"I can’t recommend Mark at DFA Law highly enough. He was absolutely brilliant throughout my house sale! Efficient, thorough, and completely on top of every detail. We had some tricky moments and challenges within the chain, but Mark handled everything calmly and professionally,"

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.

A representative from DFA Law LLP responded to this review

I am sorry to read your comments and would like to look into this for you. If you can please provide your full name by email: info@dfalaw.co.uk we will review the matter and one of the management team will be in touch.

Complete confidence throughout my property sale

Living abroad meant I couldn't oversee any aspect of my property sale in person, so choosing the right solicitor was incredibly important. Shahan was perfect for the job. From the outset, he made me feel reassured and confident that everything was being handled properly and that my sale was in good hands. He was always responsive, kept me well informed throughout the process, and took the time difference into account to help avoid any unnecessary delays. His dedication and professionalism made the entire transaction much smoother than I expected. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Shahan and his team, and I can't recommend DFA Law highly enough.

House sale and purchase

We recently used  Mark for both the sale of our leasehold property and the purchase of our new home, and we were extremely pleased with the service throughout. The process was not always straightforward, but Mark was professional, efficient and reassuring from start to finish. Communication was excellent — emails and calls were answered promptly, and everything was explained clearly. We especially appreciated how proactive Mark was in chasing enquiries and keeping both transactions moving, which helped reduce a lot of the stress involved in moving house. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling a property and would happily use him again in the future.

Great service, fixed-fee consent order

Were referred to DFA by Mediate UK for help drafting our consent order, as part of the divorce process. Commincation was excellent throughout. Emma was patient and answered all our questions. She made the process as smooth and pleasant as can be. Price was also very reasonable.
