Gina Payne - Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

Gina helped me with the conveyancing for my late dad's house, and I genuinely couldn't have asked for better support. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, always keeping me updated and answering any questions promptly. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also kind, understanding and a pleasure to deal with during what was a difficult time. I recommend Gina to everyone I speak to who is looking for a solicitor because she truly stands out above the rest. If you're looking for someone who is efficient, supportive and genuinely cares about their clients, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

When you want the best

Although in theory many professional services can be completed without guidance from a genuine professional there are times when you believe that only the best will do. I recently needed a competent conveyancer and someone experienced in probate. At Johnson Astill I found the expertise I needed and despite the numerous phone calls for clarification, response was always prompt, clear and unfailingly courteous and friendly. Needless to say, my advice to anyone wanting the peace of mind which comes with real expertise “You cannot do better than putting your affairs in the hands of Johnson Astill.”

Amazing experience

We wanted to express our sincere thanks for everything you did to help us sell our home and buy our new one. From start to finish, you went above and beyond, and your professionalism, dedication, and support made all the difference. We had been told that moving house would be one of the most stressful experiences in life, but thanks to your hard work, guidance, and constant reassurance, the process felt far smoother and more manageable than we ever expected. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we always felt that we were in safe hands. Your attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to getting things done helped us reach the finish line with confidence. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one. We are incredibly grateful for all your help and would not hesitate to recommend you to others. With our heartfelt thanks,

Exceptional

I cannot recommend this Law firm highly enough. From the very first consultation, the level of professionalism, clarity, and genuine care I experienced was exceptional. Legal matters can often feel overwhelming, but my solicitor took the time to explain every step in a way that was both thorough and reassuring, ensuring I always felt informed and in control. What truly sets this firm apart is their attention to detail and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Every piece of advice was thoughtful, strategic, and tailored specifically to my situation. Communication was consistently prompt and transparent, which made a significant difference during what could have been a very stressful process. Beyond their technical expertise, it was their approachability and integrity that stood out most. I never felt like just another case file—they demonstrated a genuine interest in my circumstances and handled everything with both professionalism and empathy. Thanks to their dedication and skill, the outcome exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a solicitor who combines deep legal knowledge with outstanding client care, this firm is an excellent choice.

Excellent professional service

I was impressed when I used this firm before and have continued to be impressed. Kate and Lucy , the trainee assisting, were always professional and courteous. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and talked me through all options and aspects of the process and the documentation with clarity and expertise. I would not hesitate to use this firm again and to recommend Kate to my colleagues and friends.

Outstanding support and advice

From the first contact with Johnson Astills and Zahrah Mogra was assigned to the case, we knew we were in very capable hands. Zahrah was very responsive and her professionalism and advice helped me through the interview. The clarity of her advice was excellent and to the point. We appreciated her excellent and proactive communication and her friendly approach in a stressful situation. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Zahrah and Johnson Astills.

S A Case

Being arrested on an allegation of S A was the most shocking and traumatic experience of my life. In a single moment, everything I had worked for and believed in felt like it had been taken away. At the police station, I was provided with a duty solicitor and released on pre-charge bail. Over the following months, I attended three bail appointments, yet each time no one was there to see me. Instead, I was simply handed another letter with a new bail date. Whenever I contacted my solicitor for an update, I was repeatedly told not to worry and that someone would call me. No one ever did. The uncertainty was unbearable. The stress and anxiety became overwhelming, especially as I knew that my witness, whose details I had provided from the very beginning, had still not been properly contacted. After countless phone calls, emails and complaints to the police, I finally received a call from the investigating officer. It is impossible to describe how that phone call made me feel. I was told that I had been charged and that my solicitor had already been informed by letter. My heart sank. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt completely abandoned, not only by the system but also by the solicitor who was supposed to be representing me. That same day, after speaking with my family and close friends, I decided I needed a fresh start. I began searching online for a new solicitor. Like anyone else, I read countless reviews, but something kept drawing me to Johnson Astills Solicitors. Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From my very first conversation with the team, and especially from my first meeting with Helen, everything changed. For the first time since my arrest, I felt someone genuinely listened to me, believed in me and was prepared to fight for me. Helen's professionalism, honesty and reassurance immediately lifted an enormous weight from my shoulders. From that moment until the conclusion of my case, I never once felt unsupported. Every question I had was answered, every concern was taken seriously, and I always knew that Helen was doing absolutely everything possible to achieve the best outcome. One moment that will stay with me forever was when Helen told me she had been working on my case until midnight the night before my hearing. While most people would have been resting, she was still preparing my defence. That level of commitment speaks volumes about the dedication she has to her clients. Walking into court as a defendant is something I hope no innocent person ever has to experience. It is frightening, confusing and emotionally exhausting. I remember hearing the judge discussing dismissing the case, but I was so overwhelmed that I wasn't even sure what I had heard. Then I spoke to Helen. She smiled and said, "It's over. You're going home." Those are words I will never forget for the rest of my life. Living with a S A allegation hanging over me was devastating. It affected every aspect of my life and caused me more emotional pain than I can put into words. But thanks to Helen and everyone at Johnson Astills Solicitors, I was able to get through the darkest period of my life. Their professionalism, compassion, dedication and unwavering belief in me made all the difference. They didn't just represent me—they stood beside me when I needed someone the most. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Helen and the entire team at Johnson Astills Solicitors for everything they did for me. Thank you for fighting for me, for believing in me, and for helping me get my life back. I would also like to wish Olivia and all of the trainee solicitors every success in their careers. If they learn from professionals like Helen and the rest of the team, they will have outstanding futures ahead of them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I am delighted that I was able to persuade the Judge that the case should be thrown out before the trial even started. It was definitely the right result and worth burning the midnight oil for! I hope you will be able to put this terrible experience behind you and move on now. BW Helen & the team

Sharon was my solicitor for a family court hearing, from beginning to end she and her team (Maddie) were always keeping me informed and helping me with everything. On the day I was reassured and kept safe, Sharon made sure I understood everything and gave me the best advise. I cannot thank you enough for everything.
