WE THINK IN FULL COLOUR, BUT KEEP THINGS BLACK & WHITE We’re the A-Z, the ABC and 1, 2, 3 of legal advice. From our origins in the 19th century advising Devon landowners, farmers and sea traders, we’ve grown into one of the largest solicitors in the South West, with exceptional specialists across private client matters as well as company and commercial law. North, South, East or West. Wherever you are, we’ve got you covered. We’re unusual for a South West law firm, because we’re based right across Devon, which means you’re never far from one of our five locations in Barnstaple, Dartmouth, Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay.

Will preparation and finalisation
Both my wife and I were very impressed in all aspects of the will preparation. Karen Miller and her staff were approachable, friendly and knowledgeable.
We bought our property also through Wollens. Would always us again in the future.

Shared ownership - house sale
Katie was amazing during our house sale. we were worried that it would be a long process, being shared ownership. However Katie put us at ease and made the whole process easy to understand. She was extremely helpful and able to answer any questions we had.
We would definitely recommend her to family and friends who are thinking of buying or selling.

Sale of our property
We were very impressed with everyone at Wollens and would thoroughly recommend them in the future. Our paralegal and her secretary were very professional, approachable, efficient, always given us great advice and anything that we didnt understand was thoroughly explained to us. Nothing was too much trouble which made the whole process much easier. Absolutely brilliant - can't praise them enough.

Fast, friendly & reliable
Whilst Wollens were not our first choice (our usual solicitor was acting on behalf of the seller), we are really happy that we chose them for our sale & purchase.
We received regular contact via email & post to keep us up to date with the entire process & despite one small additional cost (which wasn't anything to do with Wollens directly), the prices remained the same, if not less than the original quote we received. We would definitely recommend them in the future.

Excellent service
Mr Dunkley has performed with such integrity and gives and oustanding level of service. I will highly recommend him to all my friends and family. During a very harrowing time he reassured me that it would be alright and he has a very trustworthy and friendly approach.

Sale of property
The sale as quite a long sale but this was not the fault of the solicitor acting on our behalf.

Couldn’t recommend Deborah Baker enough, I had a very long drawn out divorce but Deborah was so fantastic through every step and always there with advice should I need it.
The receptionist ladies were very friendly too and the firm itself is excellent.

An excellent service from beginning to end. I received advice and guidance from an experienced solicitor who prepared mirror wills in a timely and efficient manner all with a caring and understanding approach. I would fully recommend Karen Miller for all private client matters.

About This Branch
Description
Neither too big, nor too small – we’re perfectly formed. With nearly 200 bright people, we think we’re a genuine alternative to much larger firms and with significantly more to offer than smaller, high street solicitors. Yet we never lose sight of what’s most important: to provide the best possible guidance in a no-nonsense, approachable and accessible way. Because no two clients are the same, we don’t paint by numbers. What is the secret formula for being a great lawyer? To actually listen to your client and take the time we need to get to the nub of the matter. It’s why getting to really know you is at the heart of our service philosophy. Because if we don’t try to understand you, how can we possibly give you the best, tailored advice? A diverse family united by a common goal. We’re from all walks of life, but we’re kindred spirits when it comes to our aim of being the complete opposite of a stereotypical lawyer. We always try to give you less waffle, more clarity and no grey areas in between. What’s more we’ll treat you as an equal – our relationship should be open and honest, built on trust and dialogue. Playing our part in our colourful community. When we’re not advising about law, we’re often helping or supporting local charities, good causes or community projects and events. By getting widely involved with the colourful melting pot that is our community and, hopefully, enriching the lives of others, the reward is that we’ll be enriched too. Helping our clients, gaining recognition from our peers. Doing the best for our clients will always be our driving force, but we’re also pretty proud of our haul of industry awards over the years – such as winning the top prize for Excellence in Private Client Practice at the Law Society’s Excellence Awards and Law Firm of the Year at the Devon and Somerset Law Society Legal Awards.
