Probate & Estate Administration

A simple estate has taken this firm of solicitors ober 5,5 yaers to administer. at a cost of hundreds of thousand of pounds. They are unresponsive, unprofessional and appear to lack the professional competence to action even the most simple estate. Please advises your loved one s and family to avoid this business.

I've used K&F for the last 30 years on matters across various departments and will continue to do so. Their work is of a high standard and their fees charged are fair and reasonable. Most recently Damien Jones did a great job in handling a probate matter for me.

We are extremely grateful for Damien Jones’ professionalism in helping us to understand what was required for our Wills as we needed to include a Trust, set up for our son who is Autistic with learning difficulties. It is a huge relief to know we have safely prepared the future for both our daughter and our son when we can no longer be there for them. The whole procedure was organised swiftly and safely by the receptionist and Damien’s Secretary, to ensure we were able to complete our Wills during the Covid restrictions. All phone calls and signing of the Wills were carried out with great professionalism, care and helpful manner. We were also in awe of the building when safely sitting in the room to sign our Wills. The whole procedure was a pleasure. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Damien.

Very poor experience

I would strongly advise prospective clients to exercise caution before instructing this firm. In my experience, additional work was carried out without my authorisation, resulting in unexpected costs. When I raised concerns about this, rather than addressing the issues constructively, I received threats of legal action from Chris Hugo, a Partner at the firm. I found this approach to be intimidating, unprofessional, and wholly inappropriate in the context of a solicitor-client relationship. I instructed this firm in good faith and expected transparency, clear communication, and a professional response to legitimate concerns. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Based on my experience, I would not use this firm again and would recommend that anyone seeking professional, client-focused legal representation considers alternative solicitors.

Outstanding Employment Lawyer – Experienced, Strategic and Supportive

I instructed Chris in relation to a complex employment dispute involving redundancy, discrimination and whistleblowing issues. From our first meeting, it was clear that he is a highly experienced employment lawyer with an excellent ability to identify the key legal issues and develop a practical strategy. One of the things that impressed me most was his ability to spot important aspects of my case that I had not fully appreciated myself. For example, Chris was able to identify the potential whistleblowing elements and explain how they fitted into the wider legal picture. His advice was thoughtful, commercially realistic and always focused on the strongest points of the case. Throughout the process, Chris was kind, patient and empathetic. Employment disputes can be extremely stressful, particularly when health issues are involved, but he always took the time to listen and explain matters clearly. He was highly responsive and consistently came back to me promptly whenever I had questions or concerns. Most importantly, I always felt that I was in very safe hands. Chris combined strong legal expertise with sound judgement and genuine care for his client. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking advice on employment law matters.

It is hard to summarise Nicola’s exceptional service, efficiencies, support and expertise. Nicola underpinned her memorising knowledge, experience and professionalism with compassion, patience and understanding, readily available to help me through my very stressful seperation. 11/10, I cannot recommend Nicola any stronger so frankly procure her services before your ex. does!

I recently worked with Knocker and Foskett for the purchase of my first property, and I can't recommend them enough. Amy was absolutely amazing—she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. She was always available to answer my questions and provided clear, professional guidance throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a solicitor who truly cares about their clients, Amy and the team at Knocker and Foskett are the best choice!

I can’t praise this professional firm enough. Special thanks to Rob Spokoini for exceeding my expectations when dealing with the refinancing and lease amendment of my dental practice. I have dealt with numerous solicitors during the past 16 years and can say with confidence that Knocker and Foskett are by far the most professional team among all of them and I consider myself lucky for having found them.
