Successful Challenge to Local Authority

Solicitor Emma Tyrer assisted me to successfully challenge a decision by a local authority. After a thorough research of legal precedents she composed a convincing challenge which was quickly accepted by the local authority without the need for litigation. The responses of Ms Tyrer to my queries were fast and to the point enabling the matter to be closed within a much shorter time than I had anticipated. I am very satisfied with the service of Wollens.

Professional and Thorough

Monica O'Neill, and Hannah Venn-Munns before her, have both shown exemplary and thorough care with dealing with a boundary dispute raised against me. Their responses have been kindly and reassuring, when I (and my late husband) was at my most vulnerable. Being consummate professionals, they have given impartial and timely advice at all stages of this lengthy and ongoing affair, in the course of which they have also revealed aspects of the matter that wouldn't have occurred to a non-professional. I will be forever grateful. A shout-out, too, to Jonathan Dickson, who ably assisted me recently with the rewriting of my Will.

Guarantor dispute mediation

I was being pursued by a residential property landlord's agents for rent arrears for a property whose condition was deemed unfit for habitation even by the local council; the tenant I was guarantor to had even been allowed to break contract early because of the failure of the property agent and landlord to make the property habitable. Mr Kennedy Lugg was able to gather related timeline material to compose a coherent challenge to the agent's insurers, clearly pointing out breaches of contract on the landlord's and agent's parts, and the failure of the agent's lawyers and insurers to review my submitted evidence challenging their claim, as they should have, before pursuing me further. I was very impressed and reassured by the responsive and sensitive service provided and the outcome.

Sarah Rowles has been absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase, and I cannot recommend her and her team highly enough. We were kept informed at every step of the way, and any emails or queries we had were always responded to promptly. Sarah was incredibly efficient, professional and understanding throughout the whole process, and she was always happy to answer any questions we had. We are so grateful for all her help and support in making our first house purchase as smooth and stress-free as possible. Thank you Sarah for such an excellent service!

Thank you for your comments with regards to Sarah - we are so pleased that she has been able to help you with your house purchase. We would be pleased to help you with a future matter should you need. With best wishes Wollens

Preparation of our wills and LPAs was initially daunting. However, Charlotte McGregor, Partner at Wollens in Exeter, made the entire process incredibly straightforward from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, and attention to detail have been exceptional, and she ensured everything was completed promptly and with minimal fuss. We couldn’t have asked for a better service and would have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte and the team at Wollens.

I and my father before me have used Wollens for many years and I continue to use their services because I know from past experience that I could not find a better firm. More recently Wollens have acted for me to sell the family business. A very long haul which was made bearable by Hebe who has been amazing to work with, very patient with me and a superb solicitor. Thank you Hebe, thank you Wollens.

Megan made buying our first home as seamless and stress-free as possible! She worked tirelessly to ensure that the process moved along quickly and constantly kept us updated throughout with clear communication. We highly recommend anyone looking to move house to get in touch with Megan and Wollens. Our offer being accepted through to getting our keys took less than 2 months, which was all down to the hard work put in by our lovely solicitor.
