    Sahdia Malik took on my case. She is friendly, professional and broke down the dispute in to terms I could understand. She was very proficient in her work and every step of the way she would call me and explain what was going on. If I ever have a legal dispute again Sahdia will be the solicitor I first call. Your find it hard to find a better solicitor.

    Will Writing & planning

    We needed to write new Wills. We approached local Will writers and found them limited in expertise in what we required. Following the sale of our old home in London and purchase of a new home in Maidstone, both transactions handled to our satisfaction by Whitehead Monckton in Maidstone. We decided to try Whitehead Monckton again, but this time for the Will writing. We did not consider our planning for the Wills to be over complicated and found Whitehead Monckton to be very efficient and helpful in writing the Wills, to cover everything we required. Against previous Wills we have made, we found the cost competitive. We also have the satisfaction of knowing that our Wills and what we have planned are legal in every respect. Our dealings with them were very friendly and the communication first rate.

    I made a phone call to arrange for legal advice and an appointment. I was told someone would call me back. Over a week later - making more phone calls to chase my initial enquiry and still no one bothered to phone back. What diabolical customer service and a total waste of my time. My situation unnecessarily prolonged by an unprofessional Company! Zero stars from me!

    A representative from Whitehead Monckton Limited responded to this review

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that we did not respond to your initial enquiry as quickly as you expected and didn’t meet your expectations in this instance. This is not the experience we aim to provide as we do strive to respond to all new enquiries promptly (even in times of high demands). If you are still in need of assistance, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you to assist you with your transaction.

      Fantastic Conveyancing Solicitor

      We couldn't ask for a better solicitor to help us purchase our first property. Chantal was proactive and engaged at every stage, making the process easy and stress free. The completion took place quickly and we received our keys right on schedule. WM have good financial crime controls - an intercepted deposit was on our worry list but we needn't have been concerned. I highly recommend WM and Chantal to anyone looking to purchase their residential property.

      Sale and purchase

      After saying for years that I would never move, I found myself in a situation where I had to move. I had lived in my house for nearly 40 years so it was a wrench. Chantal was very kind and guided me through everything that had to be done. She was very efficient, very prompt in all dealings with her, it was amazing to be able to get through to a real live person without having to press many buttons, a direct line to your solicitor is amazing. I would like to thank her, and all at Whitehead Monckton, for making what could have been a very traumatic experience much easier.

      I had a really great experience with Eloise helping me with employment . She did an excellent job and really knew what she was doing. What I appreciated most was how kind and easy to talk to she was. She explained everything clearly and made the whole situation feel a lot less stressful. Honestly just a really good service all round – I’d definitely recommend Eloise to anyone who needs help with employment stuff.
