    I have now used Stone King three times to write my will. The experience has been very good, although the service was not cheap.

    We needed someone who would understand our requirements as we have a disabled grandchild and needed to ensure she would be able to stay living in our home with her mother. Everything was discussed openly and with care and understanding. All costs were clearly discussed. The service has been immaculate and very timely. We feel very reassured that our requirements will be met and our children and grandchildren will have a legacy as we planned. Would highly recommend Kathryn Layzell and her team.

    Good advice

    Good advice and deliverables from the team at Stone King. However, communication was often poor with very late requests for my sisters and I to confirm our identities and very poor instructions for collecting documents- email instructions to bring id whereas the actual requirements were to bring 2 forms of id on to include photo and one to include address.

    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.

    I have been dealing with Stone King LLP for a number of years and found them to be very helpful, resourceful and willing to go the extra mile for me as a client. I have used them for trust, wills and probate work and in handling my rather messy divorce. If you are looking for a top quality local law firm then you really should visit Stone King first.

      Rebecca eels managed my divorce procedure in 2024/2025. Thanks to her ineptitude and dreadful advice. I now find myself forced to move abroad because I can no longer afford to live in the UK where my children are… My settlement left my Husband enough money to buy his house outright whilst I was forced to rent properties that were not suitable for my children… and now as a result of having To move house three times in three years, I have lost so much money that I am now forced to move abroad to another country away from my children… Do not use this law firm! They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.
