"I contacted Wolverstans in 2025 for help with my hearing claim from the MOD. Alex Nicholson helped me through my entire claim, set up all my tests at the various doctors. My claim was settled out of court and I was really happy with the whole service."

Amber Parkinson - fantastic Family Solicitor

I cannot recommend Amber highly enough. From the very beginning, she handled my family case with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and compassion. Family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Amber provided reassurance, clear guidance, and unwavering support throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail, communication, and dedication were outstanding. She always took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt informed and confident at every stage. Most importantly, she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. Thanks to Amber’s hard work, knowledge, and determination, I felt supported during one of the most challenging periods of my life. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I will always be grateful for everything she did. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also kind, approachable, and truly invested in her clients, Amber is simply the best.

Professional, specialist guidance during difficult times

I cannot thank Lydia enough for the support, professionalism and reassurance she gave me throughout my divorce. She was incredibly knowledgeable, especially around coercive control and domestic abuse and always made me feel listened to, understood and supported during a very difficult time. Her guidance gave me confidence when I needed it most and I would highly recommend Wolferstans to anyone going through a challenging family situation.

Thank you

I am incredibly grateful to my solicitor Angela and the entire Wolferstans team for helping us secure permission for my oldest daughter to relocate to Australia with us as a family. This case involved years of tension, emotional strain, and repeated challenges from my daughters father, yet they handled everything with strength, strategy, and genuine care for my daughter’s wellbeing but most of all they listened. They fought for us when we were exhausted from fighting alone. Their expertise has changed our lives, and I cannot thank them enough.

Armed forces divorce

From the initial meeting I felt at ease with Catherine. She explained things thoroughly, informed me of all possibilities and gave me perspectives from the opposite side. She gave me sound advice throughout which was suggestive rather than directive. I never felt pushed or pressured into making a decision. Her replies to the opposing side were direct, sometimes with cutting edge. I regularly thought to myself "wow, shes worded that well". And in the end I feel the outcome was fair for all parties involved. I could have come away a lot worse off if it wasnt for Catherine's oversight.

Catherine will be very grateful for your kind words, and we’re pleased that her oversight helped achieve a fair resolution for all involved. Thank you again for trusting us with your matter.

Excellent Communication Throughout - A Positive Experience

Pauline and Edward based in the Plympton office made the stressful circumstance of selling and buying a property much more bearable! They communicated clearly throughout and answered any queries we had a long the way promptly and informatively. There was a good dialogue around timescales from the start which helped to set our expectations. When we requested a date to aim for this was worked towards and clearly communicated to the other parties involved. We have used Wolferstans in the past and find their services to be top notch.

My view

Everyone was so professional, with a warm welcome and just made the conveyancing of my property stressful for me. I appreciated all aspects of their work. Would also thoroughly recommend the Will department on North Hill, again very professional but at the same time offered good advice and were very caring . I thank all for the thoroughness and kindness shown to me.

We used Wolferstans for the sale and purchase of properties, and to write our Wills. On all fronts the service we received from Wolferstans was exemplary! They were in constant communication with us through all the stages, so we always knew where we were in the process, what needed to be done and what we were waiting for. We were able to communicate in which ever way suited us best, email, phone or face-to-face in their offices. We had Aled and Jolanda as our contacts and they were absolutely brilliant!

Brilliant service. Very efficient and the app makes everything very easy to navigate. The team respond promptly to queries and always go out of their way to move the process on. When one person is away they always arrange handovers and let you know who will be staying in touch with you. What could have been a stressful process was made hassle free. Will 100% use them again. A special thank you to Jane Tytheridge and Sophie Page - they are clearly a great team.
