    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.

    Will

    After reading reviews I recently contacted Thomas Denton regarding having a will drawn up. I was put in contact with Catherine Crabtree. She was extremely personable and went through every detail with me so there were no vagaries. Everything was crystal clear. I left their office feeling my business had been dealt with efficiently and thoughtfully. I would definitely recommend this company

    I always try to make an effort to provide a review when its justified, in this case it certainly is. My parents always trusted Thomas Dunton to handle a number of personal affairs and since my parents have passed i have been subsequently been dealing with Thomas Dunton, namely Catherine Crabtree. The service you have provided has been very professional and can see why my parents used you guys, thank you again

    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!

    Thomas Dunton Solicitors were recommended to me by a family member for assistance in making a will. Jashree Patel and her secretary were clear, prompt and helpful in their communications, and I'm confident in the service they provided. Would go to the company again.

      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.
