From arranging our first meeting to the final signing of a complex issue (to me anyway) I was kept informed all the way, Bryony Spicer was great and put me at ease throughout.

I own an MSE business and needed quick support with an employment law matter. Michelle Kemp at Frettens Solicitors was extremely helpful, professional, and made me feel at ease in what could have been a very stressful situation. I will certainly be using Frettens Solicitors again in the future and would highly recommend them as a turnkey firm for all family and business legal needs.

We have used Frettons on two occasions now and have found them to be very efficient and friendly. From the staff on reception to the Solicitors and their teams we have had an excellent service and will use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

As someone who transacts regularly and values efficiency, clarity, and professionalism, I entrust all of my legal work to Clare at Frettens. Clare consistently delivers an exceptional standard of service, and I cannot recommend her, and the wider team, highly enough. Their expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail have made every transaction smooth and stress-free.
Frettens have been brilliant in handling my business sale. From first phone call to completion they have been extremely helpful, diligent and responsive. I can highly recommend them !!!
Frettons were amazing. Looking after my Family during a tricky process with the sale of our business. Zoe and Paul and all the Team looked after us and advised us with professional care and attention. Thank you.
Patsy Whitford was fantastic throughout a transaction which had a few problems to overcome .. I was kept informed of every step of the way and progress which had a good outcome. I would recommend Frettens and Patsy as professional and caring.

A Truly Outstanding Solicitors Firm This is my second time using Frettens Solicitors, and once again they have exceeded every expectation. Working within the care industry, having a legal team that is prompt, knowledgeable, and consistently professional is absolutely essential—and I can say with complete confidence that I would not find a better firm to support my acquisitions than Frettens. A special thank you to Zoe Watson, Paul Longland, Hem Kumari, and Patsy Whitford. Each of them demonstrated exceptional expertise, clear communication, and a genuinely supportive approach throughout the entire process. Their responsiveness and attention to detail transformed what can often be a complex journey into a smooth and well‑managed experience. Frettens deliver a rare combination of efficiency, professionalism, and a personal touch. I would not hesitate to return to them again and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable, high‑quality legal support.
Frettens Solicitors have supported Decorum since 2017 and have advised us through every major milestone, including UK rail contracts, private equity investment rounds, and ultimately our acquisition by JR East. Their advice has always been commercial, pragmatic, and grounded in a deep understanding of our business. Matthew Fretten has led our relationship throughout and is an exceptional trusted adviser. Zoe Watson has been fundamental to our success, particularly during the JR East transaction, and her commitment and attention to detail were invaluable. More recently, Paul Longland has joined the team supporting us and has already made a very positive impact. We look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership as Frettens expand their commercial team and support us through further acquisitions, contracts, and international growth. Highly recommended.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Saima Zainab for the excellent service she provided. She handled my situation professionally, efficiently, and with great care. Her communication was clear, and she guided me through the process in a very helpful and supportive manner. I am very pleased with the way she dealt with my matter and truly appreciate her hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend Saima Zainab and the firm to anyone looking for a professional and reliable solicitor. Thank you for all your help and support.

I met with Michelle Hayter at the Ringwood Branch. Michelle was both professional and friendly, taking the time to find out my requirements, reassuring me with how she would proceed and what to expect. Everything was carried out in a timely manner and Michelle kept me updated throughout. I would not hesitate to use Frettens Solicitors again in the future.
