Wills and Lasting power of attorneys.

Friendly, welcoming and always efficient this was the third occasion that I have used Thomas Dunton Solicitors, for a business lease in 2009, a property sale in 2023 Catherine Westcott was invaluable helping us to complete a very complicated sale.
This year Jayshree Patel helped us to prepare mirror wills and Lasting power of attorneys, her legal advice and friendly manner made this task easier for us and we are now in receipt of all documents.
Overall a great experience and nice to know that legal help is at hand anytime we need it.

Accident at work case

Our case was dealt with professionally and matters were dealt with promptly. We felt completely in safe hands and never felt we were doing it alone. We were fully supported and guided through the legal processes, which sometimes were overwhelming but we felt confident and comfortable with our solicitor, Robert Sardo. We cannot thank you enough.

We recently sold and purchased a property with Thomas Dunton - Temi and Sally were excellent from start to finish. We were kept up to date, they were quick, friendly, efficient and thorough. We also purchased a property last year through them - Because of Temi's diligent work, he noticed issues with the lease which meant we decided to go for a different properly and we're so glad we did.
Thanks again Temi and Sally for all your hard work!
