We had been putting off making our Wills for ages. The team at Whitehead Monckton made the process very straight forward. They took the time to understand our circumstances and needs and kept us informed at every step of the way. We have already recommended you to others! Thank you x

The fees were set out upfront so we could make the best decision on the service we needed. Kirsty and Jess were quick to respond and actioned everything quickly for us. Our house sale needed to be done within the probate and Kirsty was able to get the probate through very quickly for us to allow this to happen, thank you so much.

My experience with Whitehead Monckton was excellent. Everyone I was involved with was very professional, caring and competent. My solicitor was Sarah. I would recommend her highly. Totally professional, kind, caring and gets the job done. Sarah made me feel cared about and for. I couldn't have been in better hands. She is excellent at what she does, genuinely cares about you and what she does. If you can get her on your case....do

I have used WHM for just over 3 years on various issues ranging from employment law, a TLATA case but primarily on a family case. They have from day one been friendly, courteous, professional but most of all have shown a genuine care about my case. Sarah, Bethany, Victoria and Albert have been amazing throughout this extremely tough period and have helped me reach the outcomes I hoped for on all cases. I can’t thank them enough for all their help, advice, and support. I know solicitors often get a bad reputation but my experience of this company has been anything other than that and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks all

I came to the Tenterden branch to see Laura Hails for some legal advice regarding probate and my will. Laura was fantastic; giving me the relevant information so I can make the very best informed decisions for my family. Laura was professional and friendly, no question I asked was overlooked. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura at Whitehead Monckton. What an asset to the law firm she is. I will be sending my friends and family to you soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for a fantastic service yesterday. It was refreshing for my calls to be handled so professionally by Zara on central switchboard and then by Diane who clearly cares about customers.

Laura Hails was an absolute diamond.

The job was a very tiny job, hardly worth your effort but it was appreciated very much.

Yesterday made an excellent first impression of a professional firm with motivated professional staff.

Thank you
Paul
