    We used Tozer's in Newton Abbot to conveyance the sale of our flat and were delighted. Rebecca and Paula are very efficient and always reply promptly. Their attention to detail is excellent and we felt very confident with them throughout the process. They are both very friendly and personable too, which makes for a pleasant business experience. We are now using them to conveyance our house purchase.

      Family Law

      Outstanding support during a difficult time

      Going through family court is quite possibly one of the hardest things anyone can experience. It leaves you emotionally exhausted and feeling completely overwhelmed. However, having Ellie represent me made this incredibly difficult time so much more manageable. She is not only honest, knowledgeable and exceptionally thorough, but also understanding, compassionate and genuinely supportive. Ellie was by my side through every statement and every court hearing. No matter what emotions I was experiencing or how difficult things seemed, she always listened, supported me, and gave honest, realistic advice. Whenever I wavered, she never did. She helped me stay focused on doing what was best for my son, even when the process felt impossible. Ricky has also been phenomenal in every interaction I've had with him. His knowledge and understanding of the family court process are outstanding, and he consistently provides clear, practical advice that always aligns with the welfare and best interests of your child. He is incredibly approachable, completely non-judgemental, and has an exceptional ability to take in complex information and provide honest, thoughtful guidance. One thing that stood out throughout my case was the integrity with which both Ellie and Ricky conducted themselves. At no point did our communications with the other party rely on character assassination, intimidation or unnecessary conflict. Every discussion, every letter and every decision remained centred on my child and how the outcome could best support his welfare, stability and future. I will be forever grateful to Ellie, Ricky and everyone at Tozers for standing beside me during one of the hardest 18 months of my life. Their professionalism, compassion and unwavering support made an immeasurable difference. I cannot recommend them highly enough, particularly Ellie and Ricky. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.

      I can’t recommend Michelle highly enough. From start to finish, she has been professional, patient and incredibly supportive. She kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and was happy to answer any questions I had. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt reassured that my case was being handled with care and attention. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and her care and understanding made what could have been a very stressful process much easier. I’m extremely grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and caring solicitor.
