"Alice Trainor was the solicitor who dealt with my case and I found her to be a great communicator who is not only reliable but, also, very capable.\nShould the need ever arise, I would have no reservations about using her again or recommending her services to others."

Harriet Richardson @ Ashton’s solicitors is very professional and always kept us informed on progress with our present enquiry, Harriet was always quick to respond to any queries that we might have been concerned about. Ashton’s is a firm that my family have always used for many years and will continue to do so into the future.

Dear Andrew, We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for everything you did to guide us through the conveyancing process for buying our dream home. Having dealt with a handful of solicitors in the past, I can honestly say that you stood head and shoulders above the rest. Your incredibly speedy replies, clear communication and thorough approach made what is often a stressful process feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. Even when obstacles such as required repairs arose, you handled them with clear comments, making the whole process so easy for us. We are so grateful for the care and attention you put into every step - it truly made a world of difference for us. A special thank you also to Tracey for her support throughout; we really appreciated your assistance in keeping everything on track. You both made the conveyancing process so smooth and easy - something I’ve found to be VERY rare in past experiences. Thank you so much again.

Harriet completed our probate professionally and with care and kindness as it wasn’t an easy time for the family. No question was too silly and she responded to emails promptly. I would definitely recommend Harriet for any probate matters.

French Bank Account

Anne was instrumental in the sale of a French property owned by my sister. However there were still issues in that tax was due and the French Bank Account was still open. As my sister's husband was ill she was unable to travel in order to close the bank account. Anne Hale was approached and offered a very kind, caring approach to get everything dealt with and the balance transferred into the UK account.

I can't thank Andie enough, she made the whole process with Land Registry and the subsequent sale of our land stress free. Andie kept me informed throughout, chasing up where required and answered all my questions speedily. I would not hesitate to recommend Andie.

I have worked with many legal firms, but I was hugely impressed with Ashtons. They understood the situation quickly and provided clear, strategic advice that helped resolve the matter in our favour. Their support did not stop there. They were highly efficient in drafting all the necessary legal documentation, ensuring everything was properly handled and brought to a clear conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend Ashtons.

It’s no exaggeration when I say that Ashtons Legal changed my life after I sustained a catastrophic traumatic brain injury aged 20. Ashtons was recommended to me by the PALS team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, and I reached out to them in early 2022 and the case concluded in mid 2026 due to its complexity. Thanks to the absolutely tenacious eye for detail that Mick Upton used in my case against the individual who injured me in a hit-and-run, and the ice cold professionalism and legal acumen that Marcus Grant presented against the insurance company who were the defendants in the case, I am now protected for the foreseeable future and have access to cutting edge care and financial advice outsourced to excellent advisors who also have a great eye for all things economic. Throughout the four-year process I was kept in the loop every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing was left to chance - Mick Upton led from the front to secure me a settlement which is absolutely life changing and Marcus Grant was there to be the face of negotiation, assist and to provide crucial representation when it mattered most. Throughout it all there was a team of ferociously dedicated and committed executives, managers and assistants who formed the backbone of the case and provided their expert aid when I needed questions answered or needed to provide my own input. I would like to thank one of them, Louise Reardon, for being so kind, helpful and understanding when I found it difficult to complete forms or communicate effectively with the team. Her compassion was second to none, matched only by her ability to assist and offer guidance. For them this was another day at the office. For me, it was simply life changing and I cannot express my gratitude adequately in this review. If you need a personal injury team that fights tooth and nail for the best outcome, look no further. 10/10.

I found the overall process to be very smooth and straightforward. The explanations provided were clear and easy to follow, and the initial quote remained in line with the final costs. I particularly appreciated the transparency regarding each step and the associated fees from the beginning.
