I needed some legal advice at short notice. The staff that dealt with my case (Sharon and Tom) could not have been more helpful in bringing my issue to a successful conclusion. Thank you

An unexpected divergence
I initially contacted Ashtons regarding a completely different subject relating to negligence, but I was subsequently asked a question that led to unexpected and very sad revelations. However, throughout I was always treated with kindness and consideration; eg telephone calls to forewarn me of the unsettling contents of professional reports. At mediation, I was again given the same kind consideration so that I would not be unnecessarily upset. I can truly recommend this firm.

First-class service
We were very impressed by both Faye and Tom, who dealt with us very well. They were superb at making dense legal terminology and procedures accessible and we felt consulted and informed at every stage of the process. Our sessions were informal but professional and we are very happy with the choices we have made. Highly recommended!
