Excellent Customer Service
The team at Frettens were incredibly helpful when I needed some employment contracts reviewed; Francesca was quick to understand my needs and easily got me set up with an appointment to discuss with a solicitor, and Chris was excellent - he made what could have been a very difficult discussion enjoyable, and was extremely professional and knowledgeable

I found Frettens on-line when searching for a local Solicitor. I was being made redundant by my company and I was advised to seek legal advice. They were extremely professional and quick to respond.

Another property transaction carried out with speed accuracy whilst keeping us fully informed of progress. This is the 4th time my family has used Frettons and the experience was painless. A special thankyou to Shelley Dancer who dealt with our sale, a very professional conveyancing solicitor. Many thanks Mark Gregory

Very good service and advice. Prompt service and responses. Unable to say if competitive pricing, but I would assume so, market forces at play etc.
I would certainly recommend.
No one uses a solicitor for something simple, it’s always because it involves something you cannot deal with yourself. We pay for the advice recieved, which I found to be excellent value.
