Firm review summary
Purnell Creighton has received mixed feedback across its recent reviews. Multiple recent reviewers reported significant dissatisfaction, citing delays in completing work, difficulty following client instructions, and concerns about how staff engaged with clients—notably in family law matters. One reviewer reported that a staff member named Sally dismissed a client's prospects early in a custody case without adequate fact-gathering, which the reviewer felt was unprofessional and judgmental. Overall, the firm's responsiveness and client communication approach appear to be recurring concerns among those who have given low ratings.
