Grant de bonis non application

I was in the difficult position of having to apply for a Grant de bonis non. Due to my father dying 6 days before completion of a house sale. Kristen Rodgers from Stone King dealt with this for me. I have nothing but praise for the way it was handled. Vl

Excellent service

All the staff at Stone King’s Bath branch with whom I dealt were extremely professional in all respects. All enquiries were dealt with compassionately, quickly & efficiently. (This is all the more impressive in this age of worsening customer service in most walks of life!) Thank you, Caroline Fell & Chloe Taylor.

Wills/Estate/LPAs

Excellent advice on wills and estate review. Overpriced handling of LPAs. Solicitor friendly, efficient and delightful to deal with. To commission a straightforward admin task as are LPAs was wrong…could easily have been performed by a lower tariff legal assistant.

Very disappointed with the way my divorce was handled. I felt the solicitor was out of his depth. There was inadequate scrutiny of any of the financial assets. I felt the solicitor was out of his depth and just wanted a quick result. I would advise against using this firm for anything.

Absolutely brilliant! Philip Askew and his team recently guided me through a house sale which had a number of complications. Everything was handled with pin-point accuracy, attention to detail, and punctuality, and I was kept well-informed at every stage. Philip's professionalism and gracious manner are truly exemplary. I commend him wholeheartedly.

This team took us through the most horrific experience of our lives. Matthew treated us with the upmost respect, was honest with advice and always made us feel like we were in safe hands while he so fearlessly fought for us. Special shout out to Jo who was forever patient with me. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I do not recommend these solicitors to anyone. They were unhelpful and unaccommodating to our situation. We provided all the documents they required from us and then told us they were ending their retainer because we didn't provide all the documents they asked for. We tried to be accomodating to them but it was trying to fit a square in a round hole.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Review of Solicitor services dealing with my Dads estate.

My Dad had his Will held with Stoneking in Bath so when he sadly died in July last year it made sense to ask Stoneking solicitors to help with probate as neither my brother or I felt able to do it ourselves. We first met with Kristian Rogers and Solomon Callen but mainly dealt with Kristian. He explained exactly what would be needed to complete the probate process and followed everything up with emails so I had everything in writing. Kris kept me informed at each stage of the process and I knew if I wanted to ask him something or I didn’t understand things he would talk me through so I would understand. Kris was always easy to get hold of and he would always message me back promptly when I emailed him. Kris was very professional, extremely approachable and very good at his job, I wouldn’t hesitate in using Stoneking if I need Solicitor services in the future. Thank-you Kris and Soloman for helping make an extremely difficult time a little more bearable.

Disappointing and overpriced

Quoted work then continued to add charges without explaining scope. Four difference changes of advisor in one year.

Terrible.. used Luke Watson for an estate issue and he was useless and racked up a £20k bill for nothing. Did a better job myself and estate issue involving breach of poa and fraud now dealt with by a professional expert solicitor. All solicitors will tell you they can deal with an issue and take your money, especially this one. He tells the same old story over and over again about three brothers. My advice dont go near this one.

Philip Askew was incredibly professional throughout the purchasing process, and was paramount in helping me complete on time. Without his careful eye and knowledge, I am certain we would have been delayed significantly. He was also very clear at explaining the finer details of the Barbican estate, and was very responsive replying to various questions I had during the purchase. Moreover there were several issues that would have meant I could be liable for significant future expenses that he identified and found solutions for. I would highly recommend Philip and his team.

Subject: Thank You for an Amazing Work Experience Dear Stone King Team, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for allowing me to complete my work experience with your firm. I had such a valuable and enjoyable time, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. Everyone I met was so welcoming, supportive, and kind—it truly made the experience even more memorable. The team created such a positive and encouraging environment, and I learned so much simply by observing the professionalism and friendliness of everyone around me. I hope Darcy Beauchamp and the others see this Thank you again for making me feel so included and for sharing your time and knowledge. It’s an experience I won’t forget, and it’s further inspired me to pursue a future in law. Warm regards, Sandy Saeful
