Dispute Resolution

Action against previous solicitor

This was a complex and delicate matter that required a great deal of untangling in order to resolve it. This is included a detailed analysis of profits and loss on a Trust investment account that had to be agreed with the insurer's solicitor. After al engthy pursuit settlement was finally reached whick is best in the circumstances. I write on behalf as Trustee of the Trust and on behalf of my fellow Trustee.

Contested probate

Jason Oliver helped us with a difficult contested probate case. From the start, he inspired us with confidence. He is not only a specialist lawyer in this area but he had great common sense and gave excellent practical advice. He always responded very promptly, even out of hours. He was ably assisted by Jacky Sykes who dealt with a related matter following conclusion of the probate case. She was thoroughly reliable and a pleasure to deal with. Oliver Brady also helped out and gave very sensible and helpful advice. All the team were first rate.

I would like to record the sincere thanks from myself and my family for the very professional way that Delicia and Jay at Paris Smith handled the sale of our Mum's house in Southampton. Honestly, it was an absolute pleasure working with you both on this sale. This is the best ever experience working with a solicitor that I have had. At all times you were so responsive and handled all unexpected issues with ease. We would recommend your team to anyone selling their house.

We needed legal advice quickly and found Stuart Allen at Paris Smith just stepped in briskly and sorted our problems. The secretaries were great, communication was excellent and the advice and calming manner it was dealt with was excellent. We have subsequently used Anthony Nixon for wills and LPA amongst other things as well as other members of the team. At no point have we been disappointed. When they couldn’t help they directed us elsewhere to receive the help we needed. I highly recommend Paris Smith for a reassuring and trustworthy experience.

The right advice when you need it.

Any question or uncertainty was answered quickly and confidently. The process was as easy as it could’ve been considering the arrangement was somewhat complex.

Emma Provided 106 provisions for our selves as requested by a particul difficult and somewhat contraditiry local authority in Berkshire near reading. How they can make a simple process last for months following there own polices mainly self defeating. Emma work with us to complete this despite the best endeavors of the authority. Completed in the end. But months instead of weeks Fortunately she had the stamina to endure this and our patience to comply.
