ReviewTerminal Summary

Livingstone Brown delivers exceptional client care and positive outcomes for many clients, particularly in abuse redress and personal injury cases, but faces serious concerns around case management delays, communication failures, and potential conflicts of interest that have caused significant financial and emotional harm to some clients.

What customers love

  • Staff professionalism and emotional support, especially team members like Charmaine Ciancio, Kevin Pike, and Elizabeth McAlpine who are praised for compassion, responsiveness, and dedication
  • Successful case outcomes and compensation awards, with clients expressing gratitude for achieving results they could not have obtained alone
  • Clear communication and regular updates throughout cases when properly managed

Common concerns

  • Extreme delays in case progression (7-10 years cited), with documented periods of no work on files for months, causing mental strain and financial loss to vulnerable clients
  • Inadequate case management, poor preparation, and failure to communicate critical information such as court dates, leaving clients uninformed about case status and outcomes
  • Conflict of interest handling and withdrawals at critical moments, combined with financial incentives appearing to prioritize legal aid over client representation

Excellent in all formats

Excellent in all formats. Kevin Pike was exceptional, and he had everything you needed to feel safe, seen, and heard. He was fast-acting and straight to the point, with no strings attached. He worked tirelessly to get the best results possible for my case, and he did it with respect and integrity. Respect was given and appreciated. He is professional, human, and a force to be reckoned with when needed. I highly recommend his services.

Excellent law firm

I am writing a review regarding the personal injury and civil litigation department. Kevin Pike, Director and Bobby Russell, Paralegal supported by John Barnes, Legal Secretary were assisting in my clinical negligence claim. Although, I did not get the result I didn't want, this was due to the merits of the case and not the work from the firm. I have found Kevin and Bobby to be extremely supportive and was very understanding, compassionate and caring to me when I was going through a difficult time. Kevin was very resourceful and clearly is a specialist in mental health negligence claims and knows the procedures very well. There is very few solicitors in Scotland who know about mental health negligence claims however I would say that this firm was excellent in their client care to me and always responded to e-mails very quickly, they kept me up to date at all times and always professional when speaking to them. I would have absolutely no hesitation in instructing Kevin Pike again in the future and want him to know that his support was very much appreciated and shows what a caring and specialist firm Livingstone Brown is with a trustpilot rating of 5/5.
