Best choice!
An initial meeting left me feeling at ease and confident. The subsequent video call meeting was extremely useful and encouraging. Very professional, friendly and conducted in a way that made everything easier to understand.

Faultless Service
Dovaston Law are exceptional. They went above and beyond all expectations. They sorted my cohabitation agreement, my last will and testament, and my power of attorney. The service was fantastic, communication second to none, was kept updated at all times and it was all in my language so I could understand and no legal jargon!

Divorce guidance
Karen has navigated me skilfully through my divorce process. Very organised, efficient, prompt with responses and advice. She has also kept a level head and been prepared to challenge as well as support in what can often be an emotionally fraught process. She thinks creatively about solutions and at times has gone above and beyond what was necessary. Karen is very experienced and I am glad she is my legal adviser.
