Recovery of erroneous payment
Matter Type: Mediation
Our accountants did not take responsibility for making a payment from our funds in response to a scam email. Michael provided knowledgeable and practical advice at all stages on the approach to take. The successful outcome was a settlement in excess of what I thought might be possible.

Medical claim
Matter Type: Medical Negligence
Throughout the process, I have experienced nothing but support and kindness from Julie Crossley and her assistant Paula. They have demonstrated total professionalism with an empathetic human touch.
Apparently, the circumstances of my particular case were medically and legally complicated and having now received 3 voluminous volumes of notes I can appreciate why!
I can only thank them most sincerely for their diligence resulting in a satisfactory outcome and would have no hesitation in recommending Ashton’s should anyone be seeking legal assistance.

French property legal issues.
We were unfortunately presented with extremely complicated legal conundrums regarding estates and property ownership and sales in France.
Sophie and her colleagues resolved all matters within a time-frame that was much better than we expected during times of uncertainty.
Meticulous detailing, thorough knowledge and creative thinking was required to prevent possible failures and ensure successes so we were very pleased indeed with our initial choice of Sophie and Ashtons for the tasks.

Sameena Manzar
Matter Type: Separation Agreement
It was a pleasure and a priveldge to work with Sameena during my family law case. She was knowledgeable, tenacious, and did everything she could to ensure the best possible outcome for my case. I couldn't recommend Sameena and Ashtons Legal highly enough.

Robin
My family & business have been using Ashtons Legal through their various guises for decades, most recently for matters regarding commercial property purchase. Unfortunately their levels of service have deteriorated seriously due to their recent staff changes and office move. I know good solicitors who have left Ashtons and it would seem the replacements have not been of a high enough quality. We have experienced substantial delays in replies to queries and a lack of care, professionalism and even basic manners which is not conducive to a good client relationship. Unfortunately despite our many years of working with this firm the time has come for us to find an alternative solicitor. I do hope that the customer care team can take this criticism on board and make changes to their practices.

A client
A five star service from a five star organisation. Sophie Hearle and her team were absolutely first class in helping me to deal with my parents estate in France and the UK. A kind, calm, thoughtful and excellent communicator Sophie was faultlessly professional and executed her duties with aplomb and rigour. Thank you.
