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

Michael was a pleasure to work with

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.

A streamline service for Wills and POA's

Emily + Louise acted in a professional manner while at the same time being open + friendly. They went through the whole process in detail on the two occasions we met, asking questions along the way to ensure we fully understood. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashton to friends and family.

Ayesha has the gift for explaining everything in detail and in a way that is easy to understand. Her regime for the signing of paperwork involving a witness of signature is brilliant as the documents flow through your hands. She also has an excellent team working with her.

Authorship of Wills with Life Interest over House

We took advice to go to Ashtons to have our Wills written because we each wanted our share of our House to be placed in Trust for our grandchildren, but with a Life Interest in the house for the survivor. This provided some safeguard for each of our halves of the house against future unforeseen events (to pass to our children) while at the same time guaranteeing availability of the whole house (or any replacement) as a rent-free domicile for our survivor. I trusted Ashtons to have the Legal Knowledge to ensure this was done and to provide all relevant legal advice (including inheritance advice) and details of options.

Our experience with Ashtons Legal was excellent. Antonia Ridley-Hughes and her team were very knowledgeable and efficient, replying promptly to our enquiries and completing work in good time and at reasonable cost. Antonia helped us to negotiate the complexities of cross border (England and France) estate planning and wills with clarity and in detail. She also has a friendly manner and is always professional. We would not hesitate to recommend both Antonia and Ashtons Legal to interested parties.

I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal for their outstanding service and support throughout our house purchase. 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!

We recently used Ashtons Legal for the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with the service we received. A special thank you to Kathryn Smith and Sienna Vincent, who were excellent throughout the entire process. They were responsive, efficient, professional and always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. Communication was clear and timely, and they consistently kept pace with us whenever we needed information or decisions quickly. Buying a house can be stressful, and we'd heard plenty of horror stories from friends and family about conveyancing solicitors. Thankfully, our experience with Ashtons Legal was the complete opposite. Kathryn and Sienna helped keep everything on track, proactively dealt with issues as they arose, and gave us confidence throughout the transaction. The service was worth every penny and we would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons Legal to anyone purchasing a property. Thank you again for helping us secure our new home.
