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.

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.

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.

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.

We’re really happy with the service Delicia provided while helping us sell our house and purchase our new property. Delicia and her team were communicative and kept us updated at every step of the process. They were also incredibly efficient and speedy in dealing with everything, which made what can be a stressful process feel much easier. We’re very grateful for all their help and would fully recommend Delicia to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Clear, expert and very helpful

We had been given partial and confusing advice on a tenant situation and didn’t have confidence in it so went to Jacky for a second opinion. She was clear, more confident in her expertise and helpful in advising solutions and leaning in to act upon them for and with us. She advised a clear way through and we now have a good outcome for us and the tenant. I would definitely recommend her and her firm overall, Paris Smith.
