I would definitely recommend Ashtons to anyone seeking legal expertise. Jonathan Dattani is extremely helpful in his knowledge and approach and taking the time to explain things clearly and answering all questions we had. He also completed the work in very good time.

Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney

A fairly straightforward update of wills and writing of lasting powers of attorney was dealt with professionally and pleasantly. The explanation of legal points was clear. The fees were high but were agreed in advance. Would recommend.

We found the advice sound, and easily understood subsequent work done by your colleague was professional, speedy and well done. We were made to feel welcome at our visits and the hospitality excellent.
We would have no doubts about referring Woodfines to someone else. A very friendly organisation. Thank you!

Probate

I have used Woodfines on numerous occasions over the last couple of years. For my Fathers probate, Mothers Will, Mother probate and tax matters. I found them a very professional and approachable company to deal with. They gave me great legal support when dealing with deaths of family members. I especially thank Jonathan Dattani for his guidance.

LPA / Will Update

4

We found the service very professional, the solicitor was very approachable and explained the process clearly. The only downside, which was probably company policy (?) was that he was wearing a facemask which could make it difficult to tell what he was saying at times. Overall though we were happy with the service received.

Excellent Service
We would like to thank Nic Dino, Nicola Burdett and Jonathan Dattani for the excellent service we received whilst dealing with the Sale of our late Father's property. We found Nic and his team approachable, efficient, and knowledgeable, guiding us throughout the conveyancing process.
We would certainly recommend Nic and his team at Woodfines.
