Fantastic help and support

"I cannot thank Lindsey enough for her professionalism, empathy, and support throughout what was an extremely difficult time for me. Lindsey demonstrated not only a deep understanding of a family law but also a genuine compassion that made the entire process feel much more manageable."

Jess Chappell is highly professional in the provision of advice at the outset of the case regarding handling the remaining section of the application and advice on probate. This continued throughout proceedings. The advice provided was clear and enabled me to feel confident in the route I undertook. I was delighted with the service and the friendliness of the approach. I was kept fully informed and had every confidence in requesting advice. I would recommend Jess for all the above and for its value for money and for the approachable and refreshing response. Definitely would use again if required.

My other will was very old and things have changed since then. I was thinking it would be harder to do, but Mr Farnhill made it very easy.

I worked with Susie at McHale and Co over a power of attorney and making a Will. The service she provided was exceptional. She was professional, kind, patient, and explained everything in detail; answering my endless questions. I felt fully informed, heard, and that my estate planning reflects my true wishes. I would highly recommend Susie to anyone looking to make a Will or plan for their estate future.

Recently, I had the great pleasure of meeting Paul Brocklehurst of McHales Solicitors with the objective of writing my Will. Paul and the other members of staff at McHales, were very pleasant, efficient and professional in all their dealings with me. Paul was very informative and extremely helpful in showing me the options and helping me understand the wordings available to me. I would strongly recommend McHales and in particular Paul Brocklehurst when it comes to Will writing.

I would not recommend. Little care or haste was shown when dealing with my terminally ill mother. The advice given in relation to her will was very poor. We sincerely wished we had gone with a different firm.

We are surprised and concerned about this review, as we have not had any complaints of this nature ever being raised with us directly, by any of our clients. Our team is committed to offering the highest level of service to all clients, so it would be appreciated if you could contact our Relationship Manager, Luke Spilsbury on luke.spilsbury@mchaleandco.co.uk and provide some specific details about who you are and your complaint.

I was referred to McHale and Co. by Schroders Private Banking as I wished to have a Last Will and Testament written. My Solicitor was a lovely lady called Joy Marshall. Joy was very helpful, supportive, and accommodating throughout the whole process. She made sure that I understood everything and that we got everything right so there were no loose ends, meaning that once my Will was completed, I have complete peace of mind. On personal level, I found it quite a thought-provoking process, particularly in the light of my recent, personal life experiences, but Joy’s reassurance helped me though as she was so approachable, understanding, and relatable. In order to have my Will signed and witnessed, Joy and a colleague were able to visit my home when I was unable to attend the office, which was very accommodating of them. I would recommend Joy to anyone who asked me about getting a Last Will and Testament written. Joy is currently helping me with the process of setting up lasting Power of Attorney. Thank you again for your service.

Paul Fitton is the man you need to speak to if you want to get things done swiftly and professionally. Paul is very easy to talk to and will do his absolute best to help you. He is responsive and punctual in his approach. I live in Australia, and a few days ago I needed some advice regarding the executor of my mother's will (my mother and family live in Norfolk, England). I searched for a solicitor in England and found McHale and Co. Solicitors. I contacted them, and within minutes, I got a call back from Paul Fitton. I explained my situation and we arranged a time for Paul to call me back in a couple of days time at 6.30pm (Australia time) and he did, at exactly 6.30pm on the dot! Paul is very professional and knowledgeable and really helpful and such a nice gentleman. If you need a solicitor, you need Paul Fitton, he is the man you can trust and rely on to help sort out your problems. I am currently living in Australia, but I am going to move back to England in the near future and I will be contacting Paul for his assistance in buying a property and for any other legal issues that may arise in the future. I completely trust Paul, not only is he good at what he does, he is a genuinely lovely kind man who wants to help you. Tracey

Life changing motorbike accident

After using a differant law practice for just under 2 yrs starting in july of 2021 and being told false information and none truths !! I found fergus and what a differance withing 7 months fergus secured me a £5000 interim payment that i needed to pay for my mothers funeral fergus has since kept me up to date each week and even at my times of desperation taken my calls and spoke to me . Making everything clear and finally after a 5 year battle fergus and his appointed barrister have got my case to court for a two day trial and have won my case . I would just like to thank fergus and his loyal hard working team for securing my future and doing the impossible and also standing by my side thoughout what was a trumatic trial . Fergus is a man of focus and ambition and stops at nothing to prove his case along with his team .. i will always recommend fergus open heartenly to anyone who has had a motorbike accident as ive never met anyone who works as hard for his clients .. keep up the good work fergus i honestly cannot thank you enough

Outstanding

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend Fergus and His Team After being involved in a bike accident, my case was handled by Carpenters Solicitors for nearly four years, and unfortunately, they were absolutely awful. At no point during that time did I feel confident that my case would ever be resolved, and I didn’t receive a penny from them. In 2025, I attended the Motorbike Show and happened to come across Fergus at his stand. I explained my situation and who had been dealing with my case. Straight away, he reassured me there wouldn’t be a problem taking it on and getting me the compensation I deserved. If I’m honest, I was sceptical at first after my previous experience. However, true to his word, Fergus got in touch the very next Monday after the show. I provided all the details he needed, and he took it from there. What followed was nothing short of incredible. Within just five months, my case was fully settled and the money was in my bank — yes, five months! Fergus was absolutely fantastic throughout. He kept me informed at every stage, gave clear advice on what I needed to do, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Him and his team were professional, supportive, and genuinely cared about getting the right outcome. After nearly four years of getting nowhere, Fergus and his team delivered results in just a fraction of the time — truly outstanding. If I ever found myself in a situation like this again, Fergus would be the very first person I’d contact. I can’t recommend him and his team highly enough.

Outstanding Support During a Complex Divorce Case

I am very happy with the support Mrs Katarzyna Kot-Herbert gave my brother during his family law case. His case was complicated and stressful, but she was always helpful, professional, and easy to talk to. She explained everything clearly and kept him informed throughout the process. Thanks to her hard work and advice, the matter was resolved successfully and brought to a satisfactory conclusion. I highly recommend Mrs Katarzyna Kot-Herbert to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you for all your help.

Client Review for Joanne — Property Sale Solicitor Joanne provided an exceptional service throughout the sale of our property. Her ability to communicate in clear, accessible language made the entire process far less daunting, and we always felt informed and supported at every stage. She kept us consistently updated, handled matters with efficiency, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Professional, personable, and highly competent — we couldn’t have asked for better representation. I highly recommend
