Excellent help with my separation

"Joanna was extremely helpful in helping me with my separation. I'd have been lost without her. She managed to keep me safe from an extremely hostile and well resourced ex-partner. Jo took a lot of the stress out of the situation for me and always gave me excellent advice to follow"

Dispute Resolution

Michael Frape and Ross Strowger - a formidable team!

Michael Frape and Ross Strowger make a brilliant team in managing the most complex of disputes covering both commercial dispute resolution and associated employment aspects. They are both phenomenally good lawyers but working together as a team in the interests of their client they make a truly formidable pairing. Anybody experiencing a complex dispute should contact Michael and Ross to conduct their matter. My interests could not have been represented any better and I felt cared for and heard all the way through the dispute resolution process. If you need lawyers to represent you with tenacity, determination and dedication, the combined skill set exhibited by Ross and Michael means their early advice should be sought.

The support was patient and thorough. Care was taken to engage with a difficult client and master peculiar circumstances. It was refreshing to deal with a lawyer prepared to represent people, not only corporate entities.

Compensation claim following injury

Injury sustained at end of October 2021 and resolved August 2025 so it was a long haul. The solicitor was friendly. approachable and supportive throughout. I felt that his legal knowledge and expertise was brilliant and that I was in safe hands. I was never very clear about the communication channels between the loss adjuster, the third party appointed by the loss adjuster, the solicitor and myself but I think any difficulty there was more about a change in loss adjuster with new working practices to deal with. I do think it would be helpful to have a provisional timeline at the outset to enable clients to understand the process. The patient approach adopted by the solicitor allowed for the costs involved in a second operation to be included.

I’ve been working with Michael on a very stressful and complex dispute, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support. From day one he was calm, clear, and straight-talking. He explained everything in plain English, laid out my options objectively, and never pushed me down a path that didn’t make commercial sense. What really stood out was his balance of legal knowledge and pragmatism - he didn’t just throw the book at me, he helped me weigh up the costs, risks, and likely outcomes so I could make confident decisions. Communication has been excellent, with prompt replies and carefully thought-out advice at every stage. Michael is exactly the kind of lawyer you want on your side: thorough, strategic, and honest about where you stand. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Emily and her team were extremely responsive and fast to handle my case. She took the time to make sure I understood everything and resolved my case swiftly. The paralegal and legal assistants were exceptionally organised and good communicators. I would highly recommend Ashton's legal for any employment law cases.

Very step of the way, Claudia (My solicitor) was very helpful and dealt with every hurdle professionally and promptly. Never was there any confusion or communication problems. Everything was explained professionally. Personally I felt that Claudia went out of her way to resolve every situation that would help you in the best possible way. All in all a great experience.

Thank you Michael

I came to Ashtons with a complex partnership dispute, and Michael Frape made all the difference. He is calm, clear and relentless, and he kept me steady through the stressful stretches by always explaining the reasoning behind his advice. He held firm on the points that counted, never overcomplicated things, and was genuinely sensitive to how much was riding on this for me and my family. He cared about the outcome in a real way. The rest of my dealings with the firm were a touch uneven, but Michael was first rate throughout, and he is the reason I would send anyone facing something similar his way. With heartfelt thanks.

Housing & Property

Property sale

Just sold a property with Ashton/Lauren acting on my behalf. Sale was a messy affair with buyer making demands, threats to pull out and at one stage just disappearing for few weeks. Lauren/Ashton legal kept me informed of all progress and managed to untie this knot of vipers. One of the most stand out feature is ease of access to communicate. I had email, office location and even phone number so any concerns could be sorted quickly and efficiently Lastly there was clear and direct communication between Ashton, estate agent and myself. Thank you too all staff at Ashton legal and to Lauren in particular. Ashtons have always granted the needed results and you bring credit to the firm.
