Also known as - Wollens
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.
The rankings below show the areas of expertise that Wollens offers to clients. You can see how good the service offered is in comparison to all other law firms nationally.
Data shown above is based on the reviews and client feedback collected by ReviewSolicitors over the last 12 months.
Matter Type: Lasting power of attorney
We found the online forms easy to follow, then after completion the telephone contact with the secretary was very informative. She arranged our telephone appointment with the solicitor and that was very informative, she then arranged a visit to our home so that we could compile our power of attorney as well, very helpful.

Daisy and Megan were absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone. We has a few ups and downs during our sale and purchase due to circumstances beyond our control and Daisy and Megan guided us through it all with calmness, clear communication and confidence. I would recommend them to anyone.

Daisy came recommended to us by a friend who recently used woollens for a house purchase. From the initial phone call to Daisy right up to the completion, we were kept informed through excellent communication via email and telephone. Daisy kept us up to speed all the way through the transaction, and was pro active in chasing up things/people when little snags came up. Competitively priced and a personal recommendation is what lead us to Daisy at Wollens and I would 100% recommend her, an excellent and professional service,

Daisy's service is a credit to her firm and her industry. Daisy did not disappoint during my recent property purchase. I was kept informed throughout the transaction via very efficient email communication – in fact, I don't think it was necessary for me to speak to Daisy at all by telephone or in-person as the purchase and communication was executed so efficiently. Daisy took the pain out of the most difficult aspects of the purchase and she was able to advise confidently on the more intricate aspects of the transaction. She was pro-active too; I was particularly pleased on several occasions when I wrote to enquire about complexities or odd aspects of the purchase which I had noted, only to be advised these matters were already in hand.
Wollens offered a fixed price quote which was competitive. Unlike many of their rivals, you will have contact with a single named individual from start to finish who understands and handles all aspects of your case. I would eschew any cheap conveyancing deals offered by other parties to your transaction as the perceived "savings" are not worth the trade-offs. I recommend and rate Wollens highly.

I used Wollens as my legal team when recently purchasing a business. Both Dan and Beth were brilliant at dealing with my many queries and questions, and it genuinely felt like they were on my team throughout. Couldn't recommend them enough and will definately use them again.

Thank you for your review - we are pleased to have been able to help Kind regards Wollens
Went through the process of buying our first house with Wollens as our solicitor. Grade II listed house. Our solicitor Jodie was very approachable and friendly. Very quick to get back via phone or email with our questions.
Good clear explanations in writing (and over the phone where necessary) of all searches/enquiries and returned very quickly after becoming available.
Great value for money with no added fees.
Recommended to us by a senior property advising consultant from JLL (Jones Lang Lasalle).
All round friendly, reliable and timely service at a competitive price.

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.
