My partner used wollens for the past 5 years for a personal injury claim his solicitor was Katherine pinnegar and I couldn't recommend her enough she was amazing and got me through such a hard and tiring time she fought tirelessly to get me justice even after the case,she stuck with me until all the financials where completed and I appreciate everything she done for me it was more than just a case it was closure and my freedom to move on if I could give more than 5 stars I would
Thank you for your feedback - we are so pleased that Catherine has been able to help you. With best wishes Wollens
When we first contacted Liz with the issue before us, it was pretty daunting, but we were convinced that something had to be done, especially when the health authority didn't acknowledge any "learning" from their investigations, and as such, others could experience similar problems when in their care. Liz put us at ease from that first contact and it was like discussing the situation with an old friend, albeit in this case a very knowledgeable old friend. We have been kept informed at every stage and although we have never met Liz or Catherine they have prompted us and kept us informed at all times. When you are faced with a dilemma it's good to know that you can depend on the caring approach that Liz and Catherine offer at Wollens.

Mark undertook the conveyancing for our house purchase. He was extremely professional, helpful and approachable throughout, keeping us informed of each development, explaining details when necessary and phoning us to explain various options. When we needed a speedy conclusion to the purchase he wrapped things up at great speed to ensure everything ran smoothly. Would absolutely recommend him.

The dispute resolution team, led by Simon Bean, were very understanding, approachable and professional. Simon really took care to make sure that I understood the case as it developed and gave clear and comprehensive advice as to the best options for my responses. They ensured I was immediately updated of any developments and were receptive to my suggestions on the scope of my communications. First Class,

I cannot recommend Helen at the Exeter office highly enough for anyone going through the difficult process of divorce. From start to finish, she was professional, calm, and completely focused on the facts — exactly what you need during such an emotionally charged time. What stood out most was her ability to keep the process grounded and rational. She cut through the noise, focused on what mattered legally, and never allowed emotions to cloud the advice she gave. That approach made an incredibly stressful experience feel far more manageable. If you want a solicitor who will advocate for you clearly and effectively while keeping a cool head throughout, Helen is exactly who you need. I’m truly grateful for her support.

Thank you for leaving such a detailed review - we are glad that Helen was able to assist with your matter & relieved the pressure of an otherwise stressful situation. Best Wishes, Wollens
Excellent service from a friendly team. There's three things you want from a solicitor - someone who knows their stuff and will tell you as it is, someone who communicates clearly and responsively, and someone you feel is on your side and cares about a good outcome. I cannot rate Craig Smith more highly in these regards.

Highly Recommended – Exceptional Service During a Difficult Time I recently used Wollens Solicitors for the financial aspects of my divorce, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very first contact, the team was responsive and professional. My solicitor, Helen Handley, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She took my case on at the drop of a hat and went above and beyond to support me throughout the entire process. Helen was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring at a time when everything felt overwhelming. She could not have done more to help me, always keeping me informed and fighting hard to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to Helen and the team at Wollens, I felt genuinely supported and confident that my financial matters were in the very best hands. I would highly recommend Wollens Solicitors — and Helen Handley in particular — to anyone going through a divorce or needing expert family law advice. Thank you, Helen!
