I received very helpful, courteous and friendly advice from Kirsty Thistle with patient explanations in a field in which I have no knowledge. I am very satisfied with Whitehead Monckton's handling of the entire process.

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.

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

Having received probate funds from my mum and dad's solicitors at Whitehead Monckton, I used the opportunity to buy the property which I had been renting from my landlord for a number of years. Victoria who was the solicitor responsible for me buying the property dealt with my case in a very professional efficient manner, along with her efficient secretaries, Erika and Misty. I would definitely recommend Whitehead Monckton to anybody else for dealing with legal matters
