An excellent all round experience!

A first rate service. Everything was complete in a professional and timely way to ensure that our Power of Attorney documents were written and registered. We have also used DFA Law for a house sale and purchase as well as for preparing our Wills and these services were also undertaken in the same efficient and professional manner.

DFA Law helped me settle my late Mother's Estate. Since I live outside the UK their expertise and professionalism was very much appreciated. They made completing the necessary HMRC and probate paperwork very straightforward. They also assisted with the sale of my Mother's house. I'm very grateful to Hannah and all her staff for their work on my behalf.

A representative from DFA Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted that Hannah and the team were able to support you through the administration of your late Mother's Estate and assist with the property sale. Your appreciation means a great deal, and we wish you all the best for the future.

I recently used DFA Law for a family matter (probate and estate administration) and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From the very first call, the team was professional, approachable and clear in explaining everything. My solicitor took the time to understand the full picture, kept me updated regularly, and was realistic about timelines and costs. In what is often a stressful and emotional process, they made it feel manageable and straightforward. The firm has clearly been around for a long time (over 180 years!) but they’re not old-fashioned in their approach — everything was handled efficiently with modern communication (email, phone, and secure portal).I particularly appreciated their straightforward fees and no surprise bills. Would definitely recommend DFA Law to anyone in Northamptonshire needing reliable solicitors for wills, probate, family law, or property matters. Highly recommended.

Slow to get things done. Needed to chase them up repeatedly following a bereavement. Paid the best part of £10k for an estate totaling just over £200k. Not bad work for a few dozen emails, a zoom call and calculations for my parents estate.

Couldn’t recommend Mark at DFA Law enough! He was communicative, transparent and kept us informed at all times throughout the whole process. He helped us a lot through what was a very complex chain and without him, we wouldn’t have completed within our required timeline! Huge thanks to Mark, my partner and I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Consistently Excellent Service – Four Years On I first used DFA Law around four years ago and left a positive review at the time. Having now returned to them for another property transaction, I am genuinely pleased to say that the same high standard of service is still there. Natalie Grant handled my recent matters with professionalism, efficiency and genuine care throughout. Communication was always clear, responses were prompt, and everything was dealt with smoothly from start to finish. I had two linked property transactions to complete, and Natalie managed everything extremely well. What made it even more reassuring was that the estate agent also commented on how impressed they were with the way Natalie and DFA Law handled the transaction. It is easy to provide good service once, but maintaining that same standard over a number of years says a lot about a firm. This is exactly why I am a returning client and would happily use DFA Law again. A very well-deserved five stars for Natalie Grant and the team. Highly recommended.
