Clear Advice

The advice I was given for setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney - Property and Financial Affairs and Health and Welfare, was presented in clear terms. I was given time and encouragement to ask questions re various points throughout the meeting. I wasn't hurried and felt confident to ask points I wasn't sure of. I would recommend this firm and team highly. When waiting for my appointments the office had quiet professionalism.

Sale & Purchase completed efficiently.

Catherine and her secretary Diane were both very professional and helpful in guiding me through the processes. There were many curve balls in the sale due to delays beyond our control. The purchase of my new home was a quick smooth transition.. I would highly recommend their services.

Following a terminal diagnosis, I was suddenly faced with the urgency of needing a will and LPAs done in a hurry. It was a Friday afternoon and my husband rang Thomas Dunton. No one was initially available. I talked to a fantastic secretary (Tracy) to explain the predicament I was in and she told me she would see to it someone would definitely contact me on the following Monday. As promised, on Monday the 14th of February and during her holidays, Catherine Crabtree contacted us and we were able to get through all the paperwork to ensure everything was in place should the worst case scenario arise. We were both immensely impressed with her calm and professional approach to what was a difficult situation for us. All that could be done, was done on that day which lasted well into the Valentine's Day evening. It is difficult to express the value of such a service to someone going in the following day for a procedure from which she may not return fully in charge of her mental capacity. Invaluable! My heartfelt thanks to Catherine and the team. You have been utterly brilliant when we needed you most. We also worked with Thomas Dunton when purchasing and selling properties in the past. The conveyancing service they provided was excellent, thorough and with great attention to details. Every single member of staff was efficient and a delight to work with. We will definitely be turning to them again should the need arise. In this day and age of impersonal internet services, we feel lucky to have dealt with a firm which operates at the human level.

A representative from Thomas Dunton Solicitors LLP responded to this review

Many thanks for such a glowing review, Danielle. We are so glad that you are pleased with the service received by the team. Wishing you and your family all the very best. Kind regards, Nicola (Thomas Dunton).

We received an excellent service from Thomas Dunton Solicitors (particularly from Sean Cartland who does deserve singling out). They dealt quickly with all legalities surrounding the sale of our property and purchase of our new home. We were kept updated regularly and any enquiries were dealt with proactively which really helped make a stressful process that little bit easier! We would highly recommend them

Dear Julie, Thank you very much for your kind words about our conveyancing team and the service we provided. We're glad that we were able to help with your conveyancing needs and wish you well in your new home. All the best, Thomas Dunton Solicitors

Excellent, friendly experience.

All the staff I met at Duntons were extremely friendly and helpful. I was given the reassurance, help, advice and support I very much needed during my visits to Duntons. A very professional team and Mrs Crabtree was deeply empathetic, which put me at ease. I will be returning in the future.

I am delighted to provide a review in respect of legal services provided by Thomas Dunton solicitors, but particularly in respect of legal advise and support provided by their Catherine Crabtree. Catherine has looked after my Wills for many years. Her attention to detail is excellent and her consistent ability to correctly interpret my needs is impressive, inspiring both confidence and a conviction to continue to seek her council over the years and in the future . Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for such a glowing review, Jeff. I will be sure to pass your comments on to Catherine, who will be thrilled to hear that you are so happy with the service and support she has provided. We look forward to working with you again in future. Thanks again and kind regards, Nicola.
