We contacted Ashton Legal in connection to selling our business. We were put in contact with a solicitor who specialised in the field. The solicitor contacted us and went through everything in a very professional manor and completed all the tasks with ease. Thank you for your help

I have used Ashtons Legal several times to do a new Will. Each time they have been good on advice and preparing my Will in accordance with my wishes. I have used them previously to prepare my Lasting Power of Attorney for both health and finance too. Also very knowledgable about these matters. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.

Ashtons has dealt with all my legal needs since 1986. Jennie Pratt first dealt with my mother's probate in 1986. Since then we have seen a succession of solicitors on various matters and I have no reason to change.

I'm very grateful to Jonathan Dattani for all his guidance, professional approach to my Will and LPA. I am 56 years and needed to update my Will and consider big questions related to LPA. I was quite daunted by the whole matter. Jonathan helped me to understand the matter better by explaining the legal implications of various options. I feel at peace with the decisions I made, and this is largely due to Jonathan's ability to make the information accessible. After my initial meeting with him, I took some time to think about the content of both my Will and LPA. I appreciated this space and Jonathan's flexibility, sensitivity, attention, politeness, diligence, as well as his deeper approach to my 'big' questions. His service was outstanding and the whole process smooth and straightforward. I am also grateful to Hannah Maskell who as Legal PA was also very professional, courteous and great in communication/emails.

Ashtons is very trustworthy and reliable. I needed quick advice with a strict budget and was very satisfied. I had an initial consult with Michael who quickly identified my needs with precision and relevant knowledge. We agreed high level, strategic advice was more valuable than detailed legal research, which ended up exactly suiting my needs and staying within budget. Additionally client care was great and I felt looked after throughout - thoroughly recommend.

Claire's compassionate approach and competent, well thought-through advice were a real stronghold throughout a highly distressing situation. She was the voice of calm we could turn to and trust, she was able to see things from different angles and was incredibly generous with her time sharing her expertise, explaining patiently the details and next steps of what we had to do. She was reliable and quick to respond to our enquiries all the way through. Thank you.

Michael Frape of Ashtons Legal provided excellent service in handling a professional negligence claim for me. The claim was very important to me, and Michael did a highly diligent and thorough job of putting together and pursuing the initial stages of the claim, with the appropriate level of attention to detail, always dealing with the case personally. Michael adapted his fees to reflect the nature and size of the case. Michael was then forced to relinquish the case on grounds of the economics, but he gave time in completing the final stage before the handover to my new solicitor and did everything he could to ensure that went smoothly. Eventually a settlement of the case was obtained and I will always be grateful for Ashtons Legal's part in this.
