I have been very satisfied with Ellisons for work on my will and a LPA. The two meetings I had with them were very informative and clearly explained what was involved. They were also very helpful in providing me with information on a matter of property ownership. I would definitely recommend Ellisons.

We went to Michelle as she was recommended by my daughter to sort out our wills + POA. We found Michelle brilliant. She was extremely knowledgeable, explained what worked best for us in our situation. She also made sure we fully understood the legalities of everything before signing. Would highly recommend her.

Was a lengthy process but only because the other party took so long to respond each time. Successful outcome which was most appreciated. My Solicitor was very professional but understood my situation well and was very kind to me.

Collected on:
I was told by others that grant of probate can take ages, so was delighted that it only took Ellisons about 10 weeks to achieve. It was speedy as the instructions to me from Ellisons were precise, which enabled a quick resolution. The service was professional and left me in no doubt that things would be settled quickly and to my satisfaction.

Collected on:
Very good legal advice and approachable but the lack of attention to detail on the paperwork (some major mistakes were made) does not justify the obscenely high fees (not unexpected as I was told about the costs beforehand).

MaryCarmel and others at Ellison's did an excellent job of providing timely, helpful and accurate advice during the financial agreement stage of my divorce process. Most importantly to me, the process kept moving without excessive chasing. I would recommend them to anyone looking to engage a solicitor for these types of proceedings.

Catherine did an amazing job at conveyancing our new property purchase. From the start communication was excellent. As a first time buyer I was daunted by the conveyancing process but Catherine did an outstanding job at explaining things to me and progressing the sale exceptionally fast. Thank you for an exceptional service and making the whole buying process stress free!

Audrey McKenna and Ellisons were exemplary when it came to the sale of our house, from start to finish. Everything was dealt with efficiently and politely, and completely business-like. We would hapily recommend Ellisons, and Audrey in particular, for conveyancing purposes

We have worked with Ellisons for a number of years now, specifically Ross Wiltshire and Devon, however we have used many other departments of Ellisons and always received a fantastic level of service. Very approachable, professional and friendly and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
