Administration of my Father’s Estate

Vicky and the team have been excellent, during one of the most difficult times of an unexpected family bereavement dealing with my fathers estate. As executor I would have been overwhelming had it not been for Vicky and Paris Smith Solicitors. They have been my family’s solicitor for many years, and we have never been disappointed with them. But this time, with some complex things to work through in the administration, Vicky was patient, compassionate and made things incredibly simple. I can thoroughly recommend her and her team for any legal requirements. They were our family solicitors when we lived in Southampton, but we all moved to Cumbria some years ago, and even with the significant distance involved, working with them was easy and progress was rapid. I am very grateful to Vicky especially.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We are very sorry for your loss and understand how difficult it can be to deal with an estate at such a challenging time. We are pleased that Vicky and the team were able to provide patient, compassionate and clear support, making the administration process as straightforward as possible despite the distance involved. Your family’s continued trust in Paris Smith over many years means a great deal to us, and we will be sure to share your kind words with Vicky and the team.

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.

Exceptional Legal Expertise with Genuine Compassion

I cannot recommend Paris Smith LLP highly enough. From my first conversation, Bethan Jenkins was professional, compassionate, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout what was a difficult and emotional employment matter. Bethan took the time to understand my circumstances, provided clear and balanced advice, and negotiated an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the process, I felt genuinely listened to, reassured and confident that my best interests were always at the heart of her advice. What particularly stood out was her combination of legal expertise and genuine empathy. She made a challenging experience considerably easier to navigate, and I am enormously grateful for her guidance, kindness and commitment. An exceptional solicitor whom I would recommend without hesitation.

While Jin is pleasant to deal with, I expected more given the high cost of the lender's required solicitors. Being charged extra for standard services, combined with the lender's negligence (Castle Trust - whom I will never borrow from again), is disappointing. You can easily find standard conveyancing for a better price.
