"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,"

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.

Thank you for your feedback. Our aim is always to make the process as clear and comfortable as possible, so it’s great to know we achieved that for you.
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.
Thank you for your kind recommendation. We are pleased you felt supported by Katharine during a difficult time.
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.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re pleased we could support you clearly and sensitively during what can be a difficult process.
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.
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.
Excellent service in writing new will and making other arrangements in anticiaption of care costs coming down the line. Everything explained clearly and sympathetically.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you had a positive experience.
We worked with Katie to produce new Wills and LPAs. She and her colleagues have been really friendly and helpful during the process. In particular she was very efficient and concise with information we requested throughout and the fee was more than reasonable.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad Katie and the team were able to assist you efficiently and make the process straightforward.

Mark was amazing from start to finish, super efficient and brilliant at keeping us in the loop via effective and regular communication. Would highly recommend his services to anyone. Could not have asked for a better selling and buying solicitor. He juggled lots of plates effortlessly and consistently kept on top of chasing lower chain as well as upper chain. Thank you so much Mark.

I wait in vain for a call back from my urgent enquiry almost a week ago. I phoned twice, the first time to be told the team members were in a meeting. Their representative promised to email the details of my case to them and that the team would decide upon the most appropriate member to take on my case, and reply. One and a half hours later with no response and 10 minutes before their closing time, I phoned again to be told that I would get the call soonest the next morning. No such call came. I chose DFA simply because of their marketing leaflet found in the hospital bereavement pack after my mother’s death. The extravagant claims made in that leaflet bear no relation to the reality of their dismal response. Needless to say, I have found an alternative company who have the courtesy to reply, respond and deal with my enquiry efficiently.
We are sorry to read the above and that we were not able to assist you. Whilst you are not a client of this firm, we would like to look into this further and would request that you provide further information by email to: info@dfalaw.co.uk in order that we can investigate. Thank you

I couldn’t have asked for better service from Mark on my recent bridging loan. From start to finish, communication was excellent, I was kept informed at every stage and never left wondering what was happening with my application. What stood out most was how well he understood the urgency of my situation; bridging finance often comes down to speed, and he treated the timeline with the seriousness it deserved. Professional, responsive, and genuinely on top of things throughout. Highly recommended

This was our fifth property transaction as a family with Hannah and her team. The experience was first class from day one to completion. Good communication and will always recommend them to anyone looking to use a local business. Keep up the great work.
Very Happy with Marks communication and getting the job done.
