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 cannot thank Bryony enough for her legal knowledge and advice over the last 2 years. I received an excellent service from start to finish. Bryony kept me continuously updated and answered every single email straightaway. Her attention to detail is outstanding and without her I would not have achieved the outcome I had hoped for.

The perfect turnkey firm for all family and business legal needs

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.

Bryony dealt with our case fairly and professionally, providing excellent service throughout. Communication was clear, professional and timely and I was kept up to date throughout the process. Bryony's recommendation for a barrister was absolutely spot on, and we got a favourable outcome in the end. I would not hesitate to instruct her again

Rosemary Sharp was brilliant, shepherding me carefully through my divorce with kindness, clarity and efficiency. It made the whole process so much smoother and less painful than expected. Highly recommend her, and Frettens.

Rosie Sharp (of Frettens) is, by far, the best family lawyer you could wish to engage. Having experienced the services of a number of other family law solicitors during my divorce, and being less than impressed, I have been thankful to have found and secured the services of Rosie. She was recommended to me by a legal professional from a big law firm with good reason. From the moment I met Rosie in person she knew the finite details of my case and instantly made me feel assured that I would receive the very best legal representation from her. She always responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner and made me feel as though I was her only case, even though she was obviously in great demand. During my divorce, at a time of heighten stress and emotionally difficult circumstances, Rosie’s support and advice was concise, insightful and ultimately calming in intense situations. Rosie possesses a rare skill that enabled her to interact with the opposing parties in an empathetic manner that did not diminish my position in any way. What also impressed me was the fact that Rosie had considered and planned for future scenarios in my case from an early stage. She had a strategy that ultimately delivered a fair outcome that was better for me than I ever expected! It is difficult for me to convey just how grateful I am to have had Rosie by my side and the positive impact her involvement in my case has had. Thank you Rosie

I have just completed the purchase of my first house with the team at Frettens and Laura Bowie has been absolutely incredible, she was very approachable, supportive and was able to answer all of my questions and ensured a smooth process for the purchase and keeping me in the loop at all times. I would highly recommend using Frettens and I will recommend them to anyone that asks, thank you for everything!😁
