A pleasure to deal with from start to finish

Laura was a pleasure to deal with from the start to the end of my property sale. I was acting as an executor, selling a property 350 miles away, and Laura was adept at advising on the special challenges that this brings. I initially met Laura at the start of the transaction and was impressed by her friendly and professional manner. This was maintained throughout the transaction, whether by e-mail, phone, or in person. I spoke to Laura on a number of occasions regarding different aspects of the transaction, and she was always a reassuring and helpful voice.

I have recently had 2 occasions where I used the services of Foys. Firstly my wife and I needed to update our wills. Pauline Warburton listened to our requirement and produced our wills following a draft review. This was in a timely manner and both my wife and I was happy with the outcome. The second occasion I needed advice with respect to Probate. Sally Marriott advised and guided me through the process with ease. I am very thankful to Sally and can recommend Foys for these services.

Toni of Foys provided an Outstanding service. Had a Will to process of a medium size, and of some complexity. Foys took the matter in hand, handled all the legal details beyond my ability, kept me regularly updated, conducted all the research into accounts, and government offices, even dealt with legal difficulties I could never handle, and concluded all the affairs in good time. They handled everything with professionalism, and sensitivity; and their fees were were very modest in comparison to the work undertaken. I highly recommend Foys.

I recently worked with Lee Hunter and his team for probate services to administer my late cousin's estate. Despite the complexities involved, including a large number of beneficiaries and pandemic-related delays, Lee and his team handled everything with professionalism, expertise, and care. Their clear communication and dedication made a challenging process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Lee Hunter and Foys Solicitors for their exceptional service. Thank you for your hard work and support!

Great experience buying my home

I used Foys Solicitors when buying my house and had a really good experience. Magdalena and Lily were both very friendly, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. They kept me updated, explained everything clearly and made the purchase much less stressful. I’m very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend them.

Excellent Service

We were very fortunate when we chose Grace Walker from Foy's Solicitors to act for us in the sale and purchase of our home. Everythig was done quickly and efficiently in a very professional manner and we were guided by Grace through what I consider to be a very stressful experience. Highly recommend.

Andrew Firth

Andrew has supported me on previous occasions and, whilst he has not formally represented me throughout my recent proceedings, he has continued to provide invaluable legal guidance and support. My case has been particularly challenging. Throughout the Family Court process, Andrew took the time to walk me through documentation, sense-check correspondence from the opposing solicitor, and was even available should I have needed immediate assistance during court hearings. This was also the case through my financial remedy. One might argue that this is simply part of the job and that Foys should expect no less. However, Andrew consistently went well above and beyond what I could reasonably have expected. He not only provided sound legal advice, but also knew when the best course of action was to advise me not to respond at all, which was often just as valuable. He has always acted with the utmost professionalism. Equally important, his humour and wit have frequently shone through. During what was, at times, an isolating and overwhelming legal battle for a lay person, those moments of humanity made a real difference. It is something I will never forget. Andrew is a genuinely decent man, an exceptional solicitor, and a tremendous asset to Foys Solicitors. His experience, judgement and leadership are qualities that cannot easily be replicated. I understand that Andrew is now in the process of embarking on what I hope will be a long and enjoyable retirement. Before he does so, I wanted to place on record my sincere thanks, and those of my children, who now benefit from the security of a robust Child Arrangements Order.

Excellent support through a difficult time

I cannot recommend Jayne highly enough. She has supported me through an incredibly difficult and stressful period involving both family court proceedings and financial matters, and I genuinely don’t know what I would have done without her. From the very beginning, Jayne has been professional, knowledgeable, understanding and incredibly supportive. She always took the time to explain things clearly, answer my questions and reassure me when I was worried or overwhelmed. I never felt like I was just another client – I always felt listened to and supported. Going through family court can be extremely emotional, but having Jayne there to guide me through the process made such a difference. She was always honest with me, gave clear advice and helped me feel much more confident about what was happening and what I needed to do. I am so grateful for everything Jayne has done for me and my family. Her kindness and support have meant more to me than she probably realises. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing a solicitor who is not only excellent at her job, but who genuinely cares about the people she represents.

I would highly recommend Rachael Parker at Foys Solicitors. In my experience, she is truly one of the best family solicitors I have ever received legal advice and support from. She is extremely professional, hardworking, kind, compassionate, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to her clients. My family court matter has been very complex, challenging and stressful, but Rachael has worked incredibly hard to prepare my case carefully and thoroughly. Throughout the proceedings, she has always handled everything with the highest level of professionalism, patience and dedication. She has made sure that I have been properly supported and that important matters have been dealt with carefully and appropriately. From my experience with Rachael, I can honestly say that the level of support, effort and professionalism she has shown has gone far beyond what I expected. She has done much more than I could have hoped for, and I am genuinely impressed by the way she has handled everything. Her attention to detail, commitment to my case and willingness to go the extra mile have meant a great deal to me during such a difficult period. Rachael is not only an excellent solicitor, but also a genuinely kind and caring person. The way she communicates, listens and supports her clients makes a real difference, particularly during difficult and stressful circumstances, and helps her clients feel genuinely heard, understood and supported. I have always felt that she genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. I will always be sincerely grateful to Rachael for everything she has done for me. My experience with her has been exceptional, and I cannot thank her enough for her hard work, kindness, professionalism, patience and continued support. I would give Rachael five stars without a doubt, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent family solicitor. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you, Rachael, for everything. I truly appreciate all that you have done for me and will always be grateful for your kindness, professionalism, dedication and continued support.

Jane Fieldhouse is an excellent conveyancer. She is professional, knowledgeable and meticulous at what she does. She paid attention to every detail, kept me updated throughout, managed my expectations well and also adhered to the timings I had given her. She is a huge credit to Foys and I truly felt that she supported me and really worked with me to ensure she could provide me with an excellent service. I had nothing to worry about and I am very grateful for the way she dealt with my house purchase. Her assistant Kirsty was also excellent and always available in Jane’s absence. I would 100% recommend Jane to all, including family and friends. Thank you for your time Jane and I hope you continue to thrive- Kiran
