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.

Restricted covenant enquiry

David was able to state where we stood on a restricted covenant and the report he produced was written in an understandable format He also answered emails in a timely manner and was also cheaper than other lawyers as he charged by the hour rather than a fixed fee like other solicitors.

Expensive conveyancing and very little communication and follow up. Everything was ok in the end but had to chase up on multiple occasions to maintain progress on the property sale. Would not recommend this firm as you pay a premium price for a basic level of service.

Dear Mr Green We’re sorry to hear that you felt the need to leave this review. We value all feedback and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. If you would like to get in touch with the solicitor who handled your case, they would be more than happy to speak with you directly. Kind regards Sandy (Business Development Manager)

Same experience as S.E.S! They have been "administering" my late mother's estate for 6 years. She was 98, and her Will was written by them as a Trust, with themselves as Sole Trustees. So, on top of the £16K that they paid themselves for probate, they are into us for another £40K, as of 2025. It is a small cottage which has been the home for many years of the excellent lady who cared for my mother. She pays £5000 pa rent, not that we have ever seen it, and for administering it they have charged an average of £8000 pa over this period - a task we would have performed for nothing! We have no idea how much we currently owe, or why - they don't explain. 14 lawyers have been involved, most of whom we have never heard of. But they've told us clearly they're not going to step down as Trustees until we pay their bill, so they're threatening us as well. They even threatened to sell it, which would have put our tenant out onto the street in the middle of winter. Their behaviour may be legal; but it has been unpleasant - my mother intended it for the benefit of her grandchildren, one of whom has Downs Syndrome. No doubt, as with S.E.S, Paris Smith would also class these as mere "concerns"!

from Paris Smith LLP

Dear Neil, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the administration of your late mother’s estate and the associated costs. Your feedback regarding fees, rent, and overall estate management has been noted and will be reviewed internally, as transparency, fairness, and client satisfaction are very important to us. We welcome you to reach out directly to discuss this matter further and address any outstanding concerns.
