We approached Douglas Macmillan Free Wills Month in May to get our Wills prepared, making a donation to the Douglas Macmillan for the service.
We chose Ann McCabe, Solicitors, Newcastle under Lyme who supported this scheme to prepare our Wills. We dealt with Emma Paxton who was very professional and very knowledgeable from the very first phone contact to the final communication with copies of our Wills sent to us via email to check over. Once we were satisfied we had to go into the offices to sign with two members of staff present to witness. They were very efficient and printed us as many copies we required and were given
instructions as to where the originals would be stored. We were surprised to learn Emma actually works from home in Norfolk and we did not meet her in person but that did not affect the friendly and efficient service we received. Recommended to our friends and relatives.

Child contact order

I can’t thank this firm enough for the support, diligence and dedication that they have shown me through a lengthy, particularly distressing child contact case. Sarah has been a rock, taking time to keep me informed and helping me to make sense of a complex process. She was a beacon of hope when I felt most alone, showing empathy but remaining professional in her realism of the potential outcomes. Sarah and her colleagues have empowered me to make decisions and acted upon my instruction in a timely manner. Words can’t express the positive impact that you have had on my family. Thank you

Helped with divorce and child arrangement order - Sarah Longley

Sarah Longley helped settle my divorce and get contact with my daughter back by setting up a court order after the breakdown of my marriage. Throughout the lengthy process that was being dragged on by my ex Sarah was easy to contact and made understanding everything that was happening a lot simpler. she was upfront about the initial costs and provided updates about any potential increases to the quotes as time went on. Thanks to her me and my daughter now get to spend time together again so that I can raise her and help nurture her throughout her childhood. My daughter even thanks her as she gets to see her daddy again and have great fun with him.

Mirror Will

The prospect of drawing up a Will was not going to be a particularly `joyous` experience. However, the Team at Ann McCabe solicitors were a `breath of fresh air` when my wife and I recently worked with Ann McCabe`s Team to write up our Mirror Will. An upbeat experience that was embellished with sincerity, empathy and compassion!! Thank you.

Gave my ex wife (McCabe represented her) disastrous advice costing her in excess of £10k and me in excess of £15k to defend. (As the defendant I WON HANDS DOWN on the day although only the Solicitors win long term). McCabe was out of her depth but rather than resign kept burning fees. Then went on to wanting to charge £50 for a signature on a property transfer doc. Professes to be a devout Cristian yet her approach and handling of the divorce was anything but Christian. 🙈🙈

If I could leave 0 stars I would! I could write a whole essay on the diabolical service I received from this law firm. Made serval mistakes from the get go, which delayed what I was hoping to achieve. When I emailed the head of firm Ann McCabe, she was rude, had no idea what she was talking about. I was trying to delay a sale as myself and my two children were facing homelessness due to the negligence of the child’s father. Ann wrote to me to say they did everything they could to make sure sale happend as quickly and smoothly as they could!? Absolutely Absurd, that she wasn’t even aware this was the exact opposite of my intensions. I was also made aware that “Sarah Longley” who was dealing with my case, was friends with my ex partners auntie who was acting behind closed doors on his behalf, this and the fact they were apparently “making the sale go through as quick as possible” makes me believe they worked against me. It was all back handed and very unprofessional. Ann McCabe was so unprofessional, no sympathy & compassion whatsoever, same goes for “Sarah Longley” who quite frankly had no idea what she was doing. I was invited for a meeting which I never ended up going, as I knew all that would happen would be spoken to like something beneath there shoe, with all there jargon. Please avoid! No doubt she will be trying to get this review down like she did to my mothers.
