kenny refused to negotiate on these unnecessary fees and the end result was an attempt by Owen Kenny to issue a County Court Judgement against me.

I am thoroughly disappointed with the service provided by David Small and I highly recommend avoiding this rip-off company. A totally unsatisfactory experience which has left me severely out of pocket. Do not use this company!!
