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.

It was a pleasure to interact with Katharine as she sensitively handled the administration of our late mother's estate. I can highly recommend DFA Law.

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 β€” 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 Β£10k for an estate totaling just over Β£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.
