Dispute Resolution

Action against previous solicitor

This was a complex and delicate matter that required a great deal of untangling in order to resolve it. This is included a detailed analysis of profits and loss on a Trust investment account that had to be agreed with the insurer's solicitor. After al engthy pursuit settlement was finally reached whick is best in the circumstances. I write on behalf as Trustee of the Trust and on behalf of my fellow Trustee.

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.

Contested probate can be a highly stressful process, but we are delighted that Jason, Jacky, Oliver, and the rest of the team provided a first-rate service from start to finish. Knowing you felt confident in Jason's specialist advice and appreciated the team's prompt, practical support means a great deal to us. Thank you for choosing our firm!

I would like to record the sincere thanks from myself and my family for the very professional way that Delicia and Jay at Paris Smith handled the sale of our Mum's house in Southampton. Honestly, it was an absolute pleasure working with you both on this sale. This is the best ever experience working with a solicitor that I have had. At all times you were so responsive and handled all unexpected issues with ease. We would recommend your team to anyone selling their house.

We needed legal advice quickly and found Stuart Allen at Paris Smith just stepped in briskly and sorted our problems. The secretaries were great, communication was excellent and the advice and calming manner it was dealt with was excellent. We have subsequently used Anthony Nixon for wills and LPA amongst other things as well as other members of the team. At no point have we been disappointed. When they couldn’t help they directed us elsewhere to receive the help we needed. I highly recommend Paris Smith for a reassuring and trustworthy experience.

Delicia worked on the conveyancing of two properties. Throughout the process she was contactable and gave clear communication and guidance. The only negative was that the initial onboarding took time and perseverance to complete.
