Great service
I spoke to several different members of staff. All good, all helpful, all available, all prompt. So great service, very satisfied, but not cheap.

Would always return to Ashtons for legal advice
We have now had several occasions to use the services offered by Ashtons Legal. They have helped us buy and sell properties, have settled a complicated estate and have helped with the writing and re-writing of our wills. I would always look to Ashtons first if I needed legal advice even though we have now moved to a different part of the country.

Clarifying the unknown
Having found myself unexpectedly, needing to decide the advantages against the disadvantages of applying for deputyship for a recently bereaved family member, I contacted Ashtons Legal. I spoke twice with Janette who gave sound, unbiased, clear explanation of both sides of the decision. She was calm, very knowledgeable, practical and impartial in her delivery of the law points. This was a very positive experience in helping me to reach my decision on whether to pursue the deputyship or not.

Great and prompt advice!
Janette prepared LPAs for my sister and I, and she acted with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Her responses were always timely and even after working hours help wasn’t a problem. I highly recommend Janette to anyone seeking this kind of advice

Estate
I would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal. They have been, for the last 4 years, handling the family estate in the most professional way. Janette Wand, one of the partners working on the case, did so remarkably well under the circumstances. I would highly recommend her for any future legal matters.

Roxanne, Suffolk
My Step Dads will was not straight forward, the Executors declined to act. and I had no knowledge of this process. However Janette Wand did indeed wave her magic Wand. She is truly the Mary Poppins of solicitors.
