Legal Support for Employment Dispute
Matter Type: Employment Law
From the moment that Claire contacted me I felt a huge sense of relief that I had somebody who was on my side.
Claire was actively engaged in my case from the outset and very understanding and supportive throughout the process. She responded very quickly to my questions and took away the pressure of me having to deal directly with my employer.
I had confidence that Claire was very experienced in her field. She was very knowledgeable and professional throughout and talked me through my options and I am pleased with the outcome.
I have no hesitation in recommending Claire to anyone who needs employment legal support in the future.

Amazing
Matter Type: Flexible Working
Ashton's have been our family Solicitors for decades now. Again the quality of service and exceptional professionalism carried out by Emily Dixon and her colleagues was second to none. Good, honest, timely execution of this particular case will ensure future business within the practice. Very Well Done.

Paul
The service offered by Ashtons is not cheap, but I consider it to be of great value. We felt that our solicitor - Clare - was as invested in our house sale as we were - much more so than some of the people at the estate agency we used. To 'Professional' you can add 'Friendly' and 'Reassuring'. We could not have asked Clare to have gone further than she did in terms of finding us answers during what turned into a prolonged, often frustrating house sale. Thank you!

Carol
I needed to contact a solicitor as a matter of some urgency, and although the company was only working with a skeleton staff in the offices, due to the pandemic I was given an appointment within 4 days. The initially meeting was excellent and my mind was put at rest, followed by a very comprehensive letter/report detailing how things stood legally. I also needed to have a new Will written and again this was handled very professionally.
I would highly recommend Ashtons Legal and would use them again if the situation arose.
