Mediation Gough/Hampson

Whilst in the end it wasn't as stressful as I feared it might be, mainly thanks to our solicitor James Thornton, we were pleased when it was over and are hoping we don't ever have to repeat the process. The mediator was good and gave us confidence that we'd get a resolution, or if we didn't it wouldn't be for the want of trying.

Contentious Probate Advice

I sought specialist advice on a sensitive probate matter and was very impressed by James' depth of knowledge and clarity in helping me understand a complex situation. The advice was considered, precise, and gave me real confidence in the way forward and saved the estate a lot of money in the long run. While the communication style was more formal than I’m used to, it was always professional and to the point. Not cheap, but excellent value for money.

I cannot recommend James Thornton, Head of Litigation at Fiona Bruce, highly enough. Honest, open, patient ( especially with some of my questions ! ) good humoured and most of all extremely savvy. He took charge of our case involving fraudulent misrepresentation of our house purchase and delivered us a resounding victory. He took care to explain the legal complexities in a way we could understand, offer insight into how he would advise the other party if he was representing them, and ultimately let us make the decisions. Litigation is a daunting and tedious prospect at times ; it takes some courage and staying power. James however, really did make the process as seamless, streamlined and supported as it could be. Extremely satisfied customers !

Having used a number of solicitors over the years, I was introduced to Fiona Bruce a few years ago to execute the will of my late mother-in-law. They were excellent; compassionate, caring, very thorough, quick and efficient, inspiring full confidence in me. I am now working with them again on a property transfer and am similarly most impressed at the careful advice, thoroughness and integrity shown. I would not use another practice now and would thoroughly recommend them to others.
