Litigation / Dispute Resolution

I could not recommend Emma Salmon and her team enough! Sadly the situation we were in following the passing of my Dad was beyond anything we could’ve imagined let alone the first bereavement in my adult life which tested my mental health. Emma Salmon and her team dealt with the matter efficiently, professionally and sensitively which made the dispute and grief so much easier to deal with. The estate to my late father wasn’t a huge amount in the grand scheme of things but to be able to be reunited with the most sentimental items we will be forever grateful. I hope we don’t ever have to launch a dispute again but if we did we wouldn’t hesitate to contact Emma Salmon to represent us again.

Victoria was totally professional, reassuring and her response/action times were super quick (Covid lockdown was at its height). My whole experience was seamless, stress free and a successful sale achieved. Thank you Victoria, you are without doubt, an amazing asset to WHM

We were highly recommended to use Whitehead Monckton, and we were not disappointed. The pre-meeting information sent was very useful, the meeting with the Solicitor was professional and effective. There were no delays to the process and we were very satisfied with the Wills we developed with the great help of the Solicitor

Since leaving King Street offices non drivers will find accessing your services direct more difficult as I did. That said, Bekka Fuszard was excellent in handling my query.

Staff are friendly and helpful and provided the service in a timely and efficient way. However, the charges are quite high and may not be suitable for everybody.

This company keep deleting the negative reviews. They completely mishandled our house sale, lost payments we made to them, never moved things along unless we rang to chase, screamed at me down the phone, and after the sale went through, it turned out that half the garden was still showing as belonging to us. The company demanded £1000 to put it right, despite it being their fault. The worst service experience I have ever had. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM.
