I used Watkins solicitors for the last will of my mother , I have received the best treatment during this horrible time, they made everything better and very professional, singling out Tony Calwell for all his advice

We were selling our late daughters flat. It was a Shared Ownership property which complicated things. Then the buyers solicitors had to be replaced. This caused more issues. The whole conveyance took 12 months and we are mentally exhausted. Throughout the process Morgan has been efficient, professional and very supportive. We feel fortunate that she was our solicitor and we highly recommend her, as a solicitor and a lovely woman.

This was my first experience of writing a will. Mariah was very supportive and was able to answer all of my questions, as well as identifying situations which I hadn't considered. I felt confident I had received a good service.

The service my daughter and her half sisters mum have received dealing with the probate and house sale after the death of her father has been absolutely appalling. Two children lost their farther at a young age and not only has this been really poorly handled at every stage in the process, Tony and the team can’t even make the effort to respond to urgent calls and emails from my daughter when she has been trying to find out what’s going on. This has been beyond distressing for the whole family.
Updated my wills, very swift resolution of queries and completed in 2 visits. Unable to sign my signature due to weakness in my hand, but authorised satisfactorily.

Watkins solicitors came very highly recommended to me and I can certainly say that was well proved with my case. I worked with Watkins for 3 years and what a fantastic experience I had with them they got me through the lowest time of my life right up to finally winning my case! They didn’t give up just when there were times when I felt myself giving up. The support was incredible and Emily handled absolutely everything for me taking a lot of stress off of me I cannot thank Emily and the team enough!

We couldn’t recommend Watkins Solicitors highly enough, especially Morgan, who was amazing throughout the purchase of our first home. From start to finish, Morgan was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient. Her communication was outstanding – she kept us informed at every stage, responded promptly to any questions, and liaised proactively with all parties involved to keep everything moving smoothly. Everything was explained clearly, and no question ever felt like too much trouble. Buying your first home can be daunting, but Morgan made the whole process feel straightforward and gave us complete confidence every step of the way. Her dedication, attention to detail, and excellent client care truly stood out. Thank you, Morgan, for helping us purchase our first home. We are so grateful for all your hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend both you and Watkins Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive conveyancing solicitor.

I highly recommend this Solicitors..as they were incredibly committed and super supportive to disability rights issues. They helped us navigate our way through overly complex Local Council’s SEND services and their interpretation of policies and procedures, thus rendering my son to exercise his right to College transportation (POST 16). The legal advocacy that Watkins Solicitors provides is second to none. Whilst a seasoned parent of SEND issues, I have like many others, been consistently bamboozled by the very institutions that should be empowering and Safeguarding Send Young Adults and have really appreciated the support during this distressing and uncertain period. Consequently my son now has the opportunity to reconvene with the very service that provides independence for him to and from College. The team were so consistent and committed to getting the best outcome for my son that I found their legal insight very inspiring and utterly supportive. They also saved my house on another occasion for my son’s future. I can honestly say they have saved our lives, and are brilliant disability advocates!
I can 100% recommend Watkins Solicitors. Louise Price is absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond in my case. She was very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and answered every question swiftly that i had related to my case. Louise was supportive and understanding in a professional manner and involved me in every aspect of my case. Louise went above and beyond i was extremely impressed and grateful to of had her as a solicitor. Watkins Solicitors are extremely helpful when contacted and always responded timely.
Louise has been fantastic in the support and advice during the process from the first meeting up until closing the case at court. She has been with me every step of the way, brilliant and prompt communication over email or phone. Quick responses with emails and letters. I would recommend using Louise and Watkins Solicitors to anyone!
Avoid ! Beverly Watkins advised us to accept a non molestation order despite being innocent to save on court fees. I was later falsely accused of breaching the order which has lead to two arrests and 24 hours in a police cell with no charge made, not Beverly’s fault there but I was NOT advised that I wouldn’t be entitled to legal aid having accepting the order through Beverly’s advice. She was aware that I was going to court to try and gain access to my daughter and all of this has hugely gone against me especially with not being able to afford legal representation. I was later advised by separate legal firms that I should never have accepted the order.
Watkins solicitors and in particular Louise Price were excellent in every way. Louise was not only extremely knowledgeable and efficient but personable, kind and supportive throughout what was a difficult time. She gave comfort, confidence and reassurance at all stages and in the court room was a strong, calm and caring guide. She did her job brilliantly and without fault. We would highly recommend Watkins solicitors as a business and also Louise. Thank you.
