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"

Sucessful Asbestosis Claim

In early 2025 I engaged Ashtons Solicitors to represent me in my claim for compensation for Asbestosis. I was represented by Ruth Hinchliffe, a charming, polite and very patient young solicitor. This personable exterior hides a very capable and knowledgeable negotiator who was always happy to answer my questions, nothing was too much trouble. There were issues in my case of incorrect medical reports which had to be corrected and she dealt with witness's. I would definitely recommend Ashtons to anyone unfortunate enough to be in my situation. A successful conclusion to my claim has now been reached in less than 18 months, thank you Ruth.

Asbestosis Claim

I was introduced to Ruth when I engaged Ashtons to represent me in my claim for Asbestosis compensation in early 2025. Her very cheerful, confident and patient exterior hides her very knowledgeable and skilled capabilities especially when dealing with my case which required dealing with incorrect medical reports and handling witnesses. Nothing was too much trouble and i am pleased to say she has brought my case to a very successful conclusion, thank you so much, Mike.

Expert Advice with Genuine Care and Compassion

After recently settling our personal injury case, we wanted to express our sincere thanks to Richard for everything he did for our family. From the very beginning, what felt like an overwhelming and emotional process was made so much easier by Richard's professionalism, expertise and genuine compassion. There were countless meetings, reports and questions, but throughout it all he kept us fully informed, explained everything clearly, and always made sure we understood each step of the process. Richard's calm and reassuring manner meant we never hesitated to ask questions, no matter how small. We always felt that our interests were being protected, and his guidance, advice and unwavering support were invaluable in helping S achieve the outcome he deserved. He also had an extensive network of highly respected legal-medical professionals whose expertise proved invaluable throughout the case. Having access to such an experienced team gave us great confidence that every aspect of our claim was behing handled to the highest standard. We hope we never need legal representation again, but if we ever do, Richard would be our first call. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, professional, approachable and genuinely cares about their clients.

It’s no exaggeration when I say that Ashtons Legal changed my life after I sustained a catastrophic traumatic brain injury aged 20. Ashtons was recommended to me by the PALS team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and I reached out to them in early 2022 and the case concluded in mid 2026 due to its complexity. Thanks to the absolutely tenacious eye for detail that Mick Upton used in my case against the individual who injured me in a hit-and-run, and the ice cold professionalism and legal acumen that Marcus Grant presented against the insurance company who were the defendants in the case, I am now protected for the foreseeable future and have access to cutting edge care and financial advice outsourced to excellent advisors who also have a great eye for all things economic. Throughout the four-year process I was kept in the loop every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing was left to chance - Mick Upton led from the front to secure me a settlement which is absolutely life changing and Marcus Grant was there to be the face of negotiation, assist and to provide crucial representation when it mattered most. Throughout it all there was a team of ferociously dedicated and committed executives, managers and assistants who formed the backbone of the case and provided their expert aid when I needed questions answered or needed to provide my own input. I would like to thank one of them, Louise Reardon, for being so kind, helpful and understanding when I found it difficult to complete forms or communicate effectively with the team. Her compassion was second to none, matched only by her ability to assist and offer guidance. For them this was another day at the office. For me, it was simply life changing and I cannot express my gratitude adequately in this review. If you need a personal injury team that fights tooth and nail for the best outcome, look no further. 10/10.

Outstanding Service and Support I can’t thank Mick Upton enough for the incredible service he provided during my industrial injury claim. From the very beginning, Mick was professional, friendly, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always made himself available to answer questions, and guided me through each step with confidence and care. What stood out most was Mick’s dedication and understanding — he not only handled my case with great skill but also offered a level of personal support that made a stressful situation much easier to cope with. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, the claim was successful, which will make a huge difference for me moving forward and help manage any future challenges related to the injury. I highly recommend Mick Upton to anyone needing a solicitor for an industrial injury claim. His professionalism, empathy, and commitment are second to none.

A difficult experience made easier

Loren guided me through the probate maze following the death of my mother. It was a somewhat complicated process, which I, as most of us are, was ignorant of. Loren advised me clearly and concisely and was there for all the daft questions I had. A very knowledgeable and personable young lady who I have no hesitation in recommending.

Dear Sir/Madam, Formal Complaint – Failure to Provide a Quotation and Poor Communication I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received from Ashtons Legal’s Bury St Edmunds office regarding a proposed commercial property transaction. Over a period of approximately two weeks, I contacted your office on three separate occasions to chase a quotation for the legal work associated with the purchase. On each occasion, your reception staff advised that they would escalate my concerns and ask the relevant team to contact me. Despite these assurances, I received no return call, quotation or meaningful update. A commercial property transaction requires prompt and dependable professional support. Having to repeatedly chase a firm simply to obtain an initial quotation gave me no confidence that my transaction would be handled with the necessary urgency or level of communication. As a result, I have decided to instruct one of your competitors. It is extremely disappointing that Ashtons Legal lost the opportunity to act for me, not because of the proposed fees or complexity of the transaction, but because nobody took the time to respond. Based on my experience, I could not recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone requiring a responsive and reliable legal service. Unless prospective clients have several months to spare and are prepared to continually chase for updates, they may be better advised to approach another firm. I would appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been recorded and reviewed by the appropriate person within the firm. Yours faithfully, Paul Hewett

A special thank you to Andrew Skuse and Rachel Chilton, who were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their professionalism, expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. They went above and beyond to help ensure everything was handled smoothly and, ultimately, made our house purchase possible. We are incredibly grateful for all their hard work and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew, Rachel, and the team at Ashtons Legal to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and supportive legal team. Thank you once again for everything!
